Requires:

— LV-67J — Assemble as with G except: (put link to node specific page)

  • 1 160GB HDD on tray, with standoffs (add picture)
  • Power button in back panel
  • No CM
  • Intel 1000T NIC adapter

— LV-67K — Assemble as with G except: (put link to node specific page)

  • DO NOT CONNECT 4 PIN ATX12V POWER CABLE
  • Mobile node uses connector for 12V dc input, with 24 pin connector acting as output. Connecting both will damage board.

  • Connect new CM, attach to back panel with angle bracket, #440 screws. Choose beveled or pan head appropriately.
  • Use 60gb SSD on tray, with standoffs. (add picture)
Installing the base OS
Console Machine Disk Partitioning

While setting up Ubuntu server, partition the disk as follows:

  • 20 GB Primary boot partition
  • 20 GB Home directory
  • 116 GB create a new mount point /Export for images
  • 4 GB Swap . Set the 'location' as end, and set 'use as' to swap area.
  • 35 MB EFI boot partition
Network setup and configuration
  • Three networks
  • Data
  • CM
  • Control
  • 3 switches, 1 partitioned switch, or single cable out.
One unmanaged switch per subnet

Single managed switch

Single trunk per node

Software Configuration

Add the following line to the /etc/apt/sources.list 

deb http://pkg.mytestbed.net/ubuntu precise/

Follow the steps on ​http://mytestbed.net/projects/omf54/wiki/Installation_Guide_54 to install OMF 5.4.

Please setup DNS to resolve locally rather than use the domain setup by the dhcp client. This will help create your own sub-domain for OMF services such as XMPP,inventory and wimax-rf.

Remove any "search" entries from /etc/resolv.conf as well as remove the "request domain-*" parameters from /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

Setting up Inventory service

After installing the ogs_inventory package to /usr/share/omf-aggmgr-5.4/omf-aggmgr/

Add all the nodes to the inventory database using 

ruby addNode.rb
