Prerequisite Summary for Linux and Intel

2.3.5.1 HPSS/XFS HDM Machine
1. Linux kernel 2.4.18 or later (Available via FTP from
linux/kernel/v2.4)
2. Linux XFS 1.1 (Available via FTP as a 2.4.18 kernel patch at
projects/xfs/download/Release-1.1/kernel_patches)
3. Userspace packages (Available via FTP as RPMs or tars from
projects/xfs/download/Release-1.1/cmd_rpms
projects/xfs/download/Release-1.1/cmd_tars, respectively):
acl-2.0.9-0
acl-devel-2.0.9-0
attr-2.0.7-0
attr-devel-2.0.7-0
dmapi-2.0.2-0
dmapi-devel-2.0.2-0
xfsdump-2.0.1-0
xfsprogs-2.0.3-0
xfsprogs-devel-2.0.3-0
4. HPSS Kernel Patch
It will also be necessary to apply patch xfs-2.4.18-1 to the kernel after applying the XFS 1.1
patch. This addresses a problem found after XFS 1.1 was released. The procedure for
applying this patch is outlined in Section 3.9.1: Apply the HPSS Linux XFS Patch on page
194.
5. C compiler
For XFS HDM machines, it will be necessary to update the main kernel makefile (usually
found in /usr/src/linux/Makefile). The default compiler that the makefile uses, gcc, needs
to be replaced with kgcc. Simply comment-out the line that reads:
CC
And uncomment the line that reads:
CC
52
= $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc
= $(CROSS_COMPILE)kgcc
