perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Turnbough, Bradley E." <>]

Thanks for the suggestion, but we utilize a pxe / kickstart build here.  I 
can't load a machine from an ISO image.

Brad,

If your organization uses Centos 6, then you can use the Full perfSonar 
toolkit, it uses Centos 6.    Ask to have the VM space created and then 
install from the ISO.  It will be up and running in about 15 minutes.

    Hi All,

    Hope this is the right place to put out this message:

    I'm looking into implementing perfsonar in our organization.  I have two 
hub and spoke toplogies at this time, but we're moving more to a mesh 
topology.

    I've done some reading but it appears the installation of the pieces 
required (which Im not entirely sure of) is fairly easy, but it appears that 
the configuration of the pieces is complex.

    I have roughly 30 locations, but at this time, I'm working solely in a 
lab environment-- I'm aiming for a server / client model.

    I have a VM to do anything with (yes, I know a vm is not a suggested 
config) and it is running Centos 6.  I've installed the perfsonar repo and 
the following packages:
    "perfsonar-ui-web"
    "perfsonar-meshconfig-jsonbuilder"
    "perfsonar-centralmanagement"

    I am able to pull up "http://{ipaddress}:8080/perfsonar-ui but it doesn't 
appear I can do much else at this time.

    On the client, I have done the following:
    I've installed the repo and the following packages:
    perfsonar-testpoint

    What else do I need to do on the server, and what do I need to install / 
configure on the client?


    I hope this is enough info to get us going.

    Regards,

    Brad Turnbough.
