**Minutes reports meeting**\\
gw reconfg vpn\\
c107 4pat vm\\
ccc vm openvpn\\
hadoop -> mpi3 -> ccc\\
__questions at the meet__\\
1.) does hadoop know how too get local data? yes\\
2.)can hadoop data applications be controlled? yes\\
===5/15/12===
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...\\
===6/12-17/12===
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...\\
===6/18-25/12===
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-xen-vmware-kvm-intel-vt-amd-v-support/\\
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===
Moved Hadoop master node from BitGW to PC2... all other nodes are moved down one!\\
===7/7-12/12===
Create user NICK on BITSGW, documentation:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rhql6Xb4XFUINxOcRB8bREwS_Fom8aSVYMR13baTyEw/edit\\
Also had a meeting in C221 on Project:BITS-included Matt, Nick, Scott, Eward, Joe, Me.
===7/12-19/12===
More and revise version of the Bits project documentation! Working more on the network documentation and Reconnecting the VPN connection with corning and sunyit. Had a meeting with Joe Wednesday 7/15/12. Organized Machines and separate the Hadoop machine from bits router.
===7/20-26/12===
looking at making a internal network for hadoop machines. 
==research==
http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Funtoo_Linux_Networking
===7/27-7/30/12===
Setup for the machines is complete and vpn is up. The network setup with a intranet.
===8/1/12-8/10/12===
started working on a custom iso with hadoop already installed. 
==resources==
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
===8/10/12-8/16/12===
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:
