heterogeneous clusters: is HTTP should be running on nodes?
 

I have different hardware architectures of my PCs, so I resided to play with installation as it described in 8.7.2. Cross Kickstarting i386 Compute Nodes with a x86_64 Frontend doc. I run thru it and build my cluster with one FE (64bit) and 4 (i386) Nodes.
I downloaded i386 versions of the Base, Kernel, Web Server and OS disk 1 and OS disk 2 rolls.
Installation went without any errors, but what was surprised I did not found that web-server was actually installed and running on nodes. FE has it.
So question is: shall it be there? or I need to add it manually?

Here is roll list:

NAME VERSION ARCH ENABLED
sge: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
kvm: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
os: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
kernel: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
perl: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
ganglia: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
python: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
web-server: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
java: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
base: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
hpc: 6.1.1 x86_64 yes
base: 6.1 i386 yes
kernel: 6.1 i386 yes
os: 6.1 i386 yes
service-pack: 6.1 i386 yes
web-server: 6.1 i386 yes
ganglia: 6.1 i386 yes

Any advise?

Thanks,
Alex.

http://www.rocksclusters.org/rocks-d...4.3/cross.html says you must import rolls for the architecture you're going to support then rebuild your distribution for it?

That is what I did, in above list you see web-server is there.

Ah crap: "web-server: 6.1 i386 yes", must have read over it, sorry. OK, well then add it manually to compute nodes.

Sorry, I am relatively new to Rocks...
So not really clear on this: how to install "web-server: 6.1 i386" on the node?

I did try from frontend:
# rocks add roll web-server *iso
# rocks enable roll web-server
# cd /export/rocks/install
# rocks create distro
# rocks run roll web-server | sh

but did not see anything on node...
