Additional software tools such as Nagios® and Cacti are packaged as software kits. Software packaged as a kit is easier to install onto a Red Hat HPC Cluster. A kit contains rpms for the software, rpms for meta-data and configuration files.

To install Cacti® onto the Red Hat HPC cluster use the following commands:

# yum install ocs-kit-cacti
		
# /opt/kusu/sbin/install-kit-cacti

To install Nagios® onto the Red Hat HPC cluster use the following commands:

# yum install ocs-kit-nagios
		
# /opt/kusu/sbin/install-kit-nagios

To see what kits are available use:

# yum search ocs-kit

The yum commands above download the respective kit downloaders from Red Hat Network. The kit downloaders are distinguished by the ocs-kit-* prefix. In the case of a download problem the kit downloaders can be safely re-run.

Included in the kit downloader RPM is an installation script that adds the kit to the Red Hat HPC cluster repository and rebuilds the cluster repository.

Every kit that is downloaded from Red Hat Network has a corresponding script used to install the kit into the cluster repository.
