CentOS 7 is centrally supported at SLAC for the following platforms:

  • VMware virtual machine
  • OpenStack virtual machine
  • Bare metal server
  • Desktop workstation - under development.  If you wish to help testing, email unix-admin@slac.stanford.edu

Although RHEL 7 is also available if required by your application for support, CentOS 7 is preferred and recommended instead.

Step-by-step guide

These are the steps to install and configure CentOS 7 at SLAC for a headless bare metal server, or virtual machine in VMware or OpenStack:

  • Install CentOS 7 using either the Minimal or the DVD ISO available here:
    http://yum.slac.stanford.edu/iso/centos/7/

  • Install Chef by running this command as root:
    curl http://yum.slac.stanford.edu/go-chef

  • Modify this file:
    /etc/security/access.netgroup.conf

    Add a line that looks like this (replace 'ksa' with your username):
    + : ksa : ALL

  •  Create a sudoers entry for yourself in this directory.  Replace 'ksa' with your username:
    cat > /etc/sudoers.d/user-ksa << EOF
    ksa   ALL=ALL
    EOF
