Prerequisites

This discussion assumes you are familiar with Unix shell command line programming and scripting. You will be encountering and interacting with csh/tcsh, bash, perl, and python scripting languages.

This entire discussion assumes the bash shell is the user's unix shell.

You already have your Open Stack credentials installed and you can use the command line Open Stack functions: CLI OpenStack command line clients

Parasol Hub

The parasol hub machine instance needs to start up first.

There are two scripts used for this procedure: startParaHub.sh and paraHubSetup.sh. Currently obtained from the genomewiki:

wget -qO startParaHub.sh 'http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/File:OpenStackStartParaHub.sh.txt'
chmod 755 startParaHub.sh
wget -qO paraHubSetup.sh 'http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/images/a/a0/OpenStackParaHubSetup.sh.txt'
# paraHubSetup.sh does not need execute permissions here
