Implementation Notes

Base Class

LUX[5/64] are base classes. The appliances are built using iso2class and hvm2pv utils.

Class Volumes

The boot volumes are based on 32/64-bit CentOS 5.0. Below is a list of the software packages installed on LUX5 and LUX64.

Installed Packages.

Building Procedure

• download an iso image of the first CentOS50 CD CentOS-5.0-[i386/x86_64]-bin-1of6.iso to the impex volume of a grid
• use iso2class to install from this iso image to a 1 GB volume
  • During the category/task selection, select server, and choose the "Customize now" option at the bottom of screen. Then, deselect all packages.
• After the iso2class install is complete, modify the singleton boundary to add the external interface.
• start the singleton and log in through the internal interface using the root password. Configure the external interface
• yum clean all; rpm --rebuilddb
• use chkconfig to fix init scripts so that only the following are started: network, syslog, netfs, sshd, crond, local
• Do rpm -qa and compare the installed rpms with the list above. Install the missing rpms and remove the ones that are not present on the list.
• convert the singleton to a PV appliance using hvm2pv
• Install the appropriate domU kernel rpms
• Install prelink-0.3.9-2.1.*.rpm rpm. Do prelink -a. Remove the prelink rpm
• manage the singleton boot volume and within the filesystem of the mounted volume:
  • update /etc/logrotate.conf, /root/.bashrc, /root/.bash_profile, /appliance/appliance.sh, /etc/sysconfig/applogic_appliance, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, /etc/sysctl.conf, /etc/inittab, /etc/fstab, /etc/passwd*, /etc/shadow*, /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr_local_lib.conf by referring to LUX[5/64]
  • mkdir /var/log/appliance
  • initialize all log files in /var/log
  • Remove /lib/tls
  • initialize /etc/resolv.conf
  • rm -rf /usr/share/doc/*;  rm -rf /usr/share/man/*
  • remove all non-English locale data from /usr/lib/locale and /usr/share/locale
  • Cleanup /tmp, /var/lib/dhclient, /var/log/, /var/run/applogic/, /root/.bash_history
• within the application holding the singleton create a 120MB ext3 volume
• manage the singleton boot volume as src and the new ext3 volume as dst; use cpio to copy the /usr filesystem of src to dst
• manage the singleton boot volume and remove the /usr filesystem
• Shrink the boot volume to 100MB.
• add a LUX5 instance to an application; branch it and destroy LUX5.boot and LUX5.usr
• copy the singleton boot volume to LUX5.boot and the new ext3 volume to LUX5.usr
• resize LUX5.boot to 270MB and LUX5.usr to 205 MB
• rename the singleton to LUX5; edit its description and doc_url
• move the LUX5 singleton to a catalog
