My PLC installation for Orbit
In this document we outline the process for installing the Myplc controller on a Fedora 8 VM. I'm essentially following the instructions from: this page.
Step 0
Populate the "varibles" table with values.
Step 1
We install Fedora 8 on a vm by booting the vm with an install iso. The general instructions are detailed here (see the section on building a client). The main diffrence is that we use the Fedora 8 install iso, instead of ubuntu. The commands I ran as root out of the /root directory on external3 were:
wget http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD.iso ./install_vm ./vm_img/fedora_server.img ./Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD.iso ... ./start_vm ./vm_img/fedora8.img 1
Where … is this process:
- connect to the vnc session on external3:5900 (you will need a vnc client and possibly and ssh tunnel)
- use the fedora to install the OS mostly this is all defaulted. We even let it do the partitioning, it sets up lvm. The only departures from the defaults were:
- Skipped the CD check (Purely for convenience)
- set the root password to ….
- set the default user to native/….
- Completely disable the firewall (there are notes in the Myplc documentation about enabling specific firewall ports)
- Completely disable SElinux features. (Myplc requires this as a step in the installation process)
- Power down (don't reboot, as we'll want to start the vm back up with out the install iso, the step immediately following this process.)
Once this is done the fedora system should be operational and through the vnc session you should be able to modify settings. I opted to let it preform the 280+ updates, and then edited the sudosers list (by running visudo as root, you will have to su -) to enable the wheel group with out passwords (there was a life for this, I just uncommented it). I then added native to the wheel group, thus giving it sudo privlage. SSHD comes installed by default, so using the native/…. credentials you can ssh into this box. The current Ip given by dhcp was 10.50.250.20. This is useful since you can't copy paste into a vnc window easily. Note - by default kvm's vnc sessions don't require a password to connect, so they only "lock out" of the machine comes in the form of gdm/console login prompts.
Step 2
Based on the variables from Step 0 I've modified the the repo creation rules to:
[native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "[myplc]" > /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "name= MyPLC" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "baseurl=http://build.planet-lab.org/planetlab/f8/pl-f8-i386-5.0-k32-rc-20/RPMS/" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "enabled=1" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo' [native@localhost ~] sudo sh -c 'echo "gpgcheck=0" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/myplc.repo'
Running the update gets us.
[native@localhost ~]$ sudo yum update fedora-release myplc | 1.1 kB 00:00 myplc/primary | 178 kB 00:00 myplc 101/101 Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update
Finally the results of installing Myplc is a lot of screen dump and a question about if you are sure you want to install. The end results looks like:

Step 3
We are apparently taking Path A. The Answer in step Zero shape our answers to the questions posed by
[native@localhost ~] sudo plc-config-tty
