Yesterday I posted a problem with the hpc-toolset-tutorial demo that I was trying to run on AWS. Today I have it running on my own machine so I am able to access it using localhost.
But I have another problem with setting up ColdFront which is apparently necessary before I can run OnDemand.
The docs say to “Go to Admin interface, Users” and then click on the hpcadmin user and make it a " superuser by checking the boxes next to Staff Status and Superuser Status - SAVE".
I am not clear what is the admin interface. Is it the link under the Admin menu that says Coldfront Administration? If so, there are no boxes that say Staff Status and Superuser Status.
Also, if I go to User Search under the admin menu and search for the hpcadmin user, the screen it brings me to also does not have Staff Status or Superuser Status boxes.
Is the documentation out of sync with the docker images?
When I log in to ondemand (https://localhost:3443) as hpcadmin and try and submit a job using job composer, I get
An error occurred when submitting jobs for simulation 1: sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Invalid account or account/partition combination specified
On our cluster this error means the user has not yet been set up to use the cluster. So that’s why I thought maybe setup in coldfront was necessary, and also since the docs have the coldfront setup first, before the ondemand setup.
What are the arguements you’re passing for account and partition?
We only use/work on those once a year in preperation for PEARC or similar conference. I did just watched this GIF of me submitting the job with empty values and that works.
Again - for 3 or so years, I’ve never had to go through the other tutorials, though that may have changed this year and I haven’t looked into it yet.
