Hi Malcom,

Sorry about the delay in replying. I didn't see your message until now. I've altered my rules to try and help in the future.

I did update several components of Openfiler recently, so although rPath may be dieing and Openfiler may be moving to CentOS, I think this procedure should still work...

It does not look like I edited these, but anyway:

My /etc/conaryrc: installLabelPath openfileresa.rpath.org at esa:openfileresa-3.0 pinTroves (kernel|linux-image-2\.6\.[0-9]+-[0-9]+(-[a-z]+)?)([:-].*|$) includeConfigFile /etc/conary/config.d/*

My /etc/conary/config.d/openfiler:

installLabelPath <mailto:openfileresa.rpath.org at esa:openfileresa-3.0> openfileresa.rpath.org at esa:openfileresa-3.0 <mailto:foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-qa> foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-qa <mailto:conary.rpath.com at rpl:2> conary.rpath.com at rpl:2 autoResolve True

Sadly, the crucial part of what I did has gone out of my history now and my PuTTY logs are a little unclear, but it looks like I did something like:

conary update gcc

conary update python ## not required for xymon, was for the script I was

going to write

conary update libtool

conary update glib

conary update automake

conary update autoconf

conary update pkgconfig

conary update subversion

Now you probably have enough to build xymon-client, but as an example I'll include the next line (the next thing I did) where I specified the repository because it was not in the default repositories:

conary update freetds=foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-devel/1-1-1

And now we can build xymon-client like so (I probably should have done more as the xymon user, but hey):

useradd xymon

cd /home

cd xymon/

svn co https://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xymon/trunk xymon-trunk

chown -R xymon:xymon xymon-trunk

cd xymon-trunk/

./configure --client

make

chown -R xymon:xymon *

make install

su xymon

/home/xymon/client/runclient.sh start

Bear in mind that the procedure for building xymon-client has changed recently I think, so you will need to check that. Oh, and of course you need to configure some xymon conf files!

Hope this helps, but if you really need the binaries, I could find some way to upload and share them...

Kind regards,

Sebastian

Hi SebA

rPath is pretty much dead now so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the components I need to build. If you have the Xymon binaries, they'll probably work as the OS base for OF is pretty static.

Thanks Malcolm

I compiled xymon-client on Openfiler to get the drbd client plug-in working. However it was ages ago and I can't remember how I did it. I know I created a xymon user, installed svn, checked-out xymon-trunk, installed a compiler and other build tools and compiled and installed the client. I think some things were available from the Openfiler respositories and some I had to get from other similar rPath Linux repositories. It was quite a work-up! Let me know if you want to go down this route instead of xymon-rclient and I'll see if I can get further info.

Kind regards,

SebA

You don't actually need to compile anything. If you can ssh to the Openfiler with ssh keys, you should be able to use this:

Hi,

Does anyone have Xymon client running on Openfiler? I have no idea how to get the prerequisites to compile it on the appliance and my CentOS built client doesn't start.

Thanks Malcolm
