Installing and Compiling Mankai Common Lisp on CentOS 5

ManKai Common Lisp (MKCL) aims to be a full implementation of the Common Lisp language in compliance with the ANSI X3J13 Common Lisp standard.

MKCL supports the operating systems Linux and Microsoft Windows, running on top of Intel x86 or AMD64 compatible processors.

For more information on installation of MKCL, do look at http://common-lisp.net/project/mkcl/

Do note that Starting with MKCL 1.1.0, MKCL requires the platform supplied GMP library, and GMP development version when compiling MKCL from its sources.

Installing GMP can be taken from a section Compiling GNU 4.7.2 on CentOS 5

GMP
  Download the following prerequistics applications libraries from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/
1. Install gmp-4.3.2

# bunzip2 gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
# tar -zxvf gmp-4.3.2.tar
# cd gmp-4.3.2
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gmp-4.3.2
# make
# make install

Update your .bashrc

.....
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/gmp-4.3.2/lib........

    - Updated to hwloc v1.9

* Bug-Fixes (since 2.0rc1):
    - Fix multicast hang when there is a single process on one node
      and more than one process on other nodes
    - Fix non-power-of-two usage of scatter-doubling-allgather algorithm
    - Fix for bcastzero type hang during finalize
    - Enhanced handling of failures in RDMA_CM based
      connection establishment

    - Finish receive request when RDMA READ completes in RGET protocol
    - Always use direct RDMA when flush is used
    - Fix compilation error with --enable-g=all in PSM interface
    - Fix warnings and memory leaks

MVAPICH2-X 2.0rc2 software package provides support for hybrid MPI+PGAS (UPC and OpenSHMEM) programming models with unified communication runtime for emerging exascale systems. This software package provides flexibility for users to write applications using the following programming models with a unified communication runtime: MPI, MPI+OpenMP, pure UPC, and pure OpenSHMEM programs as well as hybrid MPI(+OpenMP) + PGAS (UPC and OpenSHMEM) programs.

Features and enhancements for MVAPICH2-X 2.0rc2 (since MVAPICH2-X 2.0rc1) are as follows:

* Features and Enhancements (since 2.0rc1):
    - MPI Features
        - Based on MVAPICH2 2.0rc2 (OFA-IB-CH3 interface)

    - Unified Runtime Features
        - Based on MVAPICH2 2.0rc2 (OFA-IB-CH3 interface). All the
          runtime features enabled by default in OFA-IB-CH3 interface
          of MVAPICH2 2.0rc2 are available in MVAPICH2-X 2.0rc2

For downloading MVAPICH2 2.0rc2 and MVAPICH2-X 2.0rc2, associated user guides, quick start guide, and accessing the SVN, please visit the following URL: http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu

Quick Check to identify broken disk for NetApp Ontall 8.2p2 Cluster mode

1. Identify the Cluster Nodes

My-NetApp-Cluster::> cluster show

Node                  Health  Eligibility
--------------------- ------- ------------
cluster1-01      true    true
cluster1-02      true    true
cluster1-03      true    true
cluster1-04      true    true
4 entries were displayed.

2. Check for Broken Disk

My-NetApp-Cluster::> run -node cluster1-01 vol status -f
RAID Disk Device   HA  SHELF BAY CHAN Pool Type  RPM  Used (MB/blks)    Phys (MB/blks)
--------- ------   ------------- ---- ---- ---- ----- --------------    --------------
failed   0a.00.12 0a    0   12  SA:A   -  BSAS  7200 1695466/3472315904 1695759/3472914816

Assigning ownership to disks for NetApp Storage

After replacing broken disks for NetApp Storage and if you want to manually assigned ownership back to the newly replaced but assigned disks, you can use the following command

1. Show Storage Ownership Information

My-NetApp-Cluster::> storage disk show -spare
Original Owner: acai-cluster1-01
  Checksum Compatibility: block
                                                            Usable Physical
    Disk            HA Shelf Bay Chan   Pool  Type    RPM     Size     Size Owner
    --------------- ------------ ---- ------ ----- ------ -------- -------- --------
    cluster1-01:0b.00.9
                    0b     0   9    B  Pool0  BSAS   7200   1.62TB   1.62TB cluster1-01
Original Owner: cluster1-02
  Checksum Compatibility: block
                                                            Usable Physical
    Disk            HA Shelf Bay Chan   Pool  Type    RPM     Size     Size Owner
    --------------- ------------ ---- ------ ----- ------ -------- -------- --------
    cluster1-02:0a.00.7
                    0a     0   7    B  Pool0  BSAS   7200   1.62TB   1.62TB cluster1-02
.....
.....

2. Display all unowned disks by entering the following command:

My-NetApp-Cluster::> storage disk show -container-type unassigned


                     Usable           Container
Disk                   Size Shelf Bay Type        Position   Aggregate Owner
---------------- ---------- ----- --- ----------- ---------- --------- --------
cluster1-01:0b.00.9
                     1.62TB     0   9 spare       present    -         cluster1-01
cluster1-02:0a.00.7
                     1.62TB     0   7 spare       present    -         cluster1-02

3. Assign each disk by entering the following command

My-NetApp-Cluster::> storage disk assign -disk cluster1-01:0b.00.9 -owner cluster1-01
