command line examples

Example 1

create cluster of m1.xlarge containing 4 machines with an already running machine ‘ec2......com’ with its Keypair and Security group and use eg.HPCloud as S3 bucket and mount on /s3

./EHPC-Client --install -d='ec2......com' --conf=default -t=m1.xlarge -n=4 -s3b=eg.HPCloud --s3-mountPoint=/s3 --access-key=jsjhsjhsjytety --secret-key=339803/i839

Output

URL

Example 2

create a cluster which has a running main node of type ‘xlarge’ and has 4 extra machines of type ‘m1.large’

./EHPC-Client --install --domain='ec2.....com' --conf=default --extra-nodes-type=m1.large -n=5 --extraMachinesPBSCores=2 --extra-nodes-types=m1.large

Output

Example 3

create a 4 nodes cluster with NFS shared folder on a new volume of 100 GB

./EHPC-Client --install -d=ec2......com --conf=default --nfs-mountPoint=/nfs --nfs-newVolume=100 -n=4 -t=m1.large
