  • Basic installation of Debian Squeeze
  • edit /etc/networks/interfaces
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.21.254
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.21.1
  • set resolv.conf:
nameserver 137.43.116.19
nameserver 137.43.116.17
nameserver 137.43.105.22
domain ucd.ie
search ucd.ie
  • Install non-free linux firmware
    • Edit /etc/apt/sources.list including the lines:
deb http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
  • Install firmware-linux: 
    apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-linux


  • follow the guide to installing Clonezilla here. Essentially:
    • add repository key 
      wget -q http://drbl.sourceforge.net/GPG-KEY-DRBL -O- | apt-key add -
    • the line add to /etc/apt/sources.list: 
      deb http://drbl.sourceforge.net/drbl-core drbl stable
    • run: 
      apt-get update && apt-get install drbl && /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl4imp
    • accept default options to drbl4imp.
  • After Clonezilla has installed edit /etc/dhcpd3/dhcpd.conf, adding all entries for test nodes hcl07 and hcl03. Also ensure these nodes have been removed from the inplace heterogeneous.ucd.ie server so that they are only served by one machine.

Installing Ganglia Frontend

Install the packages gmetad and ganglia-webfrontend.

Configure the front end by appending to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, the following: 

Include /etc/ganglia-webfrontend/apache.conf

Configure gmetad by adding to the /etc/ganglia/gmetad.conf, the following line: 

data_source "HCL Cluster" hcl07

After all packages are configured execute: 

service apache2 restart
service gmetad restart

Pointing your browser to here should display the monitoring page for HCL Cluster. gmond must also be installed and configured on the cluster nodes.
