This section presents in detail steps for installing and setting up the grid
environment that includes Red Hat Linux, Network Time Protocol, Globus, and a
Certificate Authority.
The following topics are discussed:
- Required software
- Hardware environment
- Operating system installation
- Globus installation and setup
- CA installation and setup
B.1 Required Software
Globus Toolkit 2.2 is used in this study. Globus Toolkit 2.x supports Red Hat
Linux on xSeries and AIX on pSeries. We select Red Hat Linux 9.0 as our host
operating system.
The below is the list of required files to be downloaded:
- Globus Packaging Technology: gpt-2.2.2-src.tar.gz
- Globus client: globus-all-client-2.2.3-i686-pc-linux-gnu-bin.tar.gz
- Server bundle: globus-all-server-2.2.3-i686-pc-linux-gnu-bin.tar.gz
- Certificate Authority: globus_simple_ca_bundle-0.9.tar.gz
- Network Time Protocol (NTP): ntp-4.1.1-1.i386.rpm
Place these files in the directory /usr/src. These Globus files can be downloaded
from the address: ftp://ftp.globus.org/pub/gt2/2.2/.
The NTP package already is installed in Red Hat Linux 9.0, so we do not need
to download and install it. However, for other versions of Linux, we have to set up the
NTP on hosts.
B.2 Setting Up the Environment
An Ethernet LAN and three Intel Pentium machines were used to build the grid
environment. Figure 3-23 presents this environment with the host names and
functions to be installed in each machine.
The host names are m1, m2, and m3. The machines should have a clock speed
of at least 500 Mhz, at least 128 MB of memory, and at least 8 GB hard drives.
