Download the ClusterWareAI Install Script and Related Files#

Most commonly, first download a ClusterWareAI ™ Yum repo configuration file that is already customized for your cluster, containing an appropriate authentication token granting access to the various ClusterWareAI Yum repo directories. That authentication token is the cluster serial number provided by Penguin Computing.

  • Login to the Penguin Computing Support Portal at https://www.penguinsolutions.com/en-us/support.

  • Click on the Assets tab, and then select a specific Asset Name.

  • In the Asset Detail section, click on YUM Repo File, which downloads an asset-specific clusterware.repo file.

  • Move that downloaded file to /etc/yum.repos.d/clusterware.repo.

  • Verify clusterware.repo permissions and ownership by installing the clusterware-installer package, which contains the cw-install script.

For example:

cd /tmp
# Expecting the desired clusterware.repo file to now reside in /tmp
sudo chmod 644 clusterware.repo
sudo chown root:root clusterware.repo
sudo cp -a clusterware.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/clusterware.repo
sudo dnf install clusterware-installer

Alternatively, if Penguin Computing has transmitted (e.g., by email) a custom clusterware.repo file to you, then as described above, move that file to /etc/yum.repos.d/clusterware.repo, install the clusterware-installer RPM, and then execute the /usr/bin/cw-install script contained in that RPM.

Less commonly, download the cw-install script directly from the Penguin Computing Yum repository. When executed, that script queries the user for the appropriate authentication token (cluster serial number) provided by Penguin Computing, and uses that to create an appropriate /etc/yum.repos.d/clusterware.repo. For example, download and prepare the cw-install script:

cd /tmp
wget https://repo.ice.penguinsolutions.com/clusterware/13/installer/cw-install
# or download with *curl* or equivalent
chmod +x cw-install
