This session will cover following topics
Tutorial topics
- Installation and configuration of NX client
- Configuration of the IMAS environment
- Database initialization
1. 1. Connecting to remote working space
1.1. 1.1 Connecting to ITER cluster
You will probably want to use an SSH client that supports remote X for graphical environment. The host hpc-login4.iter.org supports NX clients such as NoMachine whilst you can connect to hpc-app1.iter.org with X2go.
1.2. 1.2 Connection to the EUROfusion Gateway
In order to use Gateway, you have to meet following requirements:
- You have to have Gateway account (in case you don't have one, you have to request it) - refer to this link
- You have to install NX client
NX Connection
NX connection to the Gateway
This tutorial assumes that Gateway accounts will be used for starting up Kepler application.
Gateway specific configuration of NX can be found here: here
2. 2.Setting IMAS
Loading all the IMAS modules. You will get access to libraries and most commonly used tools (FC2K, Kepler, Matlab interfaces, Python interfaces, etc.)
2.1. 2.1. Setting IMAS @ ITER Cluster
The fastest way to setup the environment for Kepler, IMAS and all the other dependencies is to load kepler module
module load kepler
Please follow this >link< to get detailed instructions how to set-up IMAS environment on ITER cluster
2.2. 2.1. Setting IMAS @ EUROfusion Gateway
You can switch to IMAS environment using:
module load imasenv imasdb <machine_name>
3. 3. Database initialization
In order to work with MDSPlus database you have to create and initialize MDSPlus database structure (details can be found here). This can be done by issuing following command:
imasdb <machine_name>
