SHIFT at the MPP
At the Institute not the complete set of SHIFT software is installed.
Currently installed are:
- tapeserver for groups CART, 8MM, SMC (= 8MM robot on files1)
and OVLXB (= DLT robot on files1). If you need
an additional tapeserver on your (group-)workstation, contact
the CN Group.
- rfio
- disk space manager
- tape stager
- copytape
- a batchsystem in our case that's IBM's
LoadLeveler
Most of the above (except LoadLeveler) is installed
only on some specialized workstations (like comps1).
If you have need to use shift software on your group workstation(s)
contact the CN group.
LoadLeveler is installed on nearly every AIX WS. You can specify
FEATURE=SHIFT under Requirements, if your job
needs to be executed under the shift environment.
If You have any problems using the SHIFT software, you can send
email to shift@mppmu.mpg.de. You can also subscribe to
the SHIFT mailing list by sending an email to
majordomo@mppmu.mpg.de with a bodyline (not subject!!!)
of subscribe shift. You will then get all mail about
the SHIFT problems at the MPI and can also send answers, if you
have already solved a problem.
