HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.1.1 for Linux Installation Guide (May 2006)

Appendix A: Install the SLES9 Operating System and Kernel 41
• Clustered File System requires that the following packages be
installed. (The packages are included in the “default” server
installation.)
– glibc 2.3.2 or higher
– net-snmp 5.0.8 or higher
– openssl 0.9.7a or higher
– e2fsprogs 1.32 or higher
– bind-utils 9.2.2 or higher
• If you will be building the kernel from source, be sure to install the gcc
compiler. (If you want to install the FS Option, you will need to build
the kernel from source. Otherwise, you can use the binary kernel.)
• If you will be installing FS Option, remove the yast2-nfs-server RPM if
it has been installed. This software conflicts with the FS Option
configuration scheme.
• If you will be installing FS Option, increase the number of NFS server
threads to improve performance. We recommend that you use 8-16 as
a starting range (the default is four). To do this in yast, select system >
Etc/sysconfig editor > Network > Filesystems > Nfs Server >
USE_KERNEL_NFSD_NUMBER and then specify the number that you
want to use.
2. Modify System Files
You may need to modify the following files on each server:
• /etc/hosts file. SuSE Linux places both localhost and the server name
on the 127.0.0.1 entry in the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost servername
Clustered File System requires that the server name appear on a
separate line with its real IP address, as in the following example. Be
sure to move the server name to its own line in the /etc/hosts file on
each server. We recommend that you specify the fully qualified name.
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.1.1.100 servername
