HP SVA V2.1 Visualization System Software Reference Guide

-s or --stereo
For Display Surfaces created and defined as stereo-capable
with the Display Surface Configuration tool, this option
causes the Display Surface's stereo capabilities to be used
on this job. Without this option, the same Display Surface
would use only its mono capabilities.
-v or --verbose
Provides additional debugging feedback to the screen as
the script runs.
-V or --version
Displays the version of this script.
-h or --help
Displays Help for the script.
application_command_parameters
AmiraVR application-specific command parameters. These
are optional. All parameters must be passed as a single
quoted string. See the AmiraVR documentation for more
information.
Returns
None.
Description
This command launches a Bash shell job script to run the AmiraVR application as a VR application.
It displays output on the designated Display Surface and displays the main window on the
current X server.
This script allocates the nodes associated with the Display Surface, starts X servers on those
nodes with the requested geometry, and starts AmiraVR clusterdaemons on those nodes. It then
starts the main Amira application on the current node. By default, an AmiraVR Pack config file
is generated based on the SVA information for the Display Surface. Optionally, you can supply
a custom config file, for example, one that causes image data to be hidden by the frames around
LCD panels.
This command requires that the AMIRA_ROOT environment variable be defined properly. The
command checks the definition and sets it to the default Amira installation location if necessary
(/opt/Mercury/Amira4.1). The command also checks for the existence of
${AMIRA_ROOT}/bin/start to verify the installed location of Amira. You are warned if it is
not found.
The AmiraVR application is developed by Mercury Computer Associates (www.mc.com).
Note that the AmiraVR application is not included as part of the SVA Kit.
Example
The following command launches the AmiraVR application. It runs the main window on the
current node and displays using the nodes assigned to the SVA_DS_1_1 Display Surface:
% sva_amiravr.sh --display_surface SVA_DS_1_1
The following command runs the main window on the current node and displays using the
nodes assigned to the ds2x2 Display Surface. The default resolution for ds2x2 is overridden
by the 1600x1200 setting. A user-supplied configuration file is specified and the design.hx
file is passed to AmiraVR. You must specify the full path for the configuration file, which must
be accessible to all nodes.
% sva_amiravr.sh -d ds2x2 -g 1600x1200 --config /usr/users/tester1/my2x2.cfg "design.hx"
See the sva_vgltvnc.sh manpage and the SVA Users Guide for examples of using the AmiraVR
script remotely via TurboVNC.
