Roy Dragseth of the University of Tromso announces:
The torque roll for Rocks 5.2.0 is now ready for download. Get the bits at
ftp://ftp.uit.no/pub/linux/rocks/torque-roll/5.2.0
The changes are minimal from version 5.1.0. The only difference is the
neccessary changes needed to accomodate the new infrastructure in Rocks 5.2.
Most important software included:
- Torque v2.3.6
- Maui v3.2.6p21
The source code of the roll can be accessed from a public mercurial
repository: http://devsrc.cc.uit.no/hg/torque/
The Rocks way of installing the roll is as usual to reinstall your frontend
and compute nodes, but you can also use the chain of commands to install a new
roll on an existing frontend (with or without a previous version of the roll):
# rocks add roll /path/to/torque/roll.iso
# rocks enable roll torque
# rocks create distro
# rocks run roll torque | sh
# reboot
After the the frontend comes back up you should do the following to populate
the node list
# rocks sync config
then kickstart all your nodes
# tentakel /boot/kickstart/cluster-kickstart
After the nodes are reinstalled they should automatically pop up in the
queueing system.
