Processing Node Installation¶
Processing nodes need access to the data, as well as being able to run a processing script via ssh given LSDC collection ID and additional parameters, retrieve relevant experimental metadata, then run processing using standard data reduction programs.
Pre-requisites¶
The most recent RHEL should be installed
The following directories should be visible:
/nsls2/software/mx/daq
/nsls2/data/<tla> where <tla> = three-letter acronym for beamline (amx/fmx/nyx)
Procedure¶
Use the “Schedule Remote Job” item in Explorer for the selected node(s) to run the following roles:
Conda/”Conda - Install custom conda env (lsdc-processing)”
Miscellaneous/”mx_software”
If this computer has not been set up before, firewall configuration may be necessary for communication to happen to the amostra, analysisstore, and conftrak services on xf17id2-srv2.
Test this by doing the following while on the NSLS-II network - if a connection is made, then port is already available:
telnet xf17id2-srv2 7770
Ask your AST lead to update firewall settings to allow communication from your new node to ports 7770, 7771, 7773 on xf17id2-srv2
