Simulation Compute Manager for RPM installations

To change the temporary working file path

The following process updates the location of a temporary working path for Simulation Compute Manager. You will require root or sudo access to stop the services and to perform edits to the configuration files. For this example, the new location will be referred to as /tmp/scmWorking

The temporary directory should have the following characteristics:

• It can be written to by the Simulation Compute Manager user.
• It is on a volume with sufficient capacity to hold the jobs that you plan to run.
• It is on a volume that is present when the Simulation Compute Manager starts (or will automount when needed).
• It is not accessible to other Simulation Compute Managers running on other hosts.
• It ideally survives a reboot of the machine.

1. Create the new location with the properties outlined above.

2. Stop the Simulation Compute Manager with sudo systemctl stop adskscm

3. Open the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/adskscm.service in a text editor. This will require root or sudo access.

4. Insert the following after the line PIDFile="/var/lock/scm.pid.lock" (approximately at line 9)

    #Change the SCM default storage path
    Environment="SCM_WORKING =/tmp/scmWorking"

1. Reload the Simulation Compute Manager with the command sudo systemctl daemon-reload

2. Restart the Simulation Compute Manager with the command sudo systemctl start adskscm

To change the Simulation Compute Manager Storage path

The following process updates the location of a storage path for Simulation Compute Manager. You will require root or sudo access to stop the services and to perform edits to the configuration files. For this example, the new location will be referred to as /tmp/newlocation

Note: Any running jobs will be terminated

1. Create the new location with the properties outlined above.

2. Stop the Simulation Compute Manager with sudo systemctl stop adskscm

3. Open the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/adskscm.service in a text editor. This will require root or sudo access.

4. Insert the following after the line PIDFile="/var/lock/scm.pid.lock" (approximately at line 9)

    #Change the SCM default storage path

1. Reload the Simulation Compute Manager with the command sudo systemctl daemon-reload

2. Restart the Simulation Compute Manager with the command sudo systemctl start adskscm
