Hi! We are testing setting OOD instances as VM separate from the HPC cluster and I have a couple of questions. Some initial info: OOD version → 3.0.1, cluster → LSF The first issue we had with starting an app was an error on the “template” copy. It seems the way we have configured the NFS mount do…

[image] fenz: The OOD VM node has no scheduler binary available but I though that it will run them using ssh through the “submit_host”, no idea if that’s actually happening and how I can test it. You do in fact need that binary on the ood node. While the scheduler command doesn’t run there, i…

My previous post is incorrect as you are using the submit_host to handle the submission, which I forget is a second way to do this that doesn’t involve the binary. I’m being told: “Their issue is that they need a shared NFS storage. i.e., the same $HOME that is on the VM and the compute node.”

Thanks for the quick answer. I’m going to try but I still don’t get why you need it, are the binaries names not included in the scheduler adapter? And the full path is part of the cluster configuration. So, you can’t really test if the command works but you can anyway construct the query

Ok. Was answering at the same time. Anyway, I wrote that we do have the home mounted as NFS and in fact all the folder are created and visible from the OOD VM. Not sure how OOD checks that there’s an active session running. There’s probably something wrong somewhere else. I had also a question reg…

For the rsync the a will ensure: -rlptgoD. These include recursive copying, preserving links, permissions, times, group, owner, and device files. The reason for using -a is to ensure that the copied files maintain their original properties. -rlt, which retains the recursive copying, symbolic links…

Also, when you run these jobs, it sounds like you are doing interactive apps. Do the cards show as completed? I know you said you can see the job run, and the directory and files created, but if it is going right to completed i’d wonder whether something is not right with the cache_completed and LSF…

So that rsync copied to the root_stage in the home so I hope the original group and owners are not really needed (since I’m not sharing the folder in the home with the same group having permissions on the app). ButI think I missed the “-p” for the permissions and “–specials” coming with the “-D” so …

[image] fenz: At the moment we still have OOD running also on the login node. I just tested that after running the app from that instance, the sessions shows up in the VM too. Sorry, I can’t quite follow this. I’m also confused as to the behavior still of what you see in OOD. Are the cards s…

Sorry, I can’t quite follow this. I’m also confused as to the behavior still of what you see in OOD. Apologies if I was not clear enough. We have OOD 3.0.1 in prod, it is installed in the login node of our cluster and works as expected. Now, we want to test a different configuration and move OOD…

ok. I found the issue. It is some code in my submit.yaml. I have some complex quotes escaped which when wrapped in a “ssh” command are not working anymore. I need to work a bit on it. The rest looks fine. Many thanks again for your answers!

Just to have complete info. What is not working anymore using submit_host is the submit script I was creating as part of this old topic: Clean script in "post execution" in LSF - #18 by fenz
