I have had a successful LAM/MPI cluster some time back. Here are the steps
that I have figured out after many unsuccessful attempts. These steps are my
quickest way to have a LAM/MPI cluster.
1.Install Linux in the Master node
2.Set Hostname and domainname
3.Setup the Master node as NIS server
4.Export /usr, /home directories.
5.Add a user for cluster, say kluster.
6.Update the NIS maps.
7.Install lam-mpi in Master under /usr/local
8.Install NPB in /usr/npb
9.Check the path for mpicc and lam* executables.
10.In Master: login as kluster.
11.Create a text file lamhosts in ~/ with:
LMIT3 #Master Node
Node1 #Slave Node
12.Install Linux in Slave node node1.
13.Make slave to mount /home, /usr with NFS.
14.Setup NIS ypbind in node1.
15.Check whether NIS is OK by using ypcat.
16.In node1: Login as kluster.
17.Type recon âÂÂv lamhosts in master to check whether the cluster is
bootable.
18.Type lamboot âÂÂv lamhosts in Master to start lam on the cluster.
19.From Master, type tping âÂÂc5 N to ping the entire cluster (use this to
check
the cluster is OK).
20.In Master: mpirun N progname or mpirun âÂÂlamd N progname to run the
progname
on all nodes. The second command used lamd to run the program.

hi all,
Have been trying (unsuccessfully) to run LAM/MPI on my
2 node network. But when I run lamboot, it says
Permission Denied.
the <hostfile> and the network is configured properly.
Also the problem is with ssh. Earlier I had the same
problem with rsh. I sorted it out by adding:
in.rshd 192.168.0. and in.rlogind 192.168.0.
although I have also added sshd 192.168.0. to the
/etc/hosts.allow file I get the ssh error.
I got the above <fix> from Google, if anyone has a
better solution please help.
Thank You
