perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[andres oliva <>]

Hi, first apologize for the delay in the mail I'm answering, I went on vacation and had no connection where I was.

Secondly, and resuming the mentioned project (installing perfsonar in low cost ARM platforms), I have tried with the following options:

1. Install perfsonar-testpoint (it was not possible)

2. Point to the Ubuntu ARM repository (did not mean changes)

RESULTS:

1. 

apt-get install perfsonar-testpoint 

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 perfsonar-testpoint : Depends: pscheduler-bundle-full but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

2.

apt-get install pscheduler-bundle-full

 pscheduler-tool-iperf3 : Depends: numactl but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

QUESTIONS

1. numactl: NUMA scheduling and memory placement tool

NUMA is a CPU feature (IIRC), is it essential for installation in low cost ARM platforms?

2. What other way can I take to install perfsonar-testpoint in my in low cost ARM platforms?

Thanks!!

Yes, you can try installing perfsonar-testpoint and esmond.  If this is
a Ubuntu clone it is possible they did not include Java or some other
package required by perfsonar.
