Dear Sir:
I am trying to install CSA on my linux cluster running
kernel: kernel-smp-2.4.20-24.8 and having troubles to make it run.
Here is what I did.
1) I installed job-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm and csa-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm
2) It was OK and got no problems to install them
3) I followed the man page of csa to start the job and csa
4) /etc/init.d/csa start worked and gave no error messages
5) /etc/init.d/job start gave me following error messages:
Enabling Linux Jobs
Failed to load the job module. Consult /var/log/messages for
additional error messages to determine the cause of failure.
and log file: messages showed:
insmod: insmod: job: no module by that name found
6) When I ran /usr/sbin/csaswitch -c on -n csa and got
Can't open /proc/csa
System Error(2): No such file or directory.
Can't open /proc/csa
System Error(2): No such file or directory.
Unable to get the Kernel and Daemon accounting status information.
Unable to get the Kernel and Daemon accounting status information.
System Error(2): No such file or directory
Now my questions are:
Dear Yuan Xu,
Those csa and job rpms need to have kernel patches applied.
1) What version of csa and job should I used for my kernel. I know the
kernel is kind of old but we have to live with it.
Please try to use 2.4.26 version of pagg, job and csa kernel patches
since they contain bug fixes found so far and are the latest version
we maintain for 2.4 kernel. I am sorry we do not have patches for
2.4.20. You likely need to resolve a few conflicts. Please feel free
to ask if you encounter any problem.
Assuming you are using 2.4.26 kernel patches, the job and csa rpm
you already installed are fine.
2) It looks like I have to install patches also. So what versions of
patches do I have to use and
See above.
3) How do I apply patches to my kernel.
You need to set up a linux kernel build area. You can download a 2.4
linux kernel of youe choice from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4
and then use 'patch' command to apply the kernel patches to your
kernel base.
A README file from the kernel source tells you how to build a kernel.
4) How do I load the required module
After you build your new kernel and reboot, the csa and job should
get loaded at system startup.
I will be very delighted if you could help me solve my CSA installation
problems.
Thank you very much and have a good day
I apologized for late response. My email filtering did not work well.
I aleady turned off the filtering. :(
Cheers!
