New ipptopsps

These are my notes to running the new ipptopsps - there is not good documentation for that yet.

Create new loading machines

According to settings.xml, there are these loaders already:

machine memory (for ipptosps) total mem
ipp006 16 24
ipp007 16 24
ipp008 16 24
ipp009 16 20
ipp010 16 24
ipp064 32 49

I assume there are more (?) that are not documented do to Gene running rogue ones. It doesn't matter for now.

The stare nodes have the most amount of memory, but they also do not have mysql set up.

Let's add in ipp060 to ipp066.

Gene's instructions for making new loaders:

* setting up a new machine
  * add the dvo user account to mysql:
    * grant all on *.* to dvo@"localhost" identified by 'dvo';
* grant all on *.* to dvo@"%.ifa.hawaii.edu" identified by 'dvo';
* create scratch db:
* mysql -h localhost -u dvo -pdvo -e "create database ipptopsps_scratch"
* ippjython setupScratchDb.py
* add entries in ippToPsps/config/settings.xml
* there are per-host entries within the scratch db section(s) (you don't need to do it for the test scratch section). there is a machine-dependent parameter called 'memory' which is the # of Gigs allowed for the dvoDetection table. I recommend using 75-85 percent of the main memory for the machine.

It all worked fine for ipp063 until I encountered ippjython stuff - that was not installed as ippToPsps is not compiled by default. How annoying.

Second problem is a config problem - I have ippjython but now it can't find setupScratchDb.py

Ok, that is fixed (completely improperly, but it will work upon other installations)

Great! ipp063 is now a loader! :) TODO: to the rest of the ipp06x
