perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Hey Robert;

We don't have a complete guide for how to do this, but there is some 
information here that will be useful:

  http://psps.perfsonar.net/start.html

Those that have taken this road before have noted that it can be problematic 
when attempting to use some of the RPMs due to version mismatches and the 
like (particularly if you are starting with something that != CentOS 5/6).  
To prevent headaches we would recommend just sticking with a pSPT if you want 
all the pSPT functionality.  If you plan to just install a tool or two (like 
BWCTL and it's related libraries), the RPM method should work fine. 

Thanks;

-jason
