Windows NT
Installation and Maintenance Strategies
"We even accept the fact that we occasionally need to completely re-install the
desktop OS and all of our applications, and restore all personal files from the latest
backup." Mark Hall and Ralph Barker "The Death of the Desktop", Performance
Computing, August 1998
Our first strategy is to make the installation and re-installation of WinNT and
application software from scratch to be as simple and rapid a process as possible.
We are using Ghost to save and load disk images on our AFS (Andrew File System,
Transarc) fileserver via Samba, a public domain SMB server running under UNIX.
We have successfully deployed 8 of these machines and can re-install to an identical
configuration quickly. However, this plan has run into a fatal flaw. New machines arriving
have slightly different hardware configurations. A simple revision update in the ethernet
controller rendered the boot disk inoperative. Once that was fixed a similar revision
change in the SCSI controller made the previous images useless.
We are now working on a strategy that combines an installation "recipe",
remote-distribution and an image. With this we will come up with a well defined minimal
set of instructions that can be used to completely reinstall the OS. From this minimal
installation we will run remote-distribution software (PcRdist) that will use a
pull-mechanism to download various packages and configure the system and registry for
printers and other resources. Finally we will make an image of this install and save it
for later reinstallation as needed.
Facility Integration
CCMR Computing Facility is based on UNIX (AIX, SunOS, IRIX, Linux) servers and clients.
Work is progressing on developing tools and techniques to integrate NT into this
structure. We are using Transarc Corporation's AFS
(Andrew File System) client for WinNT to leverage our existing AFS based file service,
backup, authentication, and administration infrastructure for WinNT. We have
purchased and installed NT-AFS for this purpose.
File Service
In contrast to NFS (Network File System) which is stateless and relies on local system
caching, AFS uses it's own caching mechanism to keep frequently used files local to the
client. This has the potential to greatly reduce network traffic and improve performance.
Only the software that is used on that workstation is actually local to that station.
However, additional memory overhead is significant and the type of files being accessed,
many small or a few large files, can affect performance. Also, the initial access on a
file takes longer as the client retrieves the file from the server and is placed into the
client's local AFS caching system.
We are looking into the performance of this versus NT Server, Samba and local file
access. We have seen some very irradic performance while exploring disks on the server. We
are concerned about the interaction between the NT file cache and the AFS file cache. Both
are in memory, both are essentially doing the same thing but with different mechanisms.
Authentication
For authentication we are experimenting with a GINA (Graphical Identification aNd
Authentication?) replacement developed at Notre Dame. It is not desirable to
maintain separate authentication systems for NT and UNIX for 500 users. The ND_GINA enables WinNT to use
AFS Kerberos authentication for login. Roaming profiles are stored in each user's
AFS home directory. By executing several scripts at boot time and login/logout time,
the ND_GINA also provides an infrastructure for workstation administration (see printing
below for example). For other GINA projects, see the MIT NT GINA Information Website.
So far, we have modified, built, and installed the ND_GINA. We have demonstrated
that authentication, fileserver access, and roaming profiles work. Three
workstations are available for users, an other is being used by the CCMR Ion
Beam Facility. Full-scale deployment is awaiting completion of development and
implementation of our WinNT installation strategy mentioned above.
A signficant problem is the inconsistancy of the AFS home directory access and
subsequent absence of the user's profile. NT-AFS 3.4a patch 10 has recently come out and
may solve this problem. Not enough testing has been done to determine this yet.
Printing
Printing within CCMR is accounted. Therefore login and authentication are an issue on
each system. For NT were are using lpr configured print services. This is being managed by
the GINA modifications and PcRdist so that as printers are removed or installed the user's
view, Printer Folder, is kept current.
Software
We are using Hummingbird's Exceed Software
for Xwindow client access to our UNIX systems. We have also installed Microsoft Suite
provided to the Intel grant equipment by a grant from Microsoft. Currently we have not
installed any specific scientific software on these systems. We have purchased IDL, a
visualization package and have licenses for Abaqus, finite element modelling, and the
Portland Group FORTRAN compiler which is essential for the migration of some software.
Utilization
Lam/Ast - Micro Electro Mechanical/Optical System
simulations. This kind
of simulation uses finite element or finite difference software. We have written a FORTRAN
program to do finite difference time domain simulations. A 2-D simulation takes up 128M
RAM. We hope to do 3-D simulations soon. Recently our group started using SUPREME and
PISCES simulators. Both of the simulation packages require at least 64M RAM to only to
start running. To use its graphical display at the same time an analysis is running
requires significant CPU and video capabilities and was not possible on existing PC
equipment.
Revesz -
Development of remote access capability to the CCMR Ion Beam facility.
Facility User Room
- 3 NT machines are available for users in the computing facilities general user rooms.
IRG2
/ Ast Install and maintain a
datebase on glass. A commercial package containing 38,000 data has been located.
Linux
Installation and Maintenance Strategies
We had a small installed base of Linux systems running on Intel systems. With the
increase in numbers we have developed a more complete installation strategy for Linux on
Intel architecture workstations. Like WinNT this involves an installation recipe
that can be easily followed. We had developed a system configuration strategy for other
UNIX variants and we modified that to handle the addition of Linux. Unlike NT where most
system settings are in the registry, these modifications are spread across many files.
However, these files are text based, easily modified with standard UNIX utilities and we
have years of expertise in handling this. UNIX is inherently multi-user so the system
needs no special software for handling setup upon login for individuals. Most software is
located on the AFS fileserver so updates appear via the network without a specific
distribution mechanism.
We are finding that recent Linux packages like that coming from RedHat are including more software pre-installed with
conflicts with some of our fileserver versions. This will require us to reevaluate where
this software should reside and how it will be kept current.
Facility Integration
File Service
We are using the MIT AFS client for Linux .
This is public domain and unsupported by Transarc. Transarc has recenlty announced support
of an AFS client for Linux 2.2. This client is still in beta test and we are currently
using Linux 2.0. We plan on shifting to this in the 3rd quarter of 1999. See the section
of File Service under Windows NT for a description of AFS.
Authentication
Login is authticated against the AFS Kerberos server and allows full facility access.
Printing
Because Linux uses BSD lpr print services and configuration it integrates quickly and
seemlessly into our current environment.
Computation
Six of the Intel Grant workstations are available as compute servers using the Distributed Queuing System from Florida
State University which we also use for our IBM/AIX and SGI/IRIX systems . These
compute servers are available to our entire 500 user faculty and graduate student research
community. This allows the user to send long jobs to several machines that will run
unattended and may take from hours to weeks for completion.
Software
We have also acquired, built, and installed a large selection of data analysis and graphics
software for the Linux/Intel platform. In addition to our standard UNIX supported
software we have purchased IDL, a visualization package and have licenses for the Portland
Group FORTRAN compiler which is essential for the migration of some software.
Utilization
Schwarz
- Numerical computation and graphics using Matlab
Sachse
- Preparation of papers and presentations for scientific publication using TeX
Johnson -
Investigations into solid hydrogen using VASP (Vienna
Ab-Initio Simulation Package). It does first-principles quantum mechanics
calculations for solids and liquids. The ab-initio calculation is a very standard
computational tool in physics these days. Much of this work has been done using
AIX/IBM-RS6000 and IRIX/SGI-PowerOnyx.
Pomeroy / IRG3 IRG3 uses
scanning and scattering probes to characterize thin films, producing real space and
momentum space (respectively) images and lineshapes. Extraction of quantitative
information from these images often requires intense image analysis, including lineshape
fitting of data Careful tuning and iteration of our fitting routines (a streamlined
Mathematica notebook) allows us to quantitatively corroborate data from real and momentum
space (STM and CHESS), as well as have the power and versatility to make on-the-fly
corrections to experimental procedure based on the information extracted. We propose
to use this computer to enhance our ability and efficiency to perform this analysis.
Facility User Room
- 3 Linux machines are available for users in the computing facilities general user rooms.
Networking
The 100 MB switched network now includes our general user rooms in both Clark and
Thurston Halls. Our current bottleneck is in the infrastructure wiring to the offices,
labs and the building. Cornell Information Technologies is planning to offer 100 MB
connections in the Summer of 1999.
100 MB switched Ethernet has been installed in our central computer rooms at both the
Clark Hall and the Thurston Hall sites. This is helping to relieve the network congestion
that having many fast Intel computers can create, and to improve throughput. Further
testing needs to be done.

Performance
We have only begun to compare performance between Intel and other systems running as
well as NT versus Linux. We expect to do this on standard applications that are used under
normal operating conditions, i.e. network and normal services running. We are currently
compiling this information and will be updating the results shortly.

available to users and is being actively used. Full-scale deployment is
