In the lab today, counting up and lining up machine for cluster. Router bits-optiplex gx240 first cluster - 6x dell dimension 4600
second cluster - 8x -optiplex gx240
third cluster - mixed and unready
fourth cluster - 6x dell dimension 4600

5/16-21/12

Installed OS on machines.

5/22-24/12

Installed Open Java JDK on all the machines.

5/28/12

Network problem setting the machine dynamically.!
Tried statically setting ip to old ip address(192.168.202.X/24)

5/29/12

Still having network problems… Met with joe to solve them, Joe met with Nick earlier that day.

5/30/12

Still having network problems, configured the machine to have hadoop connected to the java directory(used the bitsgw for a template.) bitsgw has it configured to $HOME=/etc/java/jdk for example..

5/31/12

bitsgw was setup to work along in hadoop now need to configure to work with the other machines… looking into configuration
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r1.0.3/cluster_setup.html
making a cluster.

6/1-12/12

Network fixed statically, hadoop configurations for NameNode/DataNode and JobTracker/TaskTracker. still confused on how these files are created or made looking for examples…

http://opennebula.org/about:about
looking at the machines and ran the following command: egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
seems that none of the dells in the lab work for open nebula…

more support research for opennebula…
next project is setup for pxe server. Want to create a pxe server in order to have nodes for hadoop be created and used on the fly!

6/26/12-7/1/12

http://web.cs.sunyit.edu/~tulowij/ together we were able to create something!

7/2-7/6/12

Meeting with Joe discussion on how his script with work with my custom iso. Joe edited the pxe server and did a refresh. Talked about generating the keys for the node in order to do a passwordless login. Custom iso is Ubuntu server 12.04 with bin/except needed.

Fall 2012 Semester

9/20/12

Researched services to accomplish our goal PXE, NETBOOT, NFS server.
Just to make clear what we want is a diskless networking boot of hadoop machines that can be created dynamically. X amount of nodes with a virtual master node and a virtual router w/ vpn setup to other routers.

“Matt's email” Here's on online LDAP book I have heard good things about:

  http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/

First testing step would be to set up a local server, put a few users in it, and configure a few clients to authenticate, and get that to work.

When you're ready, I've always been particularly fond of these tutorials:
