Fedora8Build
Stuff to do in order to make a fresh Fedora 8 testbed ready for both the 32 bit and 64 bit (x86_64) versions
make ext2 fs on /dev/hda4 and then mount it.
I recommend putting all working files on this partition so that they won't appear in the final image
mount /dev/hda4 /z
Copy the testbed source to /z/testbed somehow.
export testbed_src=/z/testbed
export etc_patches=${testbed_src}/doc/updating-RHL/Fedora8-etc-patches
export tz=MST7MDT
Mount /share to make some things easier.
cd / mkdir -p "/share" mount -o hard,intr,udp "fs:/share" "/share"
Disable kudzu at boot-time.
# XXX no need if the kudzu rpms are removed #/sbin/chkconfig kudzu off
Kill off CUPS.
/sbin/chkconfig cups off
Enable ssh 1
patch /etc/ssh/sshd_config < $etc_patches/sshd_config.patch
Install an appropriate /etc/inittab:
- Run a getty in ttyS0
- Do not run getty's for most virtual consoles (tty1, ...)
patch /etc/inittab < $etc_patches/inittab.patch
Enable all wheel members to `sudo'.
patch /etc/sudoers < $etc_patches/sudoers.patch
Log ssh' logins to users.emulab.net'.
patch /etc/rsyslog.conf < $etc_patches/rsyslog.conf.patch
/etc/localtime, Copy the correct file over from /usr/share/zoneinfo
# XXX: should be necessary if correct timezone was selected at install time
#rm -f /etc/localtime
#install -o root -g root -m 644 "/usr/share/zoneinfo/${tz}" /etc/localtime
Make the default locale "C"
patch /etc/sysconfig/i18n < $etc_patches/sysconfig-i18n.patch
Add sbin to path for all users not just root
patch /etc/profile < $etc_patches/profile.patch patch /etc/csh.login < $etc_patches/csh.login.patch
Remove 000-delay.cron from cron.daily//weekly/monthly
these files will cause problems for "prepare".
rm /etc/cron.daily/000-delay.cron /etc/cron.weekly/000-delay.cron \ /etc/cron.monthly/000-delay.cron
Disable selinux
patch /etc/selinux/config < $etc_patches/selinux-config.patch
Remove ccache.
It will cause gcc to hang since it tries to store the contents of the cache in the home directory (.cccahe). Which doesn't work over nfs on emulab for some reason.
rpm -e ccache
Disable the firewall.
This will cause problems with some of emulab client software
chkconfig iptables off
Fix up device drivers
disable udev-post, as it adds persistent udev rules, and as a result eth devices will get high-numbered names like eth8+
chkconfig udev-post
Now go though /etc/udev/70-persistent-cd.rules and /etc/udev/70-persistent-net.rules and remove any devices settings.
Also fix up /etc/modprobe.conf, must remove eth* aliases, also need to add scci_hostadapter aliases, best to just use the one in $etc_patches:
cp etc_patches/modprobe.conf /etc
Add wireless cards to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
patch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist < $etc_patches/blacklist.patch
For the 64 bit image enable listing the arch when using "rpm -qa"
echo '%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}' > /etc/rpm/macros
Reinstall grub
For some reason the f8 installer may hardcoded the bios boot drive address, which may cause problems with the wireless nodes that boot off a USB memory stick.
sudo grub grub> find /boot/grub/grub.conf grub> root (hd0,1) grub> setup (hd0,1) grub> quit
Fix up grub.conf
Change the terminal line to:
terminal --dumb --timeout=0 serial console
Install tcsh
Only bash is installed by default, however the c shell is needed by the program agent.
yum install tcsh
Install Keys
emulab-keys.tar.gz created by running
sh ${testbed_src}/doc/updating-RHL/tar-keys
on an exiting node
Note: root password will get installed by prepare
Install "pubsub"
download from cvs
Install Boost.
XXX no need, now standard rpm
Install the Emulab client stuff.
mkdir testbed-obj ../testbed/configure --with-TBDEFS=../testbed/defs-default make client make client-install
Add/remove rpms.
Done manually, compare your RPM list to Fedora8-rpm-list.txt using something like:
cut -f1 < Fedora8-rpm-list.txt | uniq > Fedora8-rpm-names.txt
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}\n' | sort -u > mine.txt
comm Fedora8-rpm-names.txt mine.txt
For the 64 bit image, also remove most of the 32 bit libraries he file Fedora8-rpm-list.txt contains the arch as the third column grep for "i.86" to figure out which 32 bit libraries where kept. You may also find Fedora8-rpm-list-install.txt usefull. It is the rpm list after the initial install for the 32 bit Fedora image.
NOTE: used 'rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}\t%{VERSION}\t%{ARCH}\n' | sort' to create Fedora8-rpm-list.txt
ALSO NOTE: The set of packages on the 32 bit and 64 bit Fedora are the same except for a few extra 32 bit libraries on the 64 bit image, thus the package list Fedora8-rpm-list.txt is good to compare against for both versions.
Fine tune services
Enable the following and only the following services using "sudo ntsysv"
[*] acpid [*] anacron [ ] atd [ ] autofs [ ] avahi-daemon [ ] bgpd [ ] cpuspeed [*] crond [ ] cups [ ] gated [ ] gpm [ ] ip6tables [ ] iptables [*] irqbalance [ ] lm_sensors [ ] mdmonitor [*] messagebus [ ] netconsole [*] netfs [ ] netplugd [*] network [ ] nfs [*] nfslock [*] ntpd [ ] ospf6d [ ] ospfd [ ] psacct [ ] racoon [ ] rdisc [ ] restorecond [ ] ripd [ ] ripngd [*] rpcbind [ ] rpcgssd [*] rpcidmapd [ ] rpcsvcgssd [*] rsyslog [ ] saslauthd [*] sendmail [ ] smartd [*] sshd [ ] udev-post [ ] xfs [ ] zebra
Optional: Install jove from source:
Update to latest version. Note this may also update the kernel.
yum update
NOW REBOOT TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS
Install rude/crude.
cd "${local_build_root}"
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rude/rude-0.70.tar.gz
tar zxf rude-0.70.tar.gz
cd rude
./configure
gmake
gmake install
Install "gated"
#XXX --- compile w/o debugging?
#cd "${local_build_root}"
## wget http://ftp.rge.com/pub/networking/gated/gated-3-6.tar.gz
#wget http://www.funet.fi/pub/unix/tcpip/gated/gated-3-6.tar.gz
#tar zxf gated-3-6.tar.gz
#cd gated-public-3_6
#./configure
#gmake depend
#gmake
#gmake install
# Installs just `/usr/local/sbin/gated'.
Version built from source doesn't work, install RHL7.3 RPM instead
rpm -i /share/redhat/7.3/RPMS/gated-3.6-14.i386.rpm
Install kernel
/share/fedora/F8/src on ops.emulab.net
When all done testing create a final image.
Prep the image
yum clean all find /var/cache/man -type f | xargs rm
NOTE prepare now run automataically
Create an image via the web interface.
