<strong>
<strong style="font-weight: bold;"><strong>BOINC and SETI@home quick install
guide for HPUX</strong></strong></strong><br>
<br>
From Lars Bausch
<br>
<strong><br>
<strong>0. Releases </strong></strong><br>
<br>
There are some different depots for specifiy (optimized) plattforms
available :<br>
<br>
- seti-boinc_parisc_32.depot.gz : 32 Bit PARISC (PARISC 1.1
CPUs, aka PARISC <br>
7x00 and 2.0 8x00 CPUs (aka PARISC 2.0). Runs on 64 Bit
also, The seti app <br>
is 20 % slower than the 64 bit optimized binary). Should
also run on IA64 <br>
(Itanium), but very slow. HPUX 11.x (11.0, 11.11 (11i
Version 1) and 11.23 (<br>
11i Version 2)<br>
<br>
- seti-boinc_parisc_64.depot.gz : 64 bit for PARISC 8x00 (aka
PARISC 2.0). <br>
Should run slow on IA64. HPUX 11.x (11.0, 11.11 (11i
Version 1) and 11.23 (<br>
11i Version 2)<br>
<br>
- seti-boinc_ia64_32.depot.gz : 32 bit for Itanium on HPUX 11.2x
(11i Version <br>
1 and Version 2).<br>
<br>
>From more informations about the defintion from
workstation/server/model to <br>
architecure and cpu version look at /usr/bin/sched.models.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><strong>1. Install the package</strong></strong><br>
<br>
<strong>1.1 Install with swinstall</strong><br>
<br>
Unzip the depot package : <br>
gunzip
seti-boinc_32.depot.gz <br>
<br>
Swinstall the depot <br>
swinstall -s
$PATH_TO_BOINC_DEPOT/seti-boinc_32.depot \* <br>
<br>
Source your /etc/profile with the new entries required for boinc and
seti : <br>
. /etc/profi<strong>le<br>
<br>
<br>
1.2 Install not via swinstall</strong><br>
<br>
If you don't wan't to intstall the binaries with swinstall. i<br>
<br>
gunzip seti-boinc_parisc-64_1.4.depot.gz<br>
<br>
tar -xvf seti-boinc_parisc-64_1.4.depot<br>
<br>
cp -R seti-boinc_64/*/opt/boinc /opt/<br>
<br>
cp ./catalog/seti-boinc_64/SETI_BOINC-LIB/postinstall /opt/boinc<br>
-> now you can make a tar file for example, from
the destination directory <br>
/opt/boinc to copy it to other
sytems, or move wherever you want. <br>
<br>
Add this to /etc/profile, or the in the profile of the user : <br>
SHLIB_PATH=$DESTINATION_DIR_FROM_BOINC/lib:$SHLIB_PATH<br>
-> for example
SHLIB_PATH=/home/seti/lib <br>
export SHLIB-PATH<br>
<br>
Source your /etc/profile, with the new entries required for boinc and
seti : <br>
. /etc/profile<br>
<small><br>
<br>
</small><br>
<strong><strong>2. add a group and a user</strong> </strong><br>
<br>
Don't run the boinc client and seti app as root !<br>
<br>
This steps require a root account :<br>
<br>
Add a group (groupadd -g $GROUPID $GROUPNAME ) : <br>
groupadd -g 200 seti<br>
<br>
Add a user (useradd -u $USERID -g $GROUPID -d $HOMEDIRECTORY
$USERNAME) : <br>
useradd -u 200 -g 200
-d /opt/boinc seti<br>
<br>
Change the password for you new user (passwd $USERNAME):<br>
passwd seti<br>
<br>
Change the owner and group for the boinc directory, where the client is
located (<br>
chown $USERNAME:$GROUPNAME $SETIDIRECTORY)<br>
chown seti:seti /opt/boinc<br>
<br>
Feel free to change the directories, if you want... <br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><br>
<strong>3. Register your Account for seti@home</strong></strong><br>
<br>
You can use the standard registration mechanism within the client : <br>
./boinc_client
-attach_project setiweb.berkeley.edu $ACCOUNT_KEY<br>
<br>
If this don't work, whis workaround helps :<br>
<br>
Change $ACCOUNT_KEY in the file
/opt/boinc/account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml<br>
in the key you get from email from the seti@home project. <br>
Edit line 3, and do not set any blanks before or after the key. <br>
<br>
<account><br>
<master_url>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/</master_url><br>
<authenticator>$ACCOUNT_KEY</authenticator><br>
<project_name>SETI@home</project_name><br>
<host_venue>home</host_venue><br>
<project_preferences><br>
</project_preferences><br>
</account><br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><br>
<strong>4. Start client and seti app</strong></strong><br>
<br>
Login as your new user, and start the boinc_client : <br>
<br>

<br>
If you get some SIGSEGV from the boinc_client or setiathome app at <br>
HPUX 11.11(11i V.1), it could be, that you will need some additional
patches. <br>
Look at 6.2.<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><strong><br>
5. Installation finished. </strong></strong><br>
<br>
If you have some problems, try a look in the forum of the setiathome
website (<br>
setiweb.berkeley.edu) or Paul Bucks excelent documentations
(www.boinc-doc.net)<br>
If you have some problems with the hpux binary, feel free, to contact
me. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><strong>6. Additional Configurations </strong> </strong><br>
<br>
<strong>6.1 Multi processor systems </strong><br>
<br>
For muli processor systems, you need to setup the preferences on your
account <br>
page. If this is not configured, your multi processor system will only
use one <br>
cpu.<br>
<br>
At the seti homepage (setiweb.berkeley.edu) login with your account.<br>
Click to "View or edit general preferences". Then to "Edit preferences"<br>
Add in the section "On multiprocessors, use at most XX processors" the
number <br>
of CPUs your system have, and click to "Update preferences".<br>
<br>
Now, you need to update your client with the new preferences you made
on the <br>
website :<br>
seti@windu:/opt/boinc # ./boinc_client -update_prefs
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu<br>
<br>
You client will download some new work...<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<strong><br>
6.2.5 HPUX 10.20 </strong><br>
<br>
Not tested, but the binaries should run successfull.<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong>6.3 Kernel Parameters</strong><br>
<br>
The binaries will run with the default HPUX Kernel parameters. But if
you wan't<br>
to use more than one Application or have some special things running on
your<br>
system, you should have a look at your kernelparameters.<br>
<br>
Changing some kernelparameters will increase the perfomance of the
whole system.<br>
Some kernelparameters which should changed to increase performance :<br>
maxfiles 1024<br>
maxuprc 256 <br>
maxdsiz_64bit 0X40000000<br>
maxfiles 1024<br>
maxssiz 0X4000000<br>
maxssiz_64bit 0X4000000<br>
maxtsiz 0X4000000<br>
maxtsiz_64bit 0X40000000<br>
shmmax 0X4000000<br>
maxusers 128 or higher for
Servers (256..512). But a good start for a <br>
workstation) <br>
<br>
<br>
<strong>6.4 Startup script </strong><br>
<br>
In /sbin/init.d is a script for start boinc at boot and stop for
shutdown. <br>
It's linked to /sbino/rc3.d/S990boinc. <br>
It will also redirect stdout and stderr from the boinc client, redirect
the <br>
output from the boinc script /opt/boinc/boinc.sh to
/opt/boinc/boinc.log. The <br>
script will keep on boinc running in a look, and could mail you, if
boinc was<br>
terminated abnormaly.<br>
This script is configurable by /etc/rc.config.d/boinc. For details how
to <br>
configure, please look into /etc/rc.config.d/boinc. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><strong>7. Additional notes</strong></strong><br>
<br>
This quick install guide is available as "readme" in the swpackage, and
if you <br>
have installed it under /opt/boinc/doc/install.<br>
In /opt/boinc/doc there are some further readmes about the boinc client
and <br>
seti app.<br>
