Summary
--This ISO was generated as Release Candidate to do set of testing for the new bccd-3.1.1 release. Following tickets are being resolved in these Testing ISOs:
ISOs that fix issues: #715, #716, #717, #718, #720, #721, #667, #685, #692, #699, #542, #638, #710, #663, #684, #649, #673, #623, #657, #665, #549, #600
Downloading and Making Bootable USB
First Downloading the ISO form a repository on earlham cs cluster:
first downloading the script for making bootable USB drive
$ svn co svn+ssh://mmludin08@cluster.earlham.edu/cluster/svnroot/bccd-ng/trunk/bin BCCD
$ cd BCCD
This is where the the script exits for making bootable USB from BCCD ISO
Download the ISO from appropriate links
--64-Bit
$ wget http://cluster.earlham.edu/bccd-ng/testing/mobeen/Release-Candidates/bccd-3.1.1-amd64-RC.iso.md5 $ wget http://cluster.earlham.edu/bccd-ng/testing/mobeen/Release-Candidates/bccd-3.1.1-amd64-RC.iso
--32-Bit
$ wget http://cluster.earlham.edu/bccd-ng/testing/mobeen/Release-Candidates/bccd-3.1.1-i386-RC.iso.md5 $ wget http://cluster.earlham.edu/bccd-ng/testing/mobeen/Release-Candidates/bccd-3.1.1-i386-RC.iso
CheckSum Report:
To see if the ISO was downloaded 100% correctly
$ md5sum bccd-3.1.1-i386-RC.iso.md5
0f957fa050951f23b3c6fc8c11d86b06 bccd-3.1.1-amd64-RC.iso
$ cat bccd_latest.amd64.iso.md5
0f957fa050951f23b3c6fc8c11d86b06 bccd-3.1.1-amd64-RC.iso
$ md5sum bccd_latest.i386.iso
0f957fa050951f23b3c6fc8c11d86b06 bccd-3.1.1-amd64-RC.iso
$ cat bccd_latest.i386.iso.md5
0f957fa050951f23b3c6fc8c11d86b06 bccd-3.1.1-amd64-RC.iso
Second Making Bootable USB
The next step will be to insert the 4G USB drive (the Intel one) into the machine, wait a couple seconds, and then do
$ sudo ./build_bootable_USB.sh /dev/sdb bccd-3.1.1-amd64-RC.iso
This is the usual procedure for running the script. The thing that can vary is /dev/sdb; usually this will be the location of the USB, but if there is another USB connected it might actually be /dev/sdc.
NOTE: To see find out the memory partitions run the following command:
$ ls /dev/sd*
or
$ dmesg
ISO TESTING REPORT
LIVEMODE --From USB
64-bit
All the Modules including HPL, and CUDA are working fine under both openmpi and mpich2.
Network Managment
$ bccd-nic-setup
$ sudo /bin/bccd-reset-network
worked fine: and generated no errors.
Liberating BCCD
$ sudo perl /root/liberate.pl --libdev /dev/sda
Liberation pased 77 out of 78 tests. Test # 8 failed.
not ok 8 - Set LVM PV partition type.
LIBERATED -- From Hard Disk
64-bit
Network Setup Managment
$ bccd-nic-setup $ sudo /bin/bccd-reset-network
Network setup workd smoothly. No Errors.
PXE-BOOTING
- PXE-Booting is working.
- All the Modules both compiles and run fine with openmpi and mpich2.
32-bit
Network Setup Managment
$ bccd-nic-setup $ sudo /bin/bccd-reset-network
Network setup workd smoothly. No Errors. PXE-Booting worked fine.
- Most of the Modules Worked fine, under the 32-bit software. CUDA needed some changes to its Makefile --machines 64 to 32. - CUDA: compiles fine, but does not generate the right results. for example, ./hello-world 10 10, both comlumns are 0 0 on the livemode. but on the liberated mode it works fine.
Liberation passed all the test and, most of the things seem to be working.
Final: Comments/Suggestions/Objection/Question/?/?
I guess we are ready for cutting a new bccd-3.1.1 Release.
Great Job all.
