Linux Enterprise Cluster: Build a Highly Available Cluster with Commodity Hardware and Free Software
With the required packages installed, you're ready to install Ganglia on the cluster node manager.
Download the latest Ganglia software RPM packages from the Ganglia website, and install them using the standard RPM commands. Here is the list of RPM package names before and after Ganglia release 3.0:
| Old RPM Package Name | 3.0 and Later RPM Package Name |
|---|---|
| ganglia-monitor-core | ganglia-gmetad |
| ganglia-monitor-core-gmond | ganglia-gmond |
| ganglia-webfrontend | ganglia-web |
| ganglia-monitor-core-lib | ganglia-devel |
| gexec and authd | ganglia-gexec-client |
On the cluster node manager, you need to install ganglia-gmetad, ganglia-gmond, ganglia-web, ganglia-devel, and (optionally) ganglia-gexec-client.
| Note | You may have to use --nodeps when installing to force the ganglia-web RPM to ignore dependencies, because the RPM database will have no record of the RRDtool or PHP software if you installed RRDtool and PHP from source. If you compiled gmond from source instead of loading it from RPM, you must use the --enable-gexec flag to support gexec. |
