Installation via RPM packages

ParaStation5 Administrator's Guide

man

contains the manual pages describing the ParaStation daemons, utilities and configuration files after
installing the documentation package. The necessary steps are described in Section 3.4, “Installing
the documentation”.

In order to enable the users to access these pages using the man(1) command, please consult the
corresponding documentation 

2

.

mpi2, mpi2-intel, mpi2-pgi, mpi2-psc

contains  an  adapted  version  of  MPIch2  after  installing  one  of  the  various 

psmpi2

  RPM  files.  The

necessary steps are described in Section 3.5, “Installing MPI”.

Especially the sub-directories 

mpich/bin

, 

mpich-intel/bin

, etc, contain all the commands to run

(mpirun) and compile (mpicc, mpif90, ...) parallel tasks.

All  ParaStation5  specific  kernel  modules  are  located  within  the  directory 

/lib/modules/

kernel release/kernel/drivers/net/ps4

.

3.3. Installation via RPM packages

The recommended way to install ParaStation5 is the installation of packages using the rpm command. This
is the preferred method on all SuSE or Red Hat based systems.

Getting the ParaStation5 RPM packages

Packages containing the different parts of the ParaStation5 system can be obtained from the download
section of the ParaStation homepage.

At  least  two  packages  are  needed,  one  containing  the  management  part,  the  other  one  providing  the
communication  part  of  the  ParaStation5  system.  Beside  this  core  system,  packages  supplying  MPIch
for GNU, Intel, Portland Group and Pathscale compilers are available. A documentation package is also
obtainable.

The full names of the RPM files follow a simple structure:

  name-x.y.z-n.arch.rpm

where 

name

 denotes the name and thus the content of the packet, 

x.y.z

 describes the version number,

n

 the build number and 

arch

 is the architecture, i.e. one of 

i586

, 

ia64

, 

x86_64

, 

ppc

 or 

noarch

. The

latter is used e.g. for the documentation packet.

The package called 

psmgmt

 holds the management part of ParaStation. This package is required for any

installation of the ParaStation5 system, independent of the underlying communication platform.

The communication libraries and modules for ParaStation5 come with the 

pscom

 package. As explained,

all filenames are followed by an individual version number, the build date and the architecture.

The  versions  available  on  the  ParaStation  homepage  at  a  time  are  tested  to  work  properly  together.
It's recommended to install always the corresponding package versions. If only a part of the installation
should  be  updated  (i.e.  only  the  management  part  while  keeping  the  communication  part  untouched)
the corresponding release notes should be consulted in order to verify that the intended combination is
supported.

The  release  notes  of  the  different  packages  will  either  be  found  within  the  installation  directory 

/opt/

parastation

 or on the download section of the ParaStation homepage.

2

 Usually this is either done by modifying the 

MANPATH

 environment variable or by editing the manpath(1) configuration file, which

is 

/etc/manpath.config

 by default.
