I signed up here to start the RAC Attack - Oracle Cluster Database at Home book.
I occasionally hang out on FreeNode as the user cheboygan. In addition to the Yahoo ID in my userbox, I'm also available for chat on AIM, GTalk, MSN and ICQ.
Books[edit | edit source]
I steal good ideas from these wikibooks.
- Blender 3D: Noob to Pro - great organization for collaborative project
- Using SPSS and PASW - lots of fair use screenshots
- Engineering Acoustics - nice cover
- European History - nice navigation
- LaTeX
Links[edit | edit source]
- Special:Upload
- Template:Navbox
- {{tl}}
- Book Tool
- Collection Extension Wishlist
- mwlib.rl git repo
- PediaPress Bug Tracking (Trac)
- User:Derbeth/javaLatex - might have to use this if I can't get the built-in PDF rendering to work satisfactorily
Notes[edit | edit source]
RAC Attack on EC2
- Research
- XEN/KVM virt doesn't seem possible on EC2 (which is xen-based)
- LXC/VServer/OpenVZ containers don't support some kernel-level operations (modules, etc) - not sure if this would be a problem, but so much of clusterware runs as root... seems risky to me. also i think we lose a little of the teaching value since the setup becomes less and less like any possible real-life scenario.
- QEMU is way slow - i don't think it's feasable
- Currently I think UML is best bet
- SCAS patches are not yet included in any kernels (ubuntu or vanilla)
- Will try without patching host first, for simplicity. I think performance with guest-only SCAS will be sufficient for educational uses. (When I first started doing RAC on VMs it was before x86 instruction set even had virt extensions.)
- Will use vnc more for graphical network install/kickstart
- Thinking vncserver (not xhost) for graphical environment after startup
- Include instructions for putty with port forwarding
- SCAS patches are not yet included in any kernels (ubuntu or vanilla)
