4.6. Reconfiguring SE/bestman

A initial configuration of Bestman server is done during the kickstart install, the resulting configuration files are /etc/bestman2/conf/bestman2.rc and /etc/sysconfig/bestman2. This configuration is based on available information at install. To reconfigure a bestman node after changes on any attribute that build those files requires rebuild the configuration by running the rocks command.

# rocks sync host osg bestman <hostname>

This will rewrite /etc/bestman2/conf/bestman2.rc, /etc/sysconfig/bestman2,

To view the script of changes for the files before making changes, use rocks report host osg bestman config <hostname>

To generate the script, login on the Bestman node and run rocks report host osg bestman config <hostname> | rocks report script | bash the output script will be writen in /root/BestmanConfigurator

In case Bestman was not installed at kickstart, it is possible to install in a node or appliance after kickstart by setting OSG_SE to true on a host or appliance and then syncing as shown below

# rocks set host attr <hostname> OSG_SE value=true
# rocks sync host osg bestman install <hostname>

To find information about bestman configuration please see the OSG documentation at OSG twiki page.
