Running on Damiana fails

[Barry Wardell]

The compute nodes on Damiana are named nodeXXX, which does not match the aliaspattern for Damiana in the mdb. The quick fix is to change the aliaspattern to:

aliaspattern = ^(((login-)?damiana)|(sl-\d\d)|node\d\d\d)(.aei.mpg.de|.damiana.admin)?$

although this might interfere with other machines which also have their compute nodes named nodeXXX. A better fix would probably be to add a --machine=... option when running so that SimFactory does not need to guess which machine it's on from the aliaspattern.

I believe a similar problem also affects Kraken.

--machine is added, could you test it out on damiana?

Thanks!

I've just tested this out with damiana and a fresh checkout of the PYSIM_2010 branch. I used the command:

sim create-submit --machine damiana ...

and it still doesn't seem to work. I still get the error:

Error: Could not determine local machine. Is an entry for node111.damiana.admin setup?

PS. Sorry, I didn't receive any emails from Trac so didn't realise you had replied to this until now.

I manually edited the damiana submit script and added "--machine=damiana" to the run line and my job now starts OK. I think this ticket can be closed once #130 is closed.

Running on Damiana works now.
