HP SVA V2.1 Visualization System Software Reference Guide

sva_remote.sh(1)
NAME
sva_remote.sh -- Runs an application on the SVA that is accessed using HP Remote Graphics
Software.
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.
You can also use the -d option to specify a render or
display node by name, rather than a Display Surface. This
node is then allocated and also runs your application.
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 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
