== Setup ==
[[PageOutline]]

=== ipp user ===

Operations are generally performed as the ipp user on the [wiki:Production_Cluster Production Cluster].  You should add your ssh public key to ~ipp/.ssh/authorized_keys for ease of access.

=== Pantasks ===

Pantasks runs in the server/client mode, so that it can easily be accessed by multiple people.

To distribute the load, we use the following for the server:
 * summit copy: ippc07
 * registration: ippc09
 * standard science: ippc10
 * publishing: ippc08

The client can be run on any machine, so long as you're in the appropriate directory (which contain a ptolemy.rc file that selects the correct server to contact).

=== Server Scripts ===

The input scripts used by the different pantasks servers are maintained in svn under 'operations'.  Like 'ippMonitor', the installation of this directory requires site specific information:

{{{
% cd ~ipp/ipp-svn/operations
% configure --opsdir ~ipp
% make install
}}}

== Pantasks Servers ==

=== Summit Copy ===

 * Check which machine to use for the server, [wiki:PS1_Operations#Pantasks above].

 * Start the server:
{{{
% ssh ipp@ippc07
% cd summitcopy
% pantasks_server &
}}}
 * Start the client:
{{{
% cd ~ipp/summitcopy
% pantasks_client
pantasks: server input input
pantasks: setup
pantasks: run
}}}

=== Registration ===

 * Check which machine to use for the server, above.

 * Start the server:
{{{
% ssh ipp@ippc09
% cd registration
% pantasks_server &
}}}
 * Start the client:
{{{
% cd ~ipp/registration
% pantasks_client
pantasks: server input input
pantasks: setup
pantasks: run
}}}

=== Standard science ===

 * Check which machine to use for the server, above.

 * Start the server:
{{{
% ssh ipp@ippc10
% cd stdscience
% pantasks_server &
}}}

 * Start the client:
{{{
% cd ~ipp/stdscience
% pantasks_client
pantasks: server input input
pantasks: setup
pantasks: run
pantasks: add.label (label)
}}}

 * Add the survey automation information:
{{{
pantasks: survey.add.diff (label) (dist_group) (workdir)
pantasks: survey.add.magic (label) (workdir) 
pantasks: survey.add.destreak (label) (workdir)
pantasks: survey.add.dist (label)
}}}
Note that the magic and destreak workdir values currently must not be nebulous names, but UNIX paths.  For example:
{{{
pantasks: survey.add.diff throughput.20091104 throughput.20091104 neb://@HOST@.0/gpc1/throughput.20091104
pantasks: survey.add.magic throughput.20091104 /data/ipp050.0/gpc1_destreak/throughput.20091104
pantasks: survey.add.destreak throughput.20091104 /data/ipp050.0/gpc1_destreak/throughput.20091104
pantasks: survey.add.dist throughput.20091104
}}}

=== Detection publication ===

 * Check which machine to use for the server, above.

 * Start the server:
{{{
% ssh ipp@ippc08
% cd publishing
% pantasks_server &
}}}

 * Start the client:
{{{
% cd ~ipp/publishing
% pantasks_client
pantasks: server input input
pantasks: setup
pantasks: run
}}}

=== Detrend Creation ===

 * Check which machine to use for the server, above.

 * Start the server:
{{{
% ssh ipp@ippc06
% cd detrend
% pantasks_server &
}}}

 * Start the client:
{{{
% cd ~ipp/detrend
% pantasks_client
pantasks: server input input
pantasks: setup
pantasks: run
}}}


== IPP User backup and restore ==

Important files in the home directory of the IPP user on the MHPCC cluster are saved to a backup with the script ~ipp/make.backup.  This uses rsync to save copies to a target backup location (currently /data/ipp004.0/ipp/operations).  To restore from this directory, use rsync.
