Remote visualization from Lens.
To run a ParaView client on your local machine, and connect that to a parallel ParaView server running on Lens, you need to do some one-time-only setup before you can connect in the usual way.
Initial Setup (one time only)
- go to http://www.paraview.org/files/v3.8/ and download the appropriate "ParaView-3.8.0-RC1" for your platform. It must be 3.8.0, and must be RC1, because that is what matches what is already installed on lens. Install this client on your system.
- save a copy of lens.pvsc on your machine as well.
- (If your username on your local machine does not match your username on lens, edit the lens.pvsc file, change
- <Argument value="lens.ccs.ornl.gov"/> to include your lens username:
- <Argument value=username@lens.ccs.ornl.gov"\> and change
- <Server name="Lens" resource .... to
- <Server name="Lens-Username" resource ... FIXME (left off here)
- (If your username on your local machine does not match your username on lens, edit the lens.pvsc file, change
- run ParaView 3.8.0-RC1 on your machine
- Configure your local plugins.
- Tools -> Manage Plugins
- Under "Local Plugins", select "SLACTools" and hit "Load Selected" if it's not already loaded. Also, click the grep triangle next to "SLACTools" to expand a menu, and make sure "Auto Load" is checked so that you don't have to repeat this every time you run ParaView.
- You may want to do the same for "CSCS_PointSpritePlugin", which is useful particle visualization.
- Tools -> Manage Plugins
- connect to lens
- Press the "Connect" button in the main controls toolbar.
- press the "Load Servers" button.
- Navigate to your "lens.pvsc" file, select it, and hit "OK".
- Under "Choose a Server" you should now see "lens". Select that and hit "Connect".
- A dialog will pop up. The defaults are probably ok. Don't select less than 16 for "Number of Cores", because that makes the X11 server unhappy for some reason. Hit "Connect".
- Two more windows should open up, one of which is an X terminal. In it, enter your lens passcode.
- Press the "Connect" button in the main controls toolbar.
