STAR software specific instructions for Eucalyptus

From Doug Olson
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. # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/vda1 10321208 4363536 5433384 45% / /dev/vda2 9322300 52 8848700 1% /mnt /dev/vdb 51606140 10893984 38090716 23% /common /dev/vdc 30963708 189028 29201816 1% /home /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.
Quota on /project disk, from Eric
You can use prjquota to check the quotas on NFG (/project) like this:
pdsf4 88% prjquota star
------ Space (GB) ------- ----------- Inode -----------
Project Usage Quota InDoubt Usage Quota InDoubt
-------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
star 1011 1536 1 842365 1000000 1075
pdsf4 89%
So STAR has a quota of 1.5TB now.
Alternatives to scp
STAR users have access to /project/projectdirs/star and this area is visible from all NERSC systems (both carver and PDSF and the data transfer nodes). Best way to transfer data from BNL to the project area would be through the data transfer nodes: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/systems/datatran/ but there are lots of options.
From Matt - how to add cron tab job
Here are some commands for inserting things into cron. There is a directory called /etc/cron.daily which where you can put scripts that will run once per day. For instance, you can put a controller script doResetDB.sh in that directory that runs resetDB.sh with the right arguments. Make sure to make it executable. You can control when the script will run by editing the line in /etc/crontab that says "run-parts /etc/cron.daily". I didn't look in any of your machines, but the ones I have are setup to run at 4:02 every morning. Controlling this behavior is as easy as moving the script in and out of the /etc/cron.daily directory.
