Installation - prelude
Where to install - on a shared disk
only one installation for the whole cluster
a) make local AFS server – NOT recommended
advantage – users can use afs clients to access their
code and disadvantaged
could be quite unstable,
not worth the trouble
b) on NFS disk - preferred
stable
easier for maintenance
usually available on most of the clusters
Installation can be done from one computer with access to AFS and distributed to the whole cluster via NFS.
