PerfSONAR MDM Automatic Installation through package manager

If you wish to install perfSONAR MDM packages using automatic install from perfSONAR MDM repositories see adding repositories section

Currently only Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (and compatible) RPM packages are supported for these products. The BWCTL Measurement Point covers bandwidth testing and can be used as a standalone product with an underlying BWCTL installation, or in conjunction with a SQL MA to permanently store measurements performed through perfSONAR user interfaces. The HADES Server and Measurement Archive perform One Way Delay (OWD) measurements and come as coupled packages that should be installed in the order they are listed in. The server installation instructions also cover installation and configuration of the measurement endpoints.
