Re: [SSI-devel] help : openssi on RH9

[<jo...@ne...>]

Hmmm...

I get the impression that ci and openssi are not THAT closely
related as I thought...

is the following correct :

- you can run ci alone and the you need a lilo.conf like this :

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-ci
	label=ci
	read-only
	root=/dev/<root_partition>
	[initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-ci.img]

- when you want to run openssi, you first must install ci, and you
need a different lilo.conf like this :

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.x_ssi_1ssi
      label=openssi
      initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-openssi.img
      root=/dev/ram0
      append="init=/linuxrc"
      read-write

If I read the docs ok, CI is infrastructure that is useful for more
cluster solutions, not only openssi... correct? Does it make sense
to run CI ALONE, so without another cluster tool 'above' it?


Can anyone recommend a good book about it? Read Bruce's white paper
and so...

Many thanks Indian guys! It must be late evening there? Do you
always work that late?
