xCAT 2.7.2

Note: All HPC software is listed by its version number that xCAT 2.7.2 HPC Integration was tested with. Other versions may work with this support as well.

_Developer notes: _

• This table needs to be filled out for all products, architectures, OS. First entries should be for RH6.2 on ppc64 for System Test.

• Since it looks like this table may grow very large, another option would be to have separate tables for each OS/Arch. Then you could remove the first 2 columns to make it fit better on the screen. Or, the table separation could be at OS/Arch/node type. That would follow the HPC Documentation better for links. And, if tables are separate for OS/Arch/node type, you might want to create more columns to separate file types. Something like:

  Files required for RH6.2 on PPC64 for Statelite or Stateless Nodes:

  (all files are installed in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/IBMhpc)

HPC Product pkglist Files otherpkgs Files postinstall scripts exclude lists postbootscripts Notes

• Another change might be to color highlight those files that are new/changed for this release to make it easier for users that are upgrading xCAT and their HPC software stack.

• See notes for PE 1.2 below

• See notes for LL 5.1.0.3 below

• The UPC compiler is optional and only available for Power775. You will need to edit your otherpkgs.pkglist and postinstall script to include this compiler. See notes for Compilers below.

• See notes for PE 1.2 below

• See notes for LL 5.1.0.3 below

• You will need to edit

• You will need to edit IBMhpc.postbootscript to change the following calls:

• pe_install changes to pe_install-1200

• loadl_install changes to loadl_install-5103

• essl_install changes to essl_install_pessl4100

• add upc_license if using UPC compiler (Power775 only)

• See notes for Compilers below
• New with PE 1.2, the PE rpm install and license acceptance is now done using otherpkgs.pkglist instead of the pe_install postinstall script.
• The ckpt.sh script is only needed if you are using the checkpoint/restart function
• For BSR configuration, you will need to edit pe_install.1200 and remove comments

Compilers:

• XL C/C++ V11.1

• XL Fortran V13.1

• XL UPC V12.0 compute

• The UPC compiler is optional and only available for Power775

• The UPC compiler requires XL Mass v7.1, while XL C/C++ and XL Fortran both require XL Mass v6.1. If installing UPC, both versions of XL Mass will be installed.
