Complementary information about DAVAI setup on belenos HPC machine @ MF

Quick install

Set in your .bash_profile:

module use ~mary/public/modulefiles

then when you need to load davai to create a new testing experiment:

module load davai/2

Note: the version of the tests used in your experiment can be different from the version loaded here. This module load ... is only useful to prepend the PATH with davai-new_xp* command(s).

Pre-requirements

1. Load modules (conveniently in your .bash_profile):

   module load python/3.10.12
   module load git

2. Configure your ~/.netrc file for FTP communications with archive machine hendrix, if not already done:

   machine hendrix login <your_user> password <your_password>
   machine hendrix.meteo.fr login <your_user> password <your_password>

   (! don't forget to chmod 600 ~/.netrc if you are creating this file !)
   To be updated when you change your password

3. Configure ftserv (information is stored encrypted in ~/.ftuas):
   ftmotpasse -h hendrix -u <your_user>
   (and give your actual password)
   AND
   ftmotpasse -h hendrix.meteo.fr -u <your_user>
   (same)
   To be updated when you change your password

4. Configure Git proxy certificate info :
   git config --global http.sslVerify false

5. Ensure SSH connectivity between compute and transfer nodes, if not already done:
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
