ROBOX Cluster

LCC Support does not manage the ROBOX cluster. The following setup is a description of how the infinity should be properly activated. The real situation can strongly depend on the users and administrators of the cluster.

The system wide setup

The activation script is in the file /etc/bashrc. This script has to be called from the user startup files, ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc. The initial content of these files is stored in the /etc/skel directory. To assure that new users will get the proper version of these files, the contents of the /etc/skel directory must be updated.

$ cat /etc/bashrc 

# this is for non-interactive and interactive modes
# AMS 9.0

export AMS_HOST_GROUP=robox

if [ "`id -u`" -gt 1000 ]; then
    if /usr/bin/test -f /software/ncbr/softmods/9.0/etc/boot/bashrc.ncbr
        then source /software/ncbr/softmods/9.0/etc/boot/bashrc.ncbr
    fi
fi

$ cat /etc/skel/.bash_profile
# Standard NCBR .bash_profile

# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
    PATH=~/bin:$PATH
fi

$ cat /etc/skel/.bashrc
# Standard NCBR .bashrc

# use system wide setup
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
    . /etc/bashrc 
fi

The file /etc/skel/.profile must be deleted.

The user wide setup

The Infinity requires standard NCBR startup files ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc, while the ~/.profile file should not be present. Their contents must match the files' contents in the /etc/skel directory. If not, or if you accidentally remove or damage their contents, you can restore them by running the infinity-boot command. This must be done on ALL cluster computers. This operation is not handled by the script and thus rests on the user or the cluster administrator.

$ /software/ncbr/infiboot/infinity-activate general

# ==============================================================================
# Infinity - activating profile: general

           The profile restores the standard .bash_profile and .bashrc files used
           on the NCBR clusters administered by the LCC support (WOLF, SOKAR, IVAVIK,
           LCC). This profile should rarely be used, usually when the user damages
           these files.
# ==============================================================================

   Activation of Infinity on local machine:     robox                                      ... success.

 All is done.

 WARNING: Please open a new terminal session to complete the Infinity profile 'general' activation procedure.
