If you have 2 and more boxes with the same operating system or you want to speed up package downloads,
you can create a mirror server and set an alternative URL for package downloads in updater.
Important: Since H-Sphere 3.0, we introduce
http://mirror.psoft.net/ (Europe)
as an alternative location for PSoft documentation, installation and update scripts and packages.
You will be able to choose mirror.psoft.net for
H-Sphere installation or update
by setting the mirror parameter to [1] in the install/update script.
You can also download H-Sphere system packages manually from http://mirror.psoft.net/shiv/HS/
and its respective subdirectories.
On our website we have created a directory hierarchy for supported OS:
This hierarchy is formed by the cron script on psoft.net based on files with package listing
(pkglist, sspkglist, subpkglist, pkglist.priv)
for all H-Sphere versions HS 2.5.0/HS 2.5.1 accordinlgy.
To create a mirror:
- Configure apache on the box to be used as a mirror (example):
URL: http://mirror.server.com/HS will correspond to DocumentRoot: /var/www/psoft.net/HS/.
- Specify the OSCODE (the code of the operating system) you are configuring mirror for. To do this, run on every HS cluster box:
/hsphere/shared/bin/oscode
- Create corresponding sub-directories in DocumentRoot for the OSCODE(s) you arrange mirroring for.
For instance, if you have to create mirroring for boxes with OSCODE RHES4 i FBSD54, run:
mkdir -m 0755 /var/www/psoft.net/HS/RHES4
mkdir -m 0755 /var/www/psoft.net/HS/FBSD54
- Create corresponding cron tasks. For instance, mirroring for boxes with RHES4 and FBSD54 oscode for HS 2.5.1:
0 5 * * * (cd /var/www/psoft.net/HS/RHES4/; wget --mirror --limit-rate=45k -np -nH --cut-dirs=7 -erobots=off http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS/releases/U25.1/pkgs/RHES4/)
0 5 * * * (cd /var/www/psoft.net/HS/FBSD54/; wget --mirror --limit-rate=45k -np -nH --cut-dirs=7 -erobots=off http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS/releases/U25.1/pkgs/FBSD54/)
Note: you can change the wget format. For instance, if you don't have VPS servers,
you can run wget with --reject=hsphere-vps parameter
(--reject=LIST sets comma-separated list of rejected extensions).
- On all boxes where mirror server will be used, execute:
echo 'http://mirror.server.com/HS' >/hsphere/shared/etc/mirror
