3 Release Notes
The following release notes apply to OSCAR version 2.0b1:
- All nodes must have a hostname other than ``localhost''
that does not contain any underscores (``_'').
- A domain name must be specified for the client nodes when
defining them.
- The current version of C3 that is shipped with OSCAR requires
Python 2.x. The Python 2.x RPMs that are provided in OSCAR are
re-built to work on RedHat 7.1 as well as RedHat 7.2. However,
RedHat 7.2 ships with Python 2.x, so measures were taken such that
the OSCAR-shipped Python 2.x RPM will not be installed over the
default RedHat 7.x RPM (specifically, the RPM release number has
been decremented). Due to some distribution portability issues,
OSCAR currently installs a ``compatibility''
(python2-compat-1.0-1) RPM to resolve the Python2
prerequisite that is slightly different across different Linux
distributions. Also see the file
packages/c3/RPMS/NOTE.python2.
- In some cases, the test window that is opened from the
OSCAR wizard may close suddenly when there is a test failure. If
this happens, run the test script, testing/test_cluster_as_root,
manually in a shell window to diagnose the problem.
