SDSC "sdsc" roll

Overview

This roll bundles a collection of files required for developing and using Rocks rolls from the SDSC development group.

Requirements

To build/install this roll you must have root access to a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance).

Dependencies

None.

Building

To build the sdsc-roll, execute this on a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance):

% make 2>&1 | tee build.log

A successful build will create the file weka-*.disk1.iso. If you built the roll on a Rocks frontend, proceed to the installation step. If you built the roll on a Rocks development appliance, you need to copy the roll to your Rocks frontend before continuing with installation.

Installation

To install, execute these instructions on a Rocks frontend:

% rocks add roll *.iso
% rocks enable roll sdsc
% cd /export/rocks/install
% rocks create distro
% rocks run roll sdsc | bash

Testing

The sdsc-roll includes a test script which can be run to verify proper installation of the roll documentation, binaries and module files. To run the test scripts execute the following command(s):

% /root/rolltests/sdsc.t
