| | 1 | == My PLC installation for Orbit == |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | In this document we outline the process for installing the Myplc controller on a Fedora 8 VM. I'm essentially following the instructions from: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GpoLab/MyplcReferenceImplementation this page]. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | === Step 0 === |
| | 6 | Populate the "varibles" table with values. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | === Step 1 === |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | We install Fedora 8 on a vm by booting the vm with an install iso. The general instructions are detailed [wiki:Internal/VMHostSetup here] (see the section on building a client). The main diffrence is that we use the Fedora 8 install iso, instead of ubuntu. The commands I ran as root out of the /root directory on external3 were: |
| | 11 | {{{ |
| | 12 | wget http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD.iso |
| | 13 | ./install_vm ./vm_img/fedora_server.img ./Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD.iso |
| | 14 | ... |
| | 15 | ./start_vm ./vm_img/fedora8.img 1 |
| | 16 | }}} |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | Where ... is this process: |
| | 19 | * connect to the vnc session on external3:5900 (you will need a vnc client and possibly and ssh tunnel) |
| | 20 | * use the fedora to install the OS mostly this is all defaulted. We even let it do the partitioning, it sets up lvm. The only departures from the defaults were: |
| | 21 | * Skipped the CD check (Purely for convenience) |
| | 22 | * set the root password to .... |
| | 23 | * set the default user to native/.... |
| | 24 | * Completely disable the firewall (there are notes in the Myplc documentation about enabling specific firewall ports) |
| | 25 | * Completely disable SElinux features. (Myplc requires this as a step in the installation process) |
| | 26 | * Power down (don't reboot, as we'll want to start the vm back up with out the install iso, the step immediately following this process.) |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | Once this is done the fedora system should be operational and through the vnc session you should be able to modify settings. I opted to let it preform the 280+ updates, and then edited the sudosers list (by running visudo as root, you will have to su -) to enable the wheel group with out passwords (there was a life for this, I just uncommented it). I then added native to the wheel group, thus giving it sudo privlage. SSHD comes installed by default, so using the native/.... credentials you can ssh into this box. The current Ip given by dhcp was 10.50.250.20. This is useful since you can't copy paste into a vnc window easily. '''Note''' - by default kvm's vnc sessions don't require a password to connect, so they only "lock out" of the machine comes in the form of gdm/console login prompts. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | === Step 2 === |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | Based on the variables from Step 0 I've modified the the repo creation rules to: |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | {{{ |
| | 35 | [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "[myplc]" > /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' |
| | 36 | [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "name= MyPLC" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' |
| | 37 | [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "baseurl=http://build.planet-lab.org/planetlab/f8/pl-f8-i386-5.0-k32-rc-20/RPMS/" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' |
| | 38 | [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "enabled=1" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' |
| | 39 | [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "gpgcheck=0" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' |
| | 40 | }}} |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | Running the update gets us. |
| | 43 | {{{ |
| | 44 | [native@localhost ~]$ sudo yum update fedora-release |

| | 49 | No Packages marked for Update |

| | 51 | |
| | 52 | Finally the results of installing Myplc is a lot of screen dump and a question about if you are sure you want to install. The end results looks like: |
