Adding a Compute Node

You can add a new OAR compute node which was instantiated from UForge but not configured as part of the initial deployment.

  1. Make a snapshot of the UForge Server (to be able to come back to the state without the additional OAR compute node).

  2. Initial setup: oar-server and oarnode1 to oarnodeN already configured. Initialise two variables as follows:

    • OARNODEX=oarnodeX. Replace X in oarnodeX with the number of the new node to be added
    • IPoarnodeX=10.0.0.123. Replace 10.0.0.123 with the local IP address of the new node to be added

Note

The following commands are run on the first existing oarnode, for example oarnode1 until stated otherwise.

  1. Copy over /etc/hosts from oarnode1 to oarnodeX with modification.
  2. Get first local network interface (eth0).
ITF=`cat /proc/net/dev | grep : | cut -d ':' -f 1|grep -v lo | tr -d ' '| head -1`
  1. Get IP address associated with this interface.
IP=`/sbin/ip -o addr show $ITF 2>/dev/null| grep 'inet ' | awk '{print \$4}' |
sed -e 's?/.*??'`
  1. Modify and copy /etc/hosts
sed -e "s/\<oarnode1\>/$oarnodeX/g" /etc/hosts | awk -v ip=$IP -v name=oarnode1 '{print}END{printf "%s %s\n",ip,name}' | ssh $IPoarnodeX dd of=/etc/hosts
  1. Copy over uforge.conf file and others.
rsync -a /etc/UShareSoft/uforge/uforge.conf $IPoarnodeX:/etc/UShareSoft/uforge/
rsync /etc/oar/oar.conf $IPoarnodeX:/etc/oar/
rsync /etc/ssh/sshd_config $IPoarnodeX:/etc/ssh
rsync -a ~oar/.ssh $IPoarnodeX:~oar
  1. Run the following commands on all oarnode1 .. oarnodeN and oar-server but not oarnodeX. This adds new node in all machines /etc/hosts.
awk -v newoar="$oarnodeX" -v newip="$IPoarnodeX" 'BEGIN{d=1}/\<{print newoar\>/ {d=0}{print}END{if(d==1){print newip " " newoar}}' /etc/hosts > /tmp/hosts.NEW
diff -q /tmp/hosts.NEW /etc/hosts >/dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
rsync -a /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.SVG-`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`
cp /tmp/hosts.NEW /etc/hosts
rm -f /tmp/hosts.NEW
fi
  1. Edit /etc/UShareSoft/uforge/uforge.conf on all oarnode1 .. oarnodeN, oar-server and oarnodeX. Add the oarnodeX IP at the end of UFORGE_PROXY_IGNORED variable.
UFORGE_PROXY_IGNORED=X.X.X.X,Y.Y.Y.Y,...,<IPoarnodeX>
  1. Run the following commands on oarnodeX
chmod 666 /etc/oar/oar.conf
/opt/UShareSoft/uforge/conf/oar_user_setup.sh
cp /opt/UShareSoft/uforge/tmpl/nfs.tmpl /etc/sysconfig/nfs
cp /opt/UShareSoft/uforge/tmpl/mountisos_init /etc/init.d/mountisos; chkconfig
--add mountisos
for s in ntpd tomcat mysql httpd oar-server openstack-glance-api
openstack-glance-registry oas oas-deploy; do service $s stop; chkconfig --levels
0123456 $s off ; done >/dev/null 2>&1
ntpdate pool.ntp.org ; service ntpd start
for s in oar-node ntpd postfix mountisos; do chkconfig --levels 2345 $s on; done
service ntpd stop ; ntpdate pool.ntp.org ; chkconfig ntpd on ; service ntpd
start
service mountisos start
service oar-node start
service sshd restart
/opt/UShareSoft/uforge/tools/update_scripts/uforge_update.sh -f >/dev/null 2>&1
  1. Run the following commands on oar-server to create new resources on oarnodeX from existing oarnode1 resources. In the following command, replace oarnodeX with the name of the new oar node.
/usr/bin/oarnodes | /bin/awk '/network_address=oarnode1/
{s=$0;gsub(".*nature=","",s);gsub(",.*","",s);printf "/usr/sbin/oarnodesetting
-a -h oarnodeX -p cpuset=0,nature=%s\n",s}' | sh

You can also use a remote disk space of the compute node to generate multiple machine images in parallel by mounting the /space directory with a NAS or SAN.

Removing a Node

In order to remove a node, run the following command on the UForge server:

/usr/bin/oarnodes | /bin/awk "/resource_id/ {n=\$NF} /network_address=$
{REMOVENODE}/ {printf \"/usr/sbin/oarnodesetting -s Dead -r %s ; sleep 2;
/usr/sbin/oarremoveresource %s\n\",n,n}" | sh
