Lemon Installation for GT Virtual Testbed

Server installation

A SLC4 64 virtual machine has been created using vNode: vtb-generic-45.cern.ch, with:

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Scientific Linux CERN SLC release 4.8 (Beryllium)
# uname -a
Linux vtb-generic-45.cern.ch 2.6.9-78.0.13.EL.cernxenU #1 SMP Mon Jan 19 14:11:02 CET 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The documentation for installing Lemon is here. The instructions for a flat file based server installation have been followed. A client installation will been done on the same host in order to do some preliminary tests.

The following repo file have been created:

[root@vtb-generic-19 yum.repos.d]# cat lemon.repo 
[lemon]
name=Lemon
baseurl=http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/lemon/linux/RPMS/x86_64/sl4/stable/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://linuxsoft/lemon/RPM-GPG-KEY-lemon

[root@vtb-generic-19 yum.repos.d]# cat lemon-server.repo 
[lemon-servers]
name=Lemon Servers
baseurl=http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/lemon/cern/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://linuxsoft/lemon/RPM-GPG-KEY-lemon

In order to solve some dependencies issues, some additional rpms have been downloaded directly from the repository http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/lemon/linux/RPMS/x86_64/sl4/stable/:

# wget http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/lemon/linux/RPMS/x86_64/sl4/stable/apr-1.2.9-1.x86_64.rpm
# wget http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/lemon/linux/RPMS/x86_64/sl4/stable/apr-util-1.2.8-1.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -ivh apr-1.2.9-1.x86_64.rpm
# yum install postgresql-libs
# rpm -ivh apr-util-1.2.8-1.x86_64.rpm

# yum install lemon-server
# yum install lemon-admin

Pysqlite2 needs to be installed as well if you plan to use an sqlite db:

#  wget http://pysqlite.googlecode.com/files/pysqlite-2.6.0.tar.gz
# tar -xvzf pysqlite-2.6.0.tar.gz
# cd pysqlite-2.6.0
# python setup.py build_static install

Server Configuration

# ls -l /etc/lemon-server-metadata.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 174730 Aug 12  2008 /etc/lemon-server-metadata.conf
# usermod -a -G root lemon
# id lemon
uid=100(lemon) gid=103(lemon) groups=103(lemon),0(root)
# lemon-admin --backend=sqlite --create-schema
        Creating metadata structure.
                Processing file: flat/metric_tables.sql
                DDL successfull


# lemon-admin --backend=sqlite --create-schema > lemon-admin --backend=sqlite --all --file=/etc/lemon-server-metadata.conf

At this point the lemon database should be present in /var/lib/lemon-server/lemon.db
