howto:rocks_install_package_rpm
Installing an RPM on the Rocks compute nodes at kickstart
On the frontend (as root or using sudo
) install the package using yum install
:
$ sudo yum install postgresql-libs
Sometimes you need to enable a particular repo to find the right package:
$ sudo yum install --enablerepo base,update postgresql-devel # or $ sudo yum install --enablerepo epel postgresql-devel
RPM will be downloaded to /var/cache/yum/{REPOSITORY}/packages/
. Copy the RPM to /export/rocks/install/contrib/6.1.1/x86_64/RPMS/
Add a <package>
entry for the RPM to the XML file
/export/rocks/install/site-profiles/6.1.1/nodes/extend-compute.xml
. Note that this entry does not contain version numbers.
We then need to recreate the distro:
$ cd /export/rocks/install $ rocks create distro
You then reinstall (and restart) all the compute nodes. See this wiki entry for more details on how to do that.
