Installation of Globus Toolkit 4.0.8 on Scientific Linux 5.5 running virtually within VMware on openSUSE 11.1 ¶

In order to run Globus Toolkit in a virtual machine you need:

A host (here: ursaminor, 129.206.110.201)
A basic operating system (here: openSUSE 11.1)
A virtualizer (here: VMware)
An operation system on the virtual machine (here: Scientific Linux 5.5)
A Globus Toolkit installation (here: Globus Toolkit 4.0.8)
A personal User Certificate

Installation of openSUSE 11.1 ¶

Download openSUSE 11.1 (decide and retain 32 or 64 bit)
Install openSUSE 11.1
- Use default settings
- Choose KDE 3 as desktop
Use Yast ("System" → "Date and Time") to synchronize with NTP Server (here: 129.206.110.100)

Hint: There is VMware support up to Linux Kernel 2.6.38. Hence openSUSE 11.1 (2.6.27), openSUSE 11.2 (2.6.31), openSUSE 11.3 (2.6.34) and openSUSE 11.4 (2.6.37), but not openSUSE 12.1 (3.x)!

Installation of VMware ¶

Download ¶

- Make settings according to Deliverable 5.1 p. 21 et seqq.
Install Scientific Linux from image
- Make settings according to Deliverable 5.1 p. 28 et seqq.
Improve VMware Player
- Update (automatic reminder while starting VMware Player)
- Install VMware tools (start from menu while virtual machine is running, see Deliverable 5.1 p. 46 et seqq.)
- Synchronize virtual machine time with host time
  - vmware-toolbox
  - Check "Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system"
  - "Close"
Make network connection to virtual machine (here: 129.206.112.253 respectively dgsi.zah.uni-heidelberg.de)
- Ask your system administrator (here: Dr. Peter Schwekendiek)

Virtual Machine ¶

Add Shared Folder:

"Virtual Machine" → "Virtual Machine Settings"
- "Options" → "Shared Folders"
  - Check "Always enabled"
  - "Add..."
    - Name: testbed_share
    - Host Path: /home/rieger/testbed_share
    - Checked: "Enabled"
    - Unchecked: "Read-only"
    - "OK"
- "Save"

Shutdown virtual machine:

"File" → "Suspend and Quit"

Add script to shared folder:

Get script generate_nodes.sh
scp generate_nodes.sh rieger@129.206.110.201:/home/rieger/generate_nodes.sh

Zip ¶

Update Zip ¶

To pack files bigger than 2 GB you need at least zip version 3.0! Therefore an update is necessary in case of openSUSE 11.1.

Get from download.opensuse.org/source/factory/repo/oss/suse/src/ the most recent version of:
- zip-3.0-7.3.src.rpm

Copy file to host ursaminor:

scp zip-3.0-7.3.src.rpm root@129.206.110.201:/root/

ssh root@129.206.110.201
rpmbuild --rebuild zip-3.0-7.3.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/
ls
```
zip-3.0-7.3.i586.rpm
```
rpm -Uvh zip-3.0-7.3.i586.rpm
exit

Create Zip File ¶

ssh rieger@129.206.110.201
cd vmware/
ls
```
Virtual_Globus_Toolkit
```
zip -r fullblown.zip Virtual_Globus_Toolkit/

exit

Run Script on Virtual Machine ¶

Restart virtual machine, then proceed:

ssh globus@dgsi.zah.uni-heidelberg.de
cd /mnt/hgfs/testbed_share/

ls

generate_nodes.sh  Virtual_Globus_Toolkit_C

vi generate_nodes.sh

Search "VM_FULL=" (?VM_FULL=)

Change (i)
