General notes on Otago gateway

From BeSTGRID

Jump to: navigation, search

The Otago gateway has been setup to connect multiple clusters in the Department of Physics at the University of Otago to the Australia/New Zealand grid, ARCS/BeSTGRID. The gateway system runs a number of virtual machines, one as the job submission gateway for each cluster, and a few additional ones for general purpose tasks (such as grid for client command-line tools).

The details of setting up each of the virtual machines are documented each in a dedicated page; this page gives a broad overview of the whole infrastructure and contains general notes applying to the whole infrastructure.
