.. highlight:: shell .. _gbasf2-setup: Setup Gbasf2 ************ Currently, EL9 Linux flavors (like Alma Linux 9 or RHEL9) are supported as OS platforms to use gbasf2. It may also work on EL8 flavors, but gbasf2 releases are not validated on them. One should avoid using CentOS Linux 7 which reached end of life (EOL). Before starting, please make sure you have fulfilled the :ref:`gbasf2-prerequisites`. Additionally: * You have cvmfs mounted with the following directories:: /cvmfs/belle.cern.ch/ /cvmfs/belle.kek.jp/ /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/ * Make sure your grid certificate (both of the files ``usercert.pem`` and ``userkey.pem``) is in the directory ``~/.globus``. (See `Install Your Certificate <https://xwiki.desy.de/xwiki/bin/view/BI/Belle%20II%20Internal/Computing%20WebHome/Computing%20GettingStarted/#H2.Installyourcertificate>`_ on XWiki.) .. note:: Be sure that the userkey.pem has the rw permissions only for the owner and no permission for others. You should see ``"-rw-------"`` with ``ls -l ~/.globus/userkey.pem`` If not, you should do the following:: chmod 600 ~/.globus/userkey.pem Pre-installed gbasf2 on CVMFS ============================= To use the preinstalled gbasf2 on cvmfs, you just need to source the environment with a single command:: source /cvmfs/belle.kek.jp/grid/gbasf2/pro/bashrc It will request your certificate passphrase. If the command finishes without errors and you see information related to your certificate, your proxy has been successfully set:: Proxy generated: subject : /C=JP/O=KEK/OU=CRC/CN=USERNAME issuer : /C=JP/O=KEK/OU=CRC/CN=USERNAME identity : /C=JP/O=KEK/OU=CRC/CN=USERNAME timeleft : 23:53:58 DIRAC group : belle rfc : True path : /tmp/x100up_u0001 username : youruser properties : NormalUser VOMS : True VOMS fqan : ['/belle'] Succeed with return value: 0 A proxy is a short-term credential that verifies your identity, allowing you to perform operations on the grid. By default your proxy is valid for 24h. If it expires, you need to execute ``gb2_proxy_init -g belle`` again if you have already setup gbasf2 in the same shell (terminal). See `GBasf2 Troubleshooting <https://xwiki.desy.de/xwiki/bin/view/BI/Belle%20II%20Internal/Computing%20WebHome/DistributedComputing/Computing%20GBasf2/GBasf2%20Troubleshooting/>`_ if you see errors after the setup. Setup for groups ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When submitting job as part of a group (like physics or performance groups, etc.), proxy must be initialised specifying the group:: source /cvmfs/belle.kek.jp/grid/gbasf2/pro/bashrc -g <belle_group> .. note:: Jobs with a group may require to specify the output LPN using ``-o``:: gbasf2 -p <project_name> -o /belle/group/<directory_name>/<project_name> etc.. Check if any error messages during the submission to confirm. Additional options ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The setup file ``bashrc`` at CVMFS provide options for specify PEM certificate and key files other than the default:: -C <value> : File to use as user certificate -K <value> : File to use as user key Gbasf2 check release ==================== The gb2_check_release command provides information about your version:: $ gb2_check_release Your installation is up-to-date: 6.1 Available gbasf2 releases: Production: 6.1 Newer than prod: Older than prod: 6.0.0, 6.0.1 Available basf2 releases: light-2408-savannah light-2409-toyger light-2411-aldebaran light-2501-betelgeuse release-09-00-00 release-08-01-05 release-06-01-12 release-06-01-10 release-06-01-09 ... The "Available basf2 releases" are those that are accepted by gbasf2. .. note:: Some releases may be obsolete and no longer supported by the software team, or may require a :ref:`resource-tag-label` to run in an specific OS. You should check the release locally before submitting to the grid. If a basf2 release that you need for your analysis is not available on the grid, you can contact the `users forum <comp-users-forum@belle2.org>`_. The release will be validated and enabled shortly after.
