Chapter 2. Installing, Configuring and Running SCSP Proxy The SCSP Proxy installs as an RPM and is managed very similarly to other RPM packages. If the SCSP Proxy is being utilized on a Cluster Services Node (CSN), the installation and base configuration are performed automatically as part of CSN setup. See the CSN Installation and Configuration Guide for complete details of customizing the SCSP Proxy on the CSN. 2.1. Operating System Requirement SCSP Proxy has been developed and tested with 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.5. Other RHEL versions or Linux distributions are not currently supported. The information discussed in this chapter assumes you use a pre-installed RHEL Linux environment. 2.2. Installing and Configuring the SCSP Proxy To install the SCSP Proxy, you must first install prerequisite packages (if required). The following topics discuss these tasks in more detail: • Section 2.2.1, "Installing SCSP Proxy Prerequisites" • Section 2.2.3, "Installing or Upgrading the SCSP Proxy Software" • Section 2.2.4, "Configuring the SCSP Proxy" 2.2.1. Installing SCSP Proxy Prerequisites Before you can install the SCSP Proxy, you must verify the following prerequisites are installed: • Python 2.5 • Python Setuptools 0.6c9 • Twisted 8.2.0 None of the preceding are available as standard RPM packages with RHEL 5.5; however, a Python 2.5-compatible Twisted RPM is located in the /scspproxy directory of this SDK. If you are installing the SCSP Proxy on a Cluster Services Node (CSN), all of the required RPMs are installed for you. If you are installing the SCSP Proxy on a non-CSN system, you can manually install the packages using commands like the following (in the order shown): yum -y --nogpgcheck install caringo-3rdparty-Python-2.5.4-x86_64.rpm yum -y --nogpgcheck install caringo-3rdparty-setuptools-0.6c9-x86_64.rpm yum -y --nogpgcheck install caringo-3rdparty-Twisted-8.2.0-x86_64.rpm 2.2.2. Upgrading RHEL Before starting your Proxy installation, upgrade to RHEL 5.5 using upgrade utilities provided with the operating system. 2.2.3. Installing or Upgrading the SCSP Proxy Software Installing the SCSP Proxy from the SDK is similar to installing the prerequisites because the procedure is different depending on whether or not you have CSN. To install the SCSP Proxy from the SDK, do either of the following: Copyright © 2010 Caringo, Inc. All rights reserved 8 Version 1.2 December 2010
