Re: [ptp-user] Testing for Parallel Package Juno SR2 (RC4 build) ** LSF

I plan to add a note in the online help
(to be written) stating LSF setup is required.

You should see colored boxes for the
nodes where the job runs once it starts. There was a problem with the monitoring
code that resulted in no colored boxes being displayed in some cases. A
fix for this was committed to both the Juno and Kepler PTP repositories
yesterday. I tested this on the machine where I was seeing the problem
and I now get the colored boxes. 

This was comitted after the SR2 cutoff
for Juno so you will need to pick up a post-SR2 PTP build to get this fix,
once that build is available.

Dave,

your suspicion was *absolutely* right.

As my .bashrc was derived from a standard RedHat bashrc template, I would
guess that more people than just me will stumble over this. So perhaps
there 
should be a corresponding update in the documentation.

My ~/.bashrc contained the following two stanzas.
a) [presumably coming from the RedHat template]
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

b) [added by me when starting to use LSF]
# set up LSF
if [ -r ~lsfadmin/lsf/conf/profile.lsf ]; then
  . ~lsfadmin/lsf/conf/profile.lsf
fi

If a) comes before b) then you can run bqueues after ordinary login,
but "ssh i06n132.pbm.ihost.com bqueues" will fail and eclipse
LSF
support will show the errors I described in an earlier post.

If b) comes before a), "ssh i06n132.pbm.ihost.com bqueues" works
fine and so 
does Eclipse LSF support.

- Except that the monitor screen still looks very odd.

It only shows a couple of white boxes. As there are two running jobs, I
should 
expect some colored boxes somewhere. Perhaps this is due to the fact that
this 
LSF instance schedules jobs for at least two different clusters ?
