Welcome to the lab. Here is what you need to know to get started.
hypervisor 'aleph2' hosts:
* 1. Your account. Get it from your system administrator Therese Demers (or John Irwin).
* alpha7 - This is to be the future architecture VM of the cluster (DNS/DHCP/Puppet/Foreman/Ansible). CentOS7.
* 2. Your home is on /nfs/home/<your_id>/. This area is backed up and is for important persistent files.
* kappa is licensing. ask me. ("i have no clue what this licenses. Turned off." - ben)
* 3. You should run docking jobs and other intense calculations in /nfs/work/<your_id>/.
* rho contains this wiki and also bkslab.org
* 4. You should keep static data (e.g. crystallography data, results of published papers) in /nfs/store/<your_id>/.
* 5. Lab guests get 100GB in each of these areas, and lab members get 500GB. You may request more, just ask!
* 6. If you go over your limit, you get emails for 2 weeks, then we impose a hard limit if you have not solved your overage.
* 7. You can choose bash or tcsh to be your default shell. We don't care. Everything should work equally well with both.
* 8. There is a special kind of static data, databases, for which you may request space. They will go in /nfs/db/<db_name>/. e.g. /nfs/db/zinc/ and /nfs/db/dude/ and /nfs/db/pdb and so on.
* 9. Please run large docking jobs on /nfs/work and not on /nfs/store or /nfs/home. When you publish a paper, please delete what you can, compress the rest, and move it to /store/. Do not leave it on /work/ if you are no longer using it actively.
* 10. Set up your account so that you can log in all across the cluster without a password. ssh-keygen; cd .ssh; cp id_rsa.pub authorized_keys; chmod 600 authorized_keys;
* 11. Software lives in /nfs/software/. All our machines are 64 bit Centos 6.3 unless otherwise indicated.
* 12. Python 2.7 and 3.0 are installed. We currently recommend 2.7 because of library availability, but that may change soon. (Aug 2012)
* 13. If you use tcsh, copy .login and .cshrc from ~jji/  ; If you use bash, copy .bash_profile from ~jji/

This is the default lab cluster.

Priorities and Policies

Special machines

Normally, you will just ssh to sgehead aka gimel from portal.ucsf.bkslab.org where you can do almost anything, including job management. A few things require licensing and must be done on special machines.

hypervisor 'he' hosts:

  • alpha - which is critical and runs foreman, DNS, DHCP, and other important services
  • beta - with runs LDAP authentication
  • epsilon - portal.ucsf.bkslab.org - cluster gateway from public internet
  • gamma - sun grid engine qmaster
  • phi - mysqld/excipients
  • psi for using the PG fortran compiler
  • ppilot is at http://zeta:9944/ - you must be on the Cluster 2 private network to use it
  • Tau is the web server for ZINC,
  • no other specia
  • zeta - Psicquic/pipeline pilot
  • Sigma can definitely go off and stay off. It was planned for a fingerprinting server, never done.

hypervisor 'aleph2' hosts:

  • alpha7 - This is to be the future architecture VM of the cluster (DNS/DHCP/Puppet/Foreman/Ansible). CentOS7.
  • kappa is licensing. ask me. ("i have no clue what this licenses. Turned off." - ben)
  • rho contains this wiki and also bkslab.org

Notes

  • to get from SVN, use svn ssh+svn

  • 788 TB of high quality NFS-available disk
  • Our policy is to have 4 GB RAM per cpu-core unless otherwise specified.
  • Machines older than 3 years may have 2GB/core and 6 years old have 1GB/core.
  • Cluster 2 is currently stored entirely in Rack 0 which is in Row 0, Position 4 of BH101 at 1700 4th St (Byers Hall).

  • compbio.ucsf.edu and ucsf.bkslab.org domains both supported.

Disk organization

  • shin aka nas1 mounted as /nfs/db/ = 72 TB SAS RAID6. NOTE: ON BAND: $ sudo /usr/local/RAID\ Web\ Console\ 2/startupui.sh to interact with raid controller. username: raid. pw: c2 pass
