9 Review your settings and make sure that they are correct.
10 Click Create.
11 The creation process has started. Wait until it is done.
12 After the stack has been created you can find some helpful information in the
Output section. It is recommended that you save all of the output in a text
document for future use. The different output data are described in the list below.
a LicenseSecurityGroup - The security group created for your servers.
b LicenseServerIP - The IP address of the license server.
c VPCId - The ID of the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud™.
d LoginBucketID - The name of the Amazon S3™ bucket used for the license file.
Create login.properties File for EC2™ (Optional)
In this section you will learn how to create login properties for your COMSOL
Multiphysics server instance in order to allow for automatic start of the server.
The file login.properties contains login data for the COMSOL Multiphysics server and
is needed for the automatic startup of the COMSOL Multiphysics server. This file is
created when you start the COMSOL Multiphysics server for the first time, and it
contains encrypted information about the username and password that is needed to
log into the server.
The file login.properties is, when using default settings, located in your home folder
and can therefore be found in the folder C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.comsol\v50 on
Windows
®
operating systems, where you should replace <USERNAME> with your
own username. On Linux
®
and Mac OS X the file is, when using default settings,
located in the folder $HOME/.comsol/v50.
If you have no login.properties file in the folder specified above, you need to create
one to be able to start the COMSOL Multiphysics server automatically. If you want to
reset the username and password, simply delete the old login.properties file and create
a new one. To create a login.properties file, follow the steps below:
CREATE LOGIN.PROPERTIES (WINDOWS® OPERATING SYSTEMS)
1 In the Start Menu, find the shortcut COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0 Server, and click
it to start a local COMSOL Multiphysics server. This will launch a command
prompt window, in which COMSOL Multiphysics server will run.
