Background

SLAC install has some differences

  • all files kept in AFS
  • centralised configuration
  • mount of disk partition for data
  • move of mysql database storage to separate partition
  • use of apache redirect for calls

AFS

  • symlinked /opt/perfsonar to /afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/perfSONAR-PS/dist/
  • config files kept in /afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/perfSONAR-PS/etc/
    • each file is named to appropriate service
  • customisations on init.d files to reflect above
    • install file located at /afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/perfSONAR-PS/etc/init.d/
    • will delete services from install and put in new ones with pointers to new config files
    • add's chkconfig stuff

Partitions

  • largest disk partition mounted at /var/lib/perfsonar for data
  • mysql
    • mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/perfsonar/
    • sudo ln -sf /var/lib/perfsonar/mysql/ mysql

Database

moved to /var/lib/perfsonar/mysql

$ sudo cp -rpv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/perfsonar/
/etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/perfsonar/mysql
socket=/var/lib/perfsonar/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
tmpdir=/tmp/

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks;
# to do so, uncomment this line:
# symbolic-links=0

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

Initialise the DB

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 psnr-bw01 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 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 mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
