Install and configure the cloud computing platform sector/sphere environment in Ubuntu 10.04

Preface

Cloud computing provides users with pay-as-you-go computing capabilities, storage capabilities, and service capabilities to facilitate users and greatly reduce their hardware and software procurement costs.

One is to provide convenience and improve capabilities, and the other is to reduce expenses.

I. Sector/sphere Platform

1. Sector/sphere consists of two parts: Sector Distributed File System and sphere parallel data processing framework.

It is a cloud computing platform written in C ++.

2. Comparison between sector/sphere cloud computing platform and traditional data access methods:

Purpose: Data Locality:

Traditional systems: separated storage and computing subsystems are expensive. Data I/O is the bottleneck.

Sector/sphere model: storage and computing as one, inexpensive, parallel data Io

Objective: to simplify programming

Traditional: parallel and distributed programming using MPI is flexible and powerful, but it is very complicated to develop.

Sector/sphere: a cluster is regarded as a whole for developers. It provides simplified programming interfaces and limited concurrent data applications.

Goals: Global Systems

Traditional systems: requires additional efforts to locate and move data

Sector/sphere: supports mobile phones and publishing of WAN data.

3/sector Distributed File System

II. Environment to be configured for the Ubuntu system before installation:

Ubuntu 10.04 system, sector/sphere file, download URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sector

Related documents: http://sector.sourceforge.net/doc/index.htm

Software Installed: ibssl-Dev, GCC, G ++, libfuse-Dev, and fuse (optional)

3. Compile

1/Use The sudo tar-zxvf sector.xx.tar.gz-C/XX command to decompress the downloaded sector File

2/enter the decompressed Sector Directory: Enter CD./sector-sphere; make command to compile sector/sphere cloud computing platform

Iv. Sector/sphere Configuration

The configuration files of sector/spher are all in the conf folder of the Sector root directory. Three files are important:

1/master. conf: configuration of the master server, such as the port of the sector, the address of the security server, and the data address of the master server

2/slave. conf: slave node configuration, such as the address of the master server and the storage path of local data

3/cleint. conf: master server address and user account and password configuration, to prevent the user from verifying information every time the sector tool is run

4/configure the $ sector_home environment variable

5. Start and run the server

Run the security service command:./securtiy/sserver

Run the master service:./master/start_master

Run the slave service:./Slave/start_slave

6. Check the installation status.

Run the./sector_sysinfo command in the tools directory. If basic information about the system appears, including the masters, slaves, available files in the system, and available disk space

The installation is successful.
