Installing the documentation
#rpm
This will copy all the necessary files to /opt/parastation and the kernel modules to /lib/modules/ kernelversion/kernel/drivers/net/ps4.
On a frontend node or file server, the
To enable the ParaStation version of the e1000 or bcm5700 network drivers, rename (or delete) the original version of this driver in use which is typically located in the system directory /lib/modules/ kernelversion/kernel/kernel/drivers/net/e1000 or bcm, respectively. See modinfo e1000 for details. The module dependency database must be rebuild using the command depmod. See Section 4.2, “Enable optimized network drivers”for details.
It is not required to use the ParaStation version of the e1000 or bcm5700 driver, as the p4sock protocol of ParaStation is able to use every network driver within the Linux kernel. However, to increase performance and to minimize latency, it's highly recommended.
Using the provided drivers does not influence other network communication.
While installing the ParaStation management RPM, the file /etc/xinetd/psidstarter is installed. This enables remote startup of ParaStation daemons using the xinetd(8).
The xinetd daemon will be triggered to read this file by executing:
/etc/init.d/xinetd reload
Refer to Section 5.22, “Changing the default ports for psid(8)”on how to change the default network port used by the psid(8).
In case the system still uses the older xinet(8) server to startup network services, please add the following lines to /etc/services:
#
#ParaStation daemon
psid stream tcp nowait root /opt/parastation/bin/psid psid
Add the next lines to /etc/inetd.conf:
# | ParaStation entries | ||
psid | 888/tcp | # ParaStation Daemon Start Port | |
# | end of ParaStation entries | ||

3.4. Installing the documentation
The ParaStation5 documentation is delivered in three formats: As PDF files, a browseable HTML documentation and manual pages for all ParaStation5 commands and configuration files.
In order to install the documentation files an up to date version of the documentation package psdoc has to be retrieved. It can be found in the download section of the ParaStation homepage. The package is called psdoc and the architecture is noarch, since this part is platform independent. The name of this package follows the conventions of all other packages building the ParaStation5 distribution.
To install the package, simply execute
