======Installation Guide 5.5====== ===== Verifying Globus Installation ===== As GridWay relies on Globus services, it is assumed that a Globus grid infrastructure has been installed and configured. You can perform the following tests to verify your Globus pre-WS installation, and to ensure that it will work with GridWay: * 1. Authorization test:$ globusrun -a -r localhostYou should receive the message "GRAM Authentication test successful". * 2. Submission test:$ globus-job-run localhost /bin/uname -a You should see the output of the "/bin/uname -a" command. * 3. File transfer test: $ globus-url-copy file:///etc/hosts gsiftp://localhost/tmp/hosts1 $ globus-url-copy gsiftp://localhost/tmp/hosts1 file:///tmp/hosts2 The contents of files /etc/hosts, /tmp/hosts1 and /tmp/hosts2 should be identical. * 4. Information retrieval test:$ grid-info-search -x You should see a lot of information in LDIF format. Change localhost to the name of the host your want to test. You can perform the following tests to verify your Globus WS installation, and to ensure that it will work with GridWay: * 1. Submission test: $ globusrun-ws -submit -F localhost -s -c /bin/uname -a You should see the output of the "/bin/uname -a" command (along with other information about submission progress). * 2. File transfer test: $ globus-url-copy file:///etc/hosts gsiftp://localhost/tmp/hosts1 $ globus-url-copy gsiftp://localhost/tmp/hosts1 file:///tmp/hosts2 The contents of files /etc/hosts, /tmp/hosts1 and /tmp/hosts2 should be identical. * 3. Information retrieval test $ wsrf-query -s https://localhost:8443/wsrf/services/DefaultIndexService You should see a lot of information in XML format. ^ Note ^ | XML documents from wsrf-query should not contain any DEBUG messages. SOAP Message Logging for the client tools has to be disabled in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/log4j.properties. | Change localhost to the name of the host your want to test. If a binary distribution of the Globus Toolkit is installed, you may be required to manually install //globus_core// (used to detect the compiler and platform settings of the computer that the Toolkit is installed on). The following command can be used to perform this operation: $ $GLOBUS_LOCATION/sbin/gpt-build -nosrc More information about this procedure is available ([[http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.2/4.2.0/admin/install/gtadmin-packaging.html|here]]). ===== Required Software ===== GridWay is distributed as a source package, required software to compile it: * C compiler: Tested versions gcc 3.4.2, 3.4.4, 4.0.3, 4.0.3, 4.1.2, 4.3.3 * Globus C libraries: globus_gram_client, globus_ftp_client and globus_gass_copy * Globus JAVA development libraries * J2SE version 1.5.0+ * GNU Make * Sudo command (only required for multiple-user mode) * Berkeley Database library version 4.4.20 (only required to compile the accounting module) ===== Platform Notes ===== GridWay has been run on the following platforms: ==== Fedora Core ==== Problems have been reported on Fedora Core platforms when using 32 bit JSDK binaries on AMD64 architectures. ==== Debian / Ubuntu Testing ==== No known issues. ==== Mac OS X ==== No known issues. Tested on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). ==== Solaris 10 ==== No known issues. ==== Other Linux/UNIX flavors ==== GridWay should run smoothly on any linux based distribution and it is also likely to work on any unix based operating system, although it just have been tested in the aforementioned platforms. ===== Installing GridWay ===== You can install GridWay in two different ways: - //Single-user installation//. GridWay will be installed configured and executed by each user. In this case, neither the installation nor the configuration require priveledge access to the system. This installation mode will be useful if you want to set up a personal queue, or for testing purposes. - //Multiple-user installation//. GridWay will be installed, and configured by the system manager. Regular users are able to submit, control and monitor their jobs from a front-end (GridWay server host) or from client hosts. This installation mode is recommended for production use. Next sections describe in detail the installation process for these two cases. ==== Single-User Mode Installation ==== In this scenario, GridWay is installed by each end-user in his client host. Login as your user account and follow these steps: * 1. Download the distribution file to the installation directory, for example your ''$HOME'' directory * 2. Unpack the distribution file and change to the ''gw5'' directory:$ tar xzf gw5.tgz $ cd gw5 * 3. Set up Globus development environment:$ source $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-devel-env.shor$ . $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-devel-env.cshdepending on the shell you are using. * 4. Run configure to set up GridWay installation. Possible options for configure are: **Table 1. Configure Options.** ^ Option ^ Description ^ | ''--prefix'' | Sets final GridWay installation dir. Defaults to /usr/local/gw. | | ''--with-flavor=flavor'' | The configure script will try to detect the flavor (eg. gcc32dbg) of the Globus toolkit installed in your system. However, if the configure script is not able to detect it, specify it with this option. | | ''--disable-drmaa'' | Don't build drmaa support. Default is enabled. | | ''--enable-drmaa-ruby'' | Build ruby drmaa support. Default is disabled. | | ''--enable-nordugrid'' | Build support for nordugrid. Default is disabled. | | ''--enable-ldap'' | Build ldap support. Default is disabled. | | ''--disable-prews'' | Don't build pre-web-services support. Default is enabled. | | ''--disable-ws'' | Don't build web-services support. Default is enabled. | | ''--enable-globus-scheme'' | Adds gridway subdirectories to etc and var. Default is disabled. | | ''--enable-jsdl'' | Does compile jsdl support. Default is enabled. Disabled for GT builds. | | ''--disable-gridftp'' | Does not compile gridftp mad. Default is enabled. | | ''--with-db=path_to_db'' | Specify the Berkeley Database path to build accounting support. | | ''--with-doc'' | Install GridWay documentation | | ''--with-tests'' | Install tests | * If you want to install GridWay inside ''$GLOBUS_LOCATION'' you can use the option ''--enable-globus-scheme'' so GridWay specific ''var'', ''etc'' and ''test'' files are relocated to ''var/gridway'', ''etc/gridway'' and ''test/gridway'' respectively. This new directory scheme lets globus and GridWay share the same root directory without interfering each other.The next line will configure GridWay to include documentation and accounting $ ./configure --with-doc --with-db=/usr/local/db * 5. Run make: $ make * 6. Run make install:$ make install * 7. Once installed, you should have the following directory tree in your GridWay location directory: $GW_LOCATION/ | +--- bin/ executables | +--- etc/ gwd.conf and job_template.default configuration files | +--- share/ include examples and [Optionally] documentation | +--- include/ header files | +--- lib/ compiled libraries | +--- libexec/ wrapper and monitor scripts | +--- test/ test suite [Optional] | +--- var/ lock, port and log files | +--- xml_schema/ schema for xml output validation ==== Multiple-User Mode Installation ==== In this scenario, the installation of GridWay is performed by the system manager and the users are able to submit, control and monitor their jobs from a front-end (GridWay server host) or from client hosts, which may not require a GridWay/Globus installation. This means that there is one GridWay installation for each organization that provides support for multiple intra-organization users. ^ Important ^ | The instructions here described assumes that you are going to install GridWay in its own directory ($GW_LOCATION, e.g. "/usr/local/gw"). Also it is assumed that the installation, configuration and service execution will be performed by an special account ("gwadmin").GridWay can be also installed within the Globus Toolkit tree. To do this you have to use the flag "--enable-globus-scheme" when calling configure script and set the prefix to "$GLOBUS_LOCATION". In this case, the "gwadmin" user will be the user account that performed the Globus Toolkit installation.When you install it this way you also have to note that "$GW_LOCATION/var" and "$GW_LOCATION/etc" directories will be "$GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/gridway" and "$GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/gridway". | ^ Important ^ | Note that GridWay daemon SHOULD NOT be run as root. Only part of the installation will require privileged access. | Login as root account and follow the next steps: * 1. All of the GridWay users must be members of the same UNIX group, "". We recommend to create a new group (call "gwusers", for example), and assure that all GridWay user accounts are members of this new group. * 2. The GridWay administrator account, "", can be an existing administrative login or a new login. We recommend creating a new account for the GridWay administration user (call "gwadmin", for example). This account will own all of the files in the GridWay installation, all of the daemons in the GridWay execution and it can be used to configure GridWay once it is installed. Primary group of "" should be "".\\ DO NOT use root account for the GridWay administrator account. * 3. Download the distribution file to the installation directory, for example your "/usr/local" directory * 4. Unpack the distribution file and change ownership:# tar xzf gw5.tgz # chown -R : # chmod 755 Become GridWay administrator user, and change to "gw5" directory:# su gwadmin $ cd gw5 * 5. Set up Globus development environment:$ source $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-devel-env.shor$ . $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-devel-env.cshdepending on the shell you are using. * 6. Run configure to set up GridWay installation. Check above for possible options or just type **configure --help**. * 7. Run make:$ make * 8. Run make install:$ make install * 9. Once installed, you should have the following directory tree in your GridWay location directory: $GW_LOCATION/ | +--- bin/ executables | +--- etc/ gwd.conf and job_template.default configuration files | +--- share/ Include examples and [Optionally] documentation | +--- include/ header files | +--- lib/ compiled libraries | +--- libexec/ wrapper and monitor scripts | +--- test/ test suite [Optional] | +--- var/ lock, port and log files | +--- xml_schema/ schema for xml output validation * 10. The "sudoers" file of the **sudo** command should include the following... # User alias specification Runas_Alias GW_USERS = % # GridWay entries gwadmin ALL=(GW_USERS) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/gw/bin/gw_em_mad_prews * gwadmin ALL=(GW_USERS) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/gw/bin/gw_em_mad_ws * gwadmin ALL=(GW_USERS) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/gw/bin/gw_tm_mad_ftp * gwadmin ALL=(GW_USERS) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/gw/bin/gw_tm_mad_dummy * Usually **sudo** clears all environment variables for security reasons. However MADs need the **GW_LOCATION** and **GLOBUS_LOCATION** (and **GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE** if existing) variables to be set. To preserve those variables in the MAD environment, add the following line to your "sudoers" file:Defaults>GW_USERS env_keep="GW_LOCATION GLOBUS_LOCATION GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE"The following line //shouldn't// be in the sudoers file, otherwise gridway could not use sudo as it will ask for a tty:Defaults requirettyPlease refer to the **sudo** manual page for more information.Additionally you can configure your drivers environment by using the "gwrc" interface (see Section “MAD Environment Configuration”).To test the **sudo** command configuration try to execute a MAD as a user in the "" group, for example:$ sudo -u /usr/local/gw/bin/gw_em_mad_prewsFollowing previous steps, the end-users must login to the GridWay server host to be able to execute GridWay commands and use the DRMAA libraries. Additionally, client hosts, that are not required to have GridWay/Globus installed, could be deployed to remotely interface to the GridWay server host. In such a case, user accounts and home directories must be shared between the GridWay server and the client hosts, via for example NIS and NFS; and "" directory should be readable on all client hosts. The "" directory may be available via for example NFS by exporting "" from GridWay server, creating "" directory in the client hosts, changing its ownership to ":" and mounting the "" directory exported by the GridWay server on the "" of the client hosts. Following those steps, a user logged in a client hosts is able to interface to the GridWay daemon in the GridWay server host. However, the **grid-proxy-init** globus command must be executed in the server host in order to create a proxy by, for example, executing $ ssh grid-proxy-init .
