Installation of openQRM

Preparing Network:

Install “bridge-utils”

# sudo apt-get install bridge-utils

Now edit /etc/network/interfaces and setup a bridge using a static, private ip-address.

#cat /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.3.251
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.3.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_fd 0
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12
bridge_stp off

#sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

#brctl show

bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.002215be747a no eth0

Now setup the static ip-address (192.168.3.251) and hostname in /etc/hosts. Please make sure that the hostname (cloud) does not appear in the line starting with 127.0.0.1.

#cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.88.3 cloud cloud

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Preparing Storage:

Install lvm2, nfs-kernel-server, iscsi-target and vblade.

#apt-get install lvm2 nfs-kernel-server iscsitarget vblade

Now prepare the dedicated partition to be used with lvm, then create a logical volume group “vol”.

#pvcreate /dev/sda3

#pvs

PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 lvm2 — 186.23g 186.23g

#vgcreate vol /dev/sda3

Volume group “vol” successfully created

#vgs

VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vol 1 0 0 wz–n- 186.22g 186.22g

Edit /etc/default/iscsitarget and set the iscsitarget to be started on boot-up.

#cat /etc/default/iscsitarget

ISCSITARGET_ENABLE=true

Then start the iscsitarget and nfs-kernel-server services.

#/etc/init.d/iscsitarget start

#/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

Prepare Storage:

For the openQRM Server Database backend we install “mysql-server”.

#apt-get install -y mysql-server

For sake of simplicity we have left the myslq-password empty.

Prepare KVM:

Install the “kvm” package.

#apt-get install -y kvm

Install openQRM:

We build openQRM from the sources which are available in the openQRM Projects subversion repository.

#sudo apt-get install -y subversion make

Now checkout the openQRM sources from the svn repository.

#svn co https://openqrm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openqrm openqrm

#cd openqrm/trunk/src/

“make” requires a working internet connection. If no internet is available on this system you

can download the build-cache which will avoid any downloads using:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/openqrm/files/openQRM-4.6/source/openqrm-thirdparty-cache.tgz/download

#make

All compilation results are cached by the openQRM build-system. To ensure all components are build correctly simply run “make” again. The second (and every further “make” run) will just takes a few seconds.

Then run “make install”.

#make install

And finally initialize and start openQRM by “make start”.

#make start

Once initialization is complete, please configure your openQRM Server at: http://[server-ip-address]/openqrm/

-> User: openqrm -> Password: openqrm

“make start” triggers a check for the openQRM runtime-dependencies which will install all additional required packages automatically. At first start the openQRM Server is initialized.
