Important Points

  • LifeScope will only install on Centos 5.x.
  • Life Scope should only be install on one node, and then mounted on all other nodes.
  • The Torque / Maui Server should be installed on the same node as life scope, pbs_mom should then be installed on the other nodes.


LifeScope Installation

Compute Nodes

Add user lifescope to the system, make sure the uid an gid are the same across all the systems. mount the home directory of the lifescope user to the node.


Torque Installation

Server

Compute

Each of the compute nodes needs to have pbs_mom installed and started on it. The pbs_mom is used to communicated with the torque server to accept jobs.



Starting LifeScope

The LifeScope server must be started on the system. To start the server run the command:

lscope-server.sh start

To confirm it has started correctly:

ps -ef | grep WebServer


Verifying Installation

Download the life scope examples. There are examples that can be run to verify LifeScope:

demos - a run that lasts for 30 mins. The demo must be run as the lifescope user, or a user set up to use lifescope. To run the demo navigate to the examples/demos director and run:

./runall.sh -u username
