Installing BioHPC on cluster
- Install files on head node (or server)
- A network drive accessible from nodes and
servers is required for file sharing. The drive designation
should be H.
Set up the H: drive on the file server (which may be the same as
the web
server or head node), export it for IDU. Files will be stored in
H\CBSU directory.
- Copy files/directories from distribution directory network_drive to H:\CBSU
- Install and configure nodes for BioHPC
- Copy the install_node directory from
the distribution to the head node. Export this directory to the
nodes (only required for installation).
- Edit install_node scripts install.bat, set_perm.bat,
install_cygwin.bat and install_java.bat. There are several parameters that need to be
set like server names, path to install_node directory.
- Create local drives on the nodes for local file storage and
scratch space. Recommended name is T:, but it can be any local
directory or drive, it will mapped to
T: as required. This drive (or directory) must be exported with
full
access rights for IDU in order to use BLAST database propagation
tools. Exported share name should be t-drive.
- Run script install.bat on the
nodes. The script can be run via CCS/HPC feature "Run on node".
The script must be run as administrator.
- Run script install_cygwin.bat on the
nodes. The script can be run via CCS/HPC feature "Run on node".
The script must be run as administrator.
- Run script install_java.bat on the
nodes. The script can be run via CCS/HPC feature "Run on node".
The script must be run as administrator.
