Installation

The installation program allows you to install the eWAN graphical interface to finally deploy a logical topology on the cluster. It reserves, deploys and reads the configuration options of the nodes to generate the configuration file for eWAN, installs it and starts the initial eWAN graphical interface page.

If you wish, you can make the installation for yourself. The graphical interface of eWAN allows you to have some configuration files with different options on each one (the nodes, the IP's, ...). You have also a webtool to verify that the configuration file is wellwrited.

The installation script can be viewed as two tools, a cluster specific tool and a cluster discovery tool. Each cluster works with a set of tools which are different from another cluster, the security systems are not equal, and all the servers, clients, hostnames and structure are specific for each cluster. Actually, only a grid5000 structure is allowed, with the OAR reservation tool and the Kadeploy deploying tool, but the cluster discover tool can be reused on other installation programs.
