Thread: Configuring Lava After Building It from the repository

Hello All,

I wanted to try out Lava on a test system in order to get a feel for how it works, so I downloaded the source code and built it on a system running Fedora Core 9. The only thing that I needed to do in order to get things to build correctly was modify Make.def. Here is the diff for anyone who is interested:

[aha@charm lava]$ svn diff Make.def

Anyway, I've built Lava, I've installed, Lava, but I have one question left...How do I configure Lava?

I looked at the admin guide and it makes the assumption that you are using Platform OCS. I know at the very least I need a lsf.conf file, but I don't know how to build one from scratch. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi Aquil,

I'm just working on Lava project and made a tutorial for setting up Lava at http://www.hpccommunity.org/blogs/no...n-cluster-105/.

Wish this could help you more or less and hope it's not too late reply.

Cheers
