Mt favorite way to update/manage my clusters is to use pdsh. If you |
| 2 |
NFS mount your portage directory then you can do this. Updates come |
| 3 |
in three steps: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Step1: Make the package. |
| 6 |
emerge -bu <program/world> |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Step 2: Install it everywhere. |
| 9 |
pdsh -a emerge -buk <program/world> |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Step 3: Update the YACI install image. |
| 12 |
(This is a custom script I wrote that mounts the portage directory |
| 13 |
and proc on the install image directory, then runs the command |
| 14 |
specified in a chroot environment.) |
| 15 |
/tftpboot/images/chroot.sh emerge -buk <program/world> |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I actually wrap this entire process in a single script to make things |
| 19 |
easier =) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And just FYI.. always run jobs niced =) Condor does this for you |
| 22 |
automatically and SGE can be made to do it with a bit of tweaking. It |
| 23 |
makes installs go so much faster =) |
