0) HN/e-news announcement of new release pacman package
https://groups.cern.ch/group/hn-atlas-releaseKitAnnounce/default.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Before starting a new install, set up the environment variables:
RHEL4-32 bit: built on atlas-prod02.slac.stanford.edu
pacman version = 3.26
AFS: /afs/slac/g/atlas/d/ (currently soft linked to /b/)
| Code Block |
|---|
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/etc:/usr/afsws/bin:/usr/afsws/etc:/usr/bin/X11:. . /afs/slac/g/atlas/packages/pacman/3.26/setup.sh |
RHEL5-32 bit: built on atlas-prod05.slac.stanford.edu pacman version = 3.29
AFS: /afs/slac/g/atlas/c/
For some reason, it's necessary to unset PYTHONPATH
| Code Block |
|---|
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/etc:/usr/afsws/bin:/usr/afsws/etc:/usr/bin/X11:. unset PYTHONPATH . /afs/slac/g/atlas/packages/pacman/3.29/setup.sh |
-----------------------------------------------------
2) Go to the target release partitions, /c/ or /d/.
...
Makes sure there is enough space with " fs lq * ".
There are 17 more AFS partitions mounted, in addition to the /c/ partition.
If more space is needed, send a request to unix-admin@slac.stanford.edu
(All examples below will assume installation in /c/) ---------------------------------------------------------------
3) Installing base release: x.x.x
Issue the pacman command found in the HN/e-news announcement, and direct to pacman.log
| Code Block |
|---|
pacman -allow any-platform trust-all-caches tar-overwrite -get http://atlas-computing.web.cern.ch/atlas-computing/links/kitsDirectory/projects/cache:AtlasProduction_15_6_5_i686_slc5_gcc43_opt>> pacman.log & |
...
4) Installing AtlasProduction cache: x.x.x.x
After steps 1-3, setup the release:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
#
#get_dbrelease_from_cern.sh, by Andy Haas (SLAC)
#Takes one argument: the DBRelease version, i.e. "9.1.2"
#
cd /afs/slac/g/atlas/c/DBRelease
ssh lxplus.cern.ch "~/bin/bbcp -s 64 -P 2 -f /afs/cern.ch/atlas/www/GROUPS/DATABASE/pacman4/DBRelease/DBRelease-${1}.tar.gz noric09.slac.stanford.edu:/afs/slac/g/atlas/c/DBRelease/"
#scp lxplus.cern.ch:/afs/cern.ch/atlas/www/GROUPS/DATABASE/pacman4/DBRelease/DBRelease-${1}.tar.gz .
tar -xzf DBRelease-${1}.tar.gz
mv -i DBRelease/${1} .
rm DBRelease/current
rmdir DBRelease
rm DBRelease-${1}.tar.gz
rm current
ln -s ${1} current

5) Problems with release install
Check the postings in https://groups.cern.ch/group/hn-atlas-releaseKitProblem/default.aspx
as others might have similar problems.
Ask Peter or Zach.
If all fails, start a new thread in that forum. -------------------------------------------------------------------
6) When there is an announcement of new AtlasLogin or AtlasSettings
Go to the install area (/c/ in this example) and execute:
...
They are supposed to be backward compatible, unless stated otherwise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Updating pacman:
There are usually ATLAS announcements asking to install a new version.
New version of pacman can be downloaded from BU.:
| Code Block |
|---|
...
wget http://physics.bu.edu/pacman/sample_cache/tarballs/pacman-latest.tar.gz |
...
tar -xf pacman-latest.tar.gz |
Move the pacman package to /afs/slac/g/atlas/packages/pacman/, go into the new
pacman directory and set up.
| Code Block |
|---|
cd x.xx |
...
source setup.sh |
(Please note that any installs in /c/ or /d/ must stay with the pacman version
that was originally used. pacman does not get updated often, but when it does
it might be a good time to build a new install with it switching between
/c/ and /d/.)
