<P>
One of the challenges in writing this walk-thru is making it applicable across apparently small variations in distributions. For example, between RHEL and CentOS, additional tools may be packaged (like newt-devel). As a result, you may find you are able to complete this walk-thru on an OS other than RHEL6.3: please leave a comment and include your platform to alert future visitors if this is the case.</P>

- A newly installed RHEL 6.3 x86_64 machine connected to the internet. This walk-thru assumes the hostname:
rhel63-master. - EPEL Repository: this is a convenient source for git.
NOTE the EPEL 5 repository is used because it includes quilt. - Have the system registered with Redhat Network.
- NOTE It is suggested that you have at least 1GB of memory on the machine you are using for the build.
- NOTE Verify that selinux is disabled.

Lustre 2.1 servers require a patched and compiled kernel. A patched and compiled Lustre server kernel is available form Whamcloud. A separate page is available to walk thru setting up Lustre with these pre-built RPMs. This document is for those who wish to build their Lustre system from source. |
