|
49 |
These programs are supplied as part of most Linux distributions, so |
50 |
usually they can be installed via the standard package manager. Also |
51 |
many of them will already be installed on a standard machine. On |
52 |
Debian/Ubuntu, you can use this command line to install all required |
53 |
packages, except for DRBD and Xen:: |
54 |
|
55 |
$ apt-get install lvm2 ssh bridge-utils iproute iputils-arping \ |
56 |
ndisc6 python python-pyopenssl openssl \ |
57 |
python-pyparsing python-simplejson \ |
58 |
python-pyinotify python-pycurl socat \ |
59 |
python-elementtree qemu |
60 |
|
61 |
If you want to also enable the `htools` components, which is recommended |
62 |
on bigger deployments (they give you automatic instance placement, |
63 |
cluster balancing, etc.), then you need to have a Haskell compiler |
64 |
installed. More specifically: |
65 |
|
66 |
- `GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/>`_ version 6.12 or higher |
67 |
- or even better, `The Haskell Platform |
68 |
<http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/>`_ which gives you a simple way |
69 |
to bootstrap Haskell |
70 |
- `json <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/json>`_, a JSON library |
71 |
- `network <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/network>`_, a basic |
72 |
network library |
73 |
- `parallel <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/parallel>`_, a parallel |
74 |
programming library (note: tested with up to version 3.x) |
75 |
- `curl <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/curl>`_, bindings for the |
76 |
curl library, only needed if you want these tools to connect to remote |
77 |
clusters (as opposed to the local one) |
78 |
|
79 |
All of these are also available as package in Debian/Ubuntu:: |
80 |
|
81 |
$ apt-get install ghc6 libghc6-json-dev libghc6-network-dev \ |
82 |
libghc6-parallel-dev libghc6-curl-dev |
83 |
|
84 |
Note that more recent version have switched to GHC 7.x and the packages |
85 |
were renamed:: |
86 |
|
87 |
$ apt-get install ghc libghc-json-dev libghc-network-dev \ |
88 |
libghc-parallel-dev libghc-curl-dev |
89 |
|
90 |
The compilation of the htools components is automatically enabled when |
91 |
the compiler and the requisite libraries are found. You can use the |
92 |
``--enable-htools`` configure flag to force the selection (at which |
93 |
point ``./configure`` will fail if it doesn't find the prerequisites). |
94 |
|
95 |
If you want to build from source, please see doc/devnotes.rst for more |
96 |
dependencies. |

.. _socat-note: |
99 |
.. note:: |
100 |
Ganeti's import/export functionality uses ``socat`` with OpenSSL for |
101 |
transferring data between nodes. By default, OpenSSL 0.9.8 and above |
102 |
employ transparent compression of all data using zlib if supported by |
103 |
both sides of a connection. In cases where a lot of data is |
104 |
transferred, this can lead to an increased CPU usage. Additionally, |
105 |
Ganeti already compresses all data using ``gzip`` where it makes sense |
106 |
(for inter-cluster instance moves). |
107 |
|
108 |
To remedey this situation, patches implementing a new ``socat`` option |
109 |
for disabling OpenSSL compression have been contributed and will |
110 |
likely be included in the next feature release. Until then, users or |
111 |
distributions need to apply the patches on their own. |
112 |
|
113 |
Ganeti will use the option if it's detected by the ``configure`` |
114 |
script; auto-detection can be disabled by explicitely passing |
115 |
``--enable-socat-compress`` (use the option to disable compression) or |
116 |
``--disable-socat-compress`` (don't use the option). |
117 |
|
118 |
The patches and more information can be found on |
119 |
http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/contrib/socat-opensslcompress.html. |

122 |
Installation of the software |
123 |
---------------------------- |
124 |
|
125 |
To install, simply run the following command:: |
126 |
|
127 |
./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc && \ |
128 |
make && \ |
129 |
make install |
130 |
|
131 |
This will install the software under ``/usr/local``. You then need to |
132 |
copy ``doc/examples/ganeti.initd`` to ``/etc/init.d/ganeti`` and |
133 |
integrate it into your boot sequence (``chkconfig``, ``update-rc.d``, |
134 |
etc.). |
135 |
|
136 |
|
137 |
Cluster initialisation |
138 |
---------------------- |
139 |
|
140 |
Before initialising the cluster, on each node you need to create the |
141 |
following directories: |
142 |
|
143 |
- ``/etc/ganeti`` |
144 |
- ``/var/lib/ganeti`` |
145 |
- ``/var/log/ganeti`` |
146 |
- ``/srv/ganeti`` |
147 |
- ``/srv/ganeti/os`` |
148 |
- ``/srv/ganeti/export`` |
149 |
|
150 |
After this, use ``gnt-cluster init``. |
