Instant-Grid 1.1 (Default branch)

Instant-Grid is a Knoppix-based live-CD bundledwith a pre-configured grid environment based onthe Globus Toolkit. One PC started from this CDbecomes the Instant-Grid frontend. It alsofunctions as a PXE boot-server, allowing other PCsin the same local network to boot the Instant-Gridenvironment. Together with the frontend, these PCsautomatically form a working test grid. Like withthe original Knoppix, the existing configurationof the participating PC is not touched (exceptmaybe for enabling the PXE boot-option), andremains instantly available by a simple reboot.License: Freely DistributableChanges:
This version is based on Knoppix 5.1.1, which improves support for more recent hardware. The English documentation has been expanded, many function tests have been automated, and the workflow stability has been improved.Image

NAME
icapd - Instant Capacity (iCAP) daemon. SYNOPSIS
icapd DESCRIPTION
The (formerly ) daemon is installed and started as part of the Instant Capacity software on all potential iCAP systems, and respawns itself if killed. If this daemon is not running, other Instant Capacity commands fail. The operations this daemon performs are vital in keeping the complexwide view of the Instant Capacity state current. The following entry is added to /etc/inittab in order to have start and respawn itself: icap:23456:respawn:/usr/lbin/icapd # Instant Capacity daemon This daemon is not started on hardware that is not supported under the Instant Capacity program. If is installed and running on a system with Instant Capacity components present (cores, cells, or memory), it sends daily asset report email to HP (if so configured), tracks tem- porary capacity, sends exception notifications, and maintains a healthy Instant Capacity state. For more information about the functions that performs for Instant Capacity systems, see the located at /usr/share/doc/icapUserGuide.pdf. The daemon reports errors via (see syslog(3C)). Exception notification email is sent to root and to the system contact email address (con- figured via the command (see icapmodify(1M)). The daemon performs periodic operations based on the time of day. The daemon is spawned by and gets its time zone specification from the /etc/default/tz file. By default, the time zone specified in /etc/default/tz is EST5EDT. You can specify which time zone the daemon uses to interpret its current time by modifying the /etc/default/tz file. For details about the time zone format, see environ(5). A restart of the daemon is required before the new time zone value takes effect (that is, kill the process). AUTHOR
