Running OpenSAF on Fedora14
Comments:
- You can probably disable SELinux during installation (but I forgot so I describe
howto disable it afterwards).
- By default OpenSAF uses MDS/TIPC as its internal messaging protocol. Since TIPC is
not enabled in Fedora kernels nor are the user space tools available. Let's configure
and use the new feature MDS/TCP. That simplifies things on Fedora.
Steps:
1. Install FC14 on some machine (I used VirtualBox)
2. Disable SeLinux and reboot (not needed if SELinux disabled at install)
- set the value of SELINUX in /etc/selinux/config to disabled
- reboot
3. Add OpenSAF repos to yum configuration: http://devel.opensaf.org/wiki/Yum
4. Install OpenSAF (as root):

5. Create /etc/opensaf/imm.xml as specified in /usr/share/opensaf/immxml/README.
Make sure to edit nodes.cfg, the line with SC-1, third column to match the short
hostname of the system.
6. Configure OpenSAF to use MDS/TCP:
- Go to /etc/opensaf
- Edit nodeinit.conf.controller and remove line with nid_tipc
- Edit nid.conf and set MDS_TRANSPORT=TCP
- Edit dtmd.conf and change DTM_NODE_IP to the IP address of the local/self node
- Create a custom login file for OpenSAF:
echo "export MDS_TRANSPORT=TCP" > /etc/profile.d/opensaf.sh
7. Start OpenSAF as root (or reboot):
[root@FC14-1 opensaf]# /etc/init.d/opensafd start Starting OpenSAF Services: [ OK ]
8. Check status:
[root@FC14-1 opensaf]# /etc/init.d/opensafd status
safSISU=safSu=SC-1\,safSg=NoRed\,safApp=OpenSAF,safSi=NoRed2,safApp=OpenSAF
saAmfSISUHAState=ACTIVE(1)
safSISU=safSu=SC-1\,safSg=2N\,safApp=OpenSAF,safSi=SC-2N,safApp=OpenSAF
saAmfSISUHAState=ACTIVE(1)
9. Do some stuff:
- For example examine IMM content with the imm* commands
- Add an application (to be described later)
