Synopsis
sva_remote.sh [ -d display-surface ] [ -R ] [ -p partition-name ] [ -I ] [ -g ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -D ] [ -u
] [ -h ] { application_command }
Parameters
-d display-surface or
--display-surface name
Selects a Display Surface to use for the job, either by specifying the
name of an existing Display Surface or by specifying the name of a
visualization node (render or display). If you specify a node name,
the script creates a temporary Display Surface for the duration of the
visualization session.
If you do not use the –d option, the script allocates a visualization
node drawing first from available render nodes and secondarily from
available display nodes.
A Display Surface is a named display that consists of one or more
display devices with a particular orientation. Initial configuration of
the SVA creates a named single-tile Display Surface for each display
node and its associated display device. A typical default Display
Surface is SVA_DS_1_1.
This script works with Display Surfaces that use only a single tile.
The site administrator can create additional Display Surfaces using
the Display Surface Configuration Tool. You can also use this tool to
list all the named Display Surfaces on your cluster. This tool is
documented in the SVA System Administration Guide .
You can specify a default Display Surface in the User Configuration
File.
-R or --render-only Choose a remote node from the pool of render nodes and never to
attempt to choose a node from the pool of display nodes.
This argument is only effective if you omit the –d option.
-p partition-name or
--partition partition-name
Requests resources from the SLURM partition partition-name. The
default partition is used if no partition is named.
-I or --interactive Runs the application in interactive mode. Interactive mode allocates
nodes and starts X servers. It launches your desktop environment (for
example, KDE or Gnome) on the machine you are logged into. You
can then start, stop, and restart applications as usual.
To terminate your session, log out from your desktop environment.
You must use the script command a second time to launch applications.
The second invocation requires only the application pathname be
entered as a parameter to the script command.
-g or --tile_geometry Sets the tile geometry that each of the tiles uses. Valid values include
1280x1024, 1400x1050, and 1600x1200.
-v or --verbose Provides additional debugging feedback to the screen as the script
runs.
-V or --version Displays the version of this script.
-D or --debug Turns on script debugging.
-u or --usage Displays a brief usage message.
-h or --help Displays Help for the script.
application_command Site-specific application command.
