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
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
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.
This can be installed from the same folder used to install the torque server. It is easiest to mount the torque directory from the server node. PBS_mom can be built and installed using the make file. THe read me provides full details as to how to achieve this.
PBS_mom will need several packages in order to install. Due to the version of centos, many of these packages are now in the centos vault. There are several ways in which these packages can be installed, but this will depend on hos the system is set up.
Starting LifeScope
The LifeScope server must be started on the system. To start the server run the command:
lscope-server.sh startTo 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
