Requirements for CLC Grid Integration
- A functional grid submission system must already be in place. Please also see the section on supported job submission systems below.
- The DRMAA library for the grid submission system to be used. Note that OGE comes with this library, while you will need to get the code for the PBS DRMAA library and compile this yourself. (Additional notes below.)
- The CLC Science Server must be installed on a Linux based system configured as a submit host in the grid environment.
- The user running the CLC Science Server process is seen as the submitter of the grid job, and thus this user must exist on all the grid nodes.
- CLC Genomic Server file locations holding data that will be used must be mounted with the same path on the grid nodes as on the master Genomics Server and accessible to the user that runs the CLC Genomics Server process.
- If a CLC Bioinformatics Database is in use, all the grid nodes must be able to access that database using the user that runs the CLC Genomics Server process.
- A CLC License Server with one or more available CLC Genomics Grid Worker licenses must be reachable from the execution hosts in the grid setup.
- A SUN/Oracle Java Runtime environment 1.6 must be installed on all execution hosts that will be running CLC Grid Worker jobs.
