Code Block
the headnode is running at 128.55.56.51.
It has a copy of the /common and /home fs from the other image
taken last night.

/dev/vdd             103212320    192252  97777188   1% /data

The idea is to share /common, /home and /data across the
worker nodes. So if you want to set up some things for the
cluster this will be the one to use.

Hi Jan,
In my home directory on carver, there is a script called doDownloads.sh. This script is what needs to 
be run. Right now it runs on cvrsvc03. It sleeps for 24 hours, then runs a script called 
downloadSnapshot.sh in the same location.

Best,
Matt

Direct upload of DB snapshot from RCF

Code Block

assuming you have curl installed, here is a safe one-liner to
download snapshots :

curl -s --retry 60 --retry-delay 60 http://www.star.bnl.gov/dsfactory/
--output snapshot.tgz

It will automatically retry 503 errors 60 times, waiting 60 seconds
between attempts. Should be safe enough to add it to VMs directly..

"-s" means silent => no output at all. You may want to remove this
switch while you test..

share data with STAR members

setfacl -m g:rhstar:x  /global/scratch/sd/balewski - this is dangerous

  • Running Interactive Jobs on Carver
    You can run an xterm in batch by doing a "qsub -I -q regular ...."

http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/systems/carver/running_jobs/interactive.php
Note that interactive jobs do not have to go to the interactive queue.

E.g. in side screen run this command (1 node, 1 core)

qsub -I -V -q interactive -l nodes=1:ppn=1 

brings you in to another shell which is treated as batch but is interactive.
