Talk:Setting up an NG2

From BeSTGRID

I'm thinking of splitting PBS and SGE configuration components into sub-headings e.g.

Contents

[edit] Setting up Local Resource Manager Access

intro

[edit] Setting up PBS/Torque

PBS stuff

[edit] Setting up Sun Grid Engine

SGE stuff

I was more thinking of having a separate page for each LRM

Page: Setting up LRM access for PBS/Torque Page: Setting up LRM access for SGE

And each of these pages would have sections corresponding relevant parts of the current NG2 page.

This would leave space for going into high level of detail on each LRM specific page.

The NG2 page would maybe have a very brief overview, and would link into the relevant sections on the LRM specific pages.

Does that sound reasonable?

I hope to get to dissecting the PBS parts out of the NG2 page (and thus create a template page) early next week.

[edit] Splitting localSoftware.xml into many application specific files

I've been considering the merits of adding a directory to the config file that processes all .xml files. This way we have a directory containing:

R.xml
Rmpi-snow.xml
python-2.6.xml
python-3.0.xml

i.e. one file per application.

I think this will make it easier to configure each application.

[edit] Can be done

While MIP does not support having a config file directory, you could be at least statically including a number of files.

In your /usr/local/mip/config/<cluster>_<subcluster>_SIP.ini, you can be defining multiple sources - the default one is as below and you can have more of them: 

[source2]
uri: file:softwareInfoData/ngcompute-localSoftware.xml
format: APACGLUE1.2
