Proxy
In addition to the web interface setting (for the cluster), need to configure aptitude as well. Add to somewhere appropriate (e.g. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf)
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://wwwcache.gla.ac.uk:8080"; Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://wwwcache.gla.ac.uk:8080";
Time
Have to set up NTP on each system as before. Edit /etc/ntp.conf to add:
server login.physics.gla.ac.uk iburst
and restart the service
/etc/init.d/ntp restart
Check with ntpq -p , output will look something like:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *puck.physics.gl 130.159.196.117 3 u 41 64 17 0.244 0.154 0.115 s02.be.it2go.eu .STEP. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 utl-ntp.evo.hlm .STEP. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 218-32-169-193. .STEP. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 wan1.dgeb.info .STEP. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
Time needs to be reasonably accurate before attempting cluster join!
Cluster
Instructions at http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_2.0_Cluster
Quick guide
Login to the a node. To create cluster:
pvecm create YOUR-CLUSTER-NAME
Use a unique name. This name cannot be changed later!
To check the state of cluster:
pvecm status
To add a node, log in to that node and run:
pvecm add IP-ADDRESS-CLUSTER
Where the address is that of one of the existing cluster nodes. It will ask for the root password of the node you are connecting to.
Remember to add the new node’s address to nfs shares etc.
