IA64 Software has been installed in /usr/local/pkg-ia64 and (apart from aE34-500-641 where the original /usr/local has been retained), IA64 nodes see the IA32 /usr/local. In the case of aE34-500-641 a symbolic link for pkg and pkg-ia64 has been created linking to the NFS mounted directories from geojr.
1. NodesThe following nodes are running a patched 2.4.21 kernel with SCORE and perfmon patches. Because of a known issue with 2.4.21 kernels on NPTL systems such as RH EL AS3 we've had to disable the salinfod service on these nodes to avoid filling up the error logs and having the daemon hog up a cpu 100% of the time. This should be fixed eventually.

2. RPMs
The contents of the 4 Red Hat EL AS 3.0 for IA64 CDs have been mounted from itrda on aE34-500-641 as /tmp/d1 to /tmp/d4 and symbolic links to all rpms have been created in /tmp/dall.
The following commands were used to install all necessary extra software:
Prepare the distribution directories:
~ce107/bin/mountISOs
mkdir /tmp/dall
cd /tmp/dall
ln -s ../d1/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm .
ln -s ../d2/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm .
ln -s ../d3/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm .
ln -s ../d4/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm .
