Bright Cluster Manager makes it easy to perform an Add-On installation. This article shows you how.
Let's get started.
First, install the install-bright package from the DVD.
This software has dependencies on other packages, which can be installed from the Bright DVD or from the EPEL repository. I'm going to use the EPEL repository so I'll install it first.
Download and install the EPEL repository.
[root@centos6 ~]# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
[root@centos6 ~]# rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Next, install the install-bright package.
[root@centos6 ~]# yum install /mnt/dvd/addon/bright-installer-6.0-246_cm6.0.noarch.rpm
Now we're ready to run the install-bright command, which was installed when you installed the install-bright package.
Before you proceed, un-mount your DVD.
The install-bright command access your DVD as a block device (/dev/sr0 in this case).
[root@centos6 ~]# unount /mnt/dvd
[root@centos6 ~]# install-bright -d /dev/sr0
Validating installation source ..... [ OK ]
Creating local repository ..... [ OK ]
Install the follow pre-requisites
----------------------------------------
lynx
dialog
bind
nfs-utils
mysql-server
xorg-x11-server-Xorg
tcl
redhat-lsb
Install the dependencies reported by the install-command.
[root@centos6 ~]# yum install lynx dialog bind nfs-utils mysql-server xorg-x11-server-Xorg \
tcl redhat-lsb
Now that you've installed the dependencies, you're ready to run the install-bright command again. Note that we've specified the -o option, which overwrites the local repository created the first time we ran install-bright.
[root@centos6 ~]# install-bright -d /dev/sr0 -o
Validating installation source ..... [ OK ]
Creating local repository ..... [ OK ]
INFO/ERROR/WARNING:
--------------------
ERROR:
MySQL is not running. Please start the mysql server,
and set the mysql root password, if not already done.
--------------------
Okay, let's start the MySQL server.
[root@centos6 ~]# service mysqld start
Initializing MySQL database: Installing MySQL system tables...
OK
Filling help tables...
OK
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER!
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h centos6.zohallt.com password 'new-password'
Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.
See the Bright Admin Manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &
You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /usr/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
[ OK ]
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
Set the MySQL administrative password.
Make sure you remember what you set it to. You'll need to provide it in the next step.
[root@centos6 ~]# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'mypasswd'
[root@centos6 ~]# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h centos6.zohallt.com password 'mypasswd'
Run the install-bright command again.
[root@centos6 ~]# install-bright -d /dev/sr0 -o

Congratulations!
Bright Cluster Manager has been installed successfully,
and this host is now a Bright head node.
To be able to provision nodes, a software image must be created
using a base image of your choice, or using the base tar image
that is included on the Bright DVD. Please refer to the Administrator's
manual for instructions on how to use 'the cm-create-image' utility to
create custom software images.
Admin and User Manuals are available at the following
location:
http://support.brightcomputing.com/manuals

[root@centos6 ~]#
That's it. You can now log in and use your cluster.
Here are a couple of caveats:
You will need to log in with a new shell to be able to load modules.
You will next need to add an image, but that's covered in a separate How to.
