I - License II - Compiling III - Install IV - Database configuration V - Enabling Lustre changelogs VI - RobinHood config file VII - First run I - License =========== Copyright (C) 2009 CEA/DAM This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the CeCILL-C License. The fact that you are presently reading this means that you have had knowledge of the CeCILL-C license (http://www.cecill.info) and that you accept its terms. II - Compiling ============== 2.1 - From source tarball ------------------------- It is advised to build RobinHood on your target system, to ensure the best compatibility with your Lustre and MySQL versions. Make sure you have the following products installed on your machine: * bison * flex * mysql-devel * liblustreapi (/usr/include/liblustreapi.h and /usr/lib/liblustreapi.a) It is usually provided by lustre RPM. Unzip and untar the source distribution: > tar zxvf robinhood-2.2.0.tar.gz > cd robinhood-2.2.0 Run the 'configure' script with the following options: * For Lustre-HSM: --with-purpose=LUSTRE_HSM * --prefix=<path> to set the prefix of installation path (default is /usr). E.g.: > ./configure --with-purpose=LUSTRE_HSM Then, build the RPM: > make rpm A ready-to-install RPM is generated in the 'rpms/RPMS/<arch>' directory. 2.2 - From git repository ------------------------- # make sure flex, bison, libtool, mysql-devel are installed: # E.g. yum install flex yum install bison yum install libtool yum install mysql-devel # retrieve robinhood sources git clone git://robinhood.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/robinhood/robinhood cd robinhood sh autogen.sh Then refer to section 2.1 for next compilation steps. III - Install ============= For installing robinhood on your target system, install the previously generated RPM: > rpm -ivh rpms/RPMS/x86_64/robinhood.lustre_hsm-2.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm This installs: * robinhood binaries (for Lustre-HSM: 'rbh-hsm' and 'rbh-hsm-report') * configuration helper script (rbh-config) * configuration templates * The /etc/init.d/robinhood-hsm script (for RobinHood service management) This also creates the robinhood service (chkconfig --add). Note: on SLES systems, the default dependency for init scheduling is on "mysql" service. However, in many cases, it should be too early for starting robinhood daemon, especially if the filesystem it manages is not yet mounted. In such case, you have to modify the following lines in "scripts/robinhood.init.sles.in" before you run "./configure": # Required-Start: <your filesystem service> IV - Database Configuration =========================== MySQL ----- Robinhood needs a MySQL database for storing information about files. This database can run on a different node from Robinhood daemon. * Install MySQL server on the machine (mysql-server and mysql packages). * Start the DB engine: service mysqld start * Run the configuration helper script as root on the database host: 1) check database requirement: > rbh-config precheck_db 2) create robinhood's database: > rbh-config create_db * Write the DB password to a file with read access for root only (600) e.g. to /etc/robinhood.d/.dbpassword Note: initially, the database schema is empty. Robinhood will create it the first time it is launched. SQLite ------ You can use SQLite instead of MySQL for testing, or small filesystems. For this, you need to compile robinhood with the following option: --with-db=SQLITE To setup database access, you just need to give a path where robinhood will store its sqlite database (in-file), in the ListManager::SQLite block of the configuration file: ListManager { SQLite { db_file = "/var/robinhood/robinhood_sqlite_db" ; } } V - Enabling Lustre changelogs ============================== For Lustre-HSM purpose, you must register robinhood as a MDT changelog consummer. * Run the configuration helper script on Lustre MDT: > rbh-config enable_chglogs This registers a changelog consummer and activate required changelog records. Note: by default, the script checks for a 'cl1' consummer. If you need to register several changelog consummers on your file system, refer to lustre documentation. VI - Configuration file ======================= You can use the '--template' option to generate a documented configuration file template: > rbh-hsm --template=<template_file> Note: by default, "service robinhood-hsm start" looks for configuration files in "/etc/robinhood.d/hsm". For more details, refer to Robinhood Admin Guide (in the doc/admin_guide directory). VII - First run =============== Even if your filesystem is empty, you need to perform an initial scan in order to initialize robinhood database. This prevents from having entries in filesystem that it wouldn't know about. rbh-hsm --scan --once
