starcluster

new starcluster release broke setting up of nfs


I just upgraded starcluster to use modern machines and I now get the following traceback. Previous versions work fine with identical configs. What changes need to made to the config for it to work? It looks like it is exporting a file that does not exist on modern ubuntu servers. (I asked this question on github and no one has had a solution)

Solution

  • a number of packages have to be changed to get current ubuntu to work with current starcluster.

    Need to create a new ami using the following steps:

    log in to an ubuntu ami and run the following commands:

    1. apt-get update
    2. apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap
    3. sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server /etc/init.d/nfs
    4. apt-get install python-scipy python-numpy
    5. ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job /etc/init.d/portmap
    6. ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job /etc/init.d/portmap-wait
    7. wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47200624/respin/ge2011.11.tar.gz
    8. tar xvf ge2011.11.tar.gz
    9. mv ge2011.11 /opt/sge6-fresh
