Installation of CentOS 7 1810 on cybele PC
Goal: Install centos 7 on cybele (new PC/new install).
quicklook needs (centos 7 + idl ).
Date: 2019/03
1. HARDWARE
ASUS TUF-Z390-Pro LGA 1151 ATX,
i7-9700K 3.6GHz (300 series) 95W
Corsair H60 2018 Radiator cooler.
32GB (2x16)DDR4 3200.
Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD, DVD.
2. DVD Install and update
Made usb boot device with centos7 1810 + rufus 3.4 in ISO image mode
Boot with USB in UEFI mode.
Install Development and Creative Workstation
partitions were:
sda1 /boot/efi 200mb
sda2 / 50GB (centos 7 root)
created local 'irtf' user.
- 1st boot
Stop & Turn off filewall:
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl disable firewalld
Turn off selinux:
vi /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled.
yum update
reboot
#to list groups: yum group list ids
yum groupinstall developer-workstation-environment development scientific php office-suite kde-desktop
yum install nano net-tools gnuplot gsl gsl-devel vnc vnc-server ImageMagick \
tk qt-devel rdist dump telnet expect expect-devel expectk hg mutt \
gtk2-devel MySQL-python python-matplotlib python-devel.x86_64 \
hplip samba ypbind rpcbind nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib smartmontools \
gtk3-devel
make droot, mroot
update root password
Only if created local user:
move irtf (local user) to /home2, as /home will be a automount
To get verbose booting:
plymouth-set-default-theme details; dracut -f
3. General IRTF setup
Setup Manual IP and disable network manager
yum -y install net-tools
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1
change:
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
to:
BOOTPROTO="none"
check for static setup:
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=128.171.110.147
PREFIX=25
GATEWAY=128.171.110.129
add NM_CONTROLLED=no
systemctl stop NetworkManager
systemctl disable NetworkManager
systemctl restart network
chkconfig network on
Setup NTP client (chrony)
yum install chrony
vi /etc/chrony.conf
comment out centos.pool servers, and add:
server duke.ifa.hawaii.edu iburst
server goblin.ifa.hawaii.edu iburst
pool ntproundtop.hawaii.edu iburst maxsources 3
server irtfgps2.ifa.hawaii.edu iburst
to insure chronyc was enabled:
systemctl status chronyd
to start and enable :
systemctl start chronyd
systemctl enable chronyd
chronyc can be used to show status:
chronyc sources # displayinfo about current sources
chronyc sourcestats # Display estimation info about current sources
chronyc tracking # display system time information
chronyc activity # show the NTP sources
Setup as NIS Client
vi /etc/yp.conf
vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
systemctl enable rpcbind ypbind
systemctl start rpcbind ypbind
Check:
/etc/hosts
/etc/yp.conf
/etc/resolv.conf - add all DNS servers.
/etc/auto.master - use yp table
date or ls -l /etc/localtime to show timezone. Was wrong so I did:
# timedatectl set-timezone Pacific/Honolulu
Install NFS
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
Add "Domain=ifa.hawaii.edu"
Enable service:
systemctl enable rpcbind
systemctl enable nfs-server
systemctl enable nfs-lock
systemctl enable autofs
Start service:
systemctl start rpcbind
systemctl start nfs-server
systemctl start nfs-idmap
systemctl start autofs
make links for automounts:
cd /
ln -s /netdisks/htdocs
ln -s /netdisks/irtf.backup
ln -s /netdisks/scrs1
ln -s /netdisks/starcatalogs4
Now you should have the IRTF users account and access general IRTF shared disks.
4. more centos installation and setup
smartd
Add devices to scan in conf:
vi /etc/smartmontools/smartd.conf
To enable service:
systemctl enable smartd.service
To start service:
systemctl start smartd.service
/etc/rc.local Enable & add commands
To enable
chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.local
systemctl start rc-local
line to add:
#
# if you screen blanck after 10 min or so, this stops it
#
/usr/bin/setterm -blank 0
#
# modify message queue defaults for spex, moris, ...
#
echo "40" > /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max
copy duke authorized keys: (DID NOT DO, Duke was down).
scp -p duke:/root/root/.ssh/authorized_keys ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys
vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config
add: ForwardX11 yes
create /dev/sda3, sda4:
gdisk /dev/sda
n to create
sda3, 50G, 8300
sda4, 365.6G, 8300
reboot so linux sees the partition
mkfs.ext4 -v -m 2 /dev/sda3
mkfs.ext4 -v -m 2 /dev/sda4
blkid /dev/sda3 # used to print UUID
blkid /dev/sda4
Add mount to /etc/fstab # note: used /dev/sdaX, not UUID
set cybele requirements (IDL, /usr/local)
EPL
yum -y install epel-release
PIP, Python Modules:
install from base:
yum install python-devel.x86_64 MySQL-python python-matplotlib numpy scipy sympy # from base
PIP from EPL:
Install some python libs using pip:
pip install numpy scipy sympy matplotlib
pip install future
pip install astropy
conflicted with base numpy, did 'yum remove numpy' then redid 'pip install astropy'.
A better way is anaconda for centos7?
copied /usr/local/ from venom (venom has IDL 7.1.1):
ssh venom -l root
