perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Uhl, George D. (GSFC-423.0)[SGT INC]" <>]

Hi Joon,

I installed ubuntu 12.04.5 Precise on both my LIVA X 2GB/32GB mini’s.  I had to make sure that I bios was configured to boot into Win8.X(UEFI) mode.  I’ve installed the perfSONAR-Testpoint package on both – one I run as an latency/loss server (OWAMP) and the other as a performance testing server (BWCTL/iperf3).  Both are participating in a mesh.

Subject: [perfsonar-user] Installing Ubuntu 14.04 server on ECS LIVA X

Hi all,

So we decided to test with a LIVA X 2GB/32GB machine for low-cost perfSONAR nodes.

I tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 server 64bit OS on the box via a USB stick, and ran it to this problem: 

http://goo.gl/mLNYK0

The workaround “hack” suggested by the user “vijayan2” *does* work. The Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop image on a USB stick does detect the eMMC storage (although after an error message: "fsyncing/closing /dev/mmcblk0rpmb intput/output error”)

Did anyone experience this, and does anyone know how to install the server version directy on the LIVA X box? 

Thanks, 

Joon
