CentOS 6.2
Preparation
- Request static IP address in 137.110.118 or 137.110.119 subnet, suggest DNS name (find inspiration at [1])
- Send DNS name to Jurgen to update data bank at [2]
Hardware
- Set up computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse on lab desk
- Make sure mouse is wired and optical; talk to Jurgen if not
- Connect monitor via DVI or HDMI, not VGA
- Connect network cable to activated Ethernet jack
Install Operating System
- insert CentOS on USB thumb drive
- reboot computer
- in boot manager: select DVD drive to boot from USB
- use default regional settings (US/English)
- set root password
- in time zone settings: enable NTP
- instead of doing a minimum install, select "Software Development Workstation"
- Configure network
- start network configuration tool in System->Administration->Network
- double click on connected Ethernet port
- enter this computer's static IP address
- net mask: 255.255.255.0
- DNS server: 132.239.0.252
- reboot
Configure File Server Access
- Add machine's IP address to server's "exports" file
- "exportfs -r" on server
- Add two lines to /etc/fstab:
137.110.118.210:/raid/ivlhome /home nfs defaults 0 0 137.110.118.211:/data /data nfs defaults 0 0
- Remove from /etc/fstab to avoid conflict with new /home:
/dev/mapper/centos-home /home xfs defaults 0 0
- mkdir /data
- Enable NFS services:
systemctl enable nfs.service systemctl start nfs.service
- Open up firewall for NFS:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=111/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=54302/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=20048/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2049/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=46666/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=42955/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=875/tcp
- mount -a
