Security Notes

ZeptoOS is completely configurable. You may choose to allow user login access, or restrict it. However you configure ZeptoOS, it is important to note that the default configuration from IBM is for the I/O Nodes to NFS mount the /bgl file system with full root privileges. This means that anyone who has root access on the I/O nodes can modify everything on the NFS server. On our machine, we have modified the service node to export /bgl read-only, without observing any adverse effects on the I/O nodes.

Configuring the Build

Configuration

Download the bzipped file on the Bluegene/P login node. Extract the sources by using:

$ tar xjf zeptoos-20.tar.bz2 

Change to the BGP top directory using:

$ cd BGP/

Then you can use the configure script to set the system tools path to default using:

$ ./configure

In order to configure the site specific paths using the tool use:

$ ./configure --edit


Make

Typing

make help

will bring up the following menu:

[MENU]

make                             - Build Zepto kernel and ramdisk images

make bgp-ion-ramdisk             - Rebuild ION ramdisk for CNK
make bgp-ion-ramdisk-cnl         - Rebuild ION ramdisk for CNL
make bgp-cn-ramdisk-build        - Rebuild CN Kernel with new ramdisk

make bgp-ion-linux               - Use prebuilt ION Linux Image
make bgp-ion-linux-build         - Rebuild ION Linux Image
make bgp-cn-linux                - Use prebuilt CN Linux Image
make bgp-cn-linux-build          - Rebuild CN Linux Image with latest ramdisk

make bgp-all-pkg-smart           - Build packages from the prebuilt binaries
make bgp-all-pkg-rebuild         - Rebuild all packages from source
