Depending on your data access you may need to submit jobs to a specific farm. This is accomplished by submitting to the appropriate LSF batch queue. Refer to the table below. Jobs for the current experiment should be submitted to the high priority queues psnehhiprioq and psfehhiprioq running against the Fast Feedback storage layer (FFB) located at /reg/d/ffb/<hutch>/<experiment> as shown HERE. Jobs for the off-shift experiment should be submitted to psnehprioq and psfehprioq. Only psneh(hi)prioq/psfeh(hi)prioq should access the FFB. When in doubt, use psanaq.
Submit your job from an interactive node (where you land after doing ssh psana). LSF will run the submitted job on the specified queue using nodes listed in the table below. All nodes in the queues listed below run rhel7. By submitting from an interactive node (also running rhel7), you will ensure that your job inherits a rhel7 environment.
