Thread: Proper Lava kit for Kusu 1.1

Hello, I am using Kusu 1.1 and I want to try out Lava. When facing the issue of downloading and installing a kit, I didn't find an i386 version among downloadable files. I still don't feel confident with kit creation to dare roll my own, so I browsed the whole Internet (I swear) and found *this* file:

http://www.osgdc.org/pub/build/kits/...tos-5.i386.iso

Everything seemed well at installation, but I have been having some problems, i.e.
1) Master daemon does not get started (found that I had to remove the installer's public interface from /etc/lava/hosts to make it run)
2) Basically I can't seem to make slaves respond to my master. When I run lsadmin reconfig, lim says timeout. I picked up this command from nopparat's article. Configuration for lava in slaves seem defective, as /etc/lava doesn't show any files
3) My jobs are all forever pending because of some misconfiguration I had assumed to be automatically resolved:

[oso@capfe ~]$ bjobs -l

Job <2>, User <oso>, Project <default>, Status <PEND>, Queue <normal>, Command

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...

And there may be other errors awaiting for sure...
So, my questions are, am I doing right in using this particular kit for my Kusu installation? What am I doing wrong?

Or, shall I have to build my own Lava kit? Can somebody provide me with the right kit?

In any case, can someone help me with this problem with slaves?

Thank you very much in advance

Misconfiguration found and fixed.

FWIW, previously to installing Lava, I had been forced to change one installer's IP address to another network. No wonder somebody was not being reached. Despite all effort to wipe the old IP, leftovers from it seemed to remain forever all around the place, so I finally reinstalled Kusu and Lava, and it seems to work perfectly now.

The moral of it, Migration to another network is nightmarish.

Biggest THANK YOU to you all for Kusu and friends, it's a wonderful, useful, faithful, piece of software.
