Spack Instance Management [admin]

How to re-create the spack instance

First, you might want to delete the old spack instances if you want to refresh them.

rm -rf /project/g110/spack/user/admin-$slave /project/g110/spack/user/$slave

If you want to recreate them from scratch, don’t forget to remove their associated installations directories (modules, stages & installations)

rm -rf /project/g110/modules/admin-$slave/ /project/g110/spack-stages/$slave /project/g110/spack-install/$slave

Once this is done, you can use the config.py of the spack-mch instance to create the two mch instances (admin for the official installation under /project/g110/spack-install, users installation under /scratch/$user/spack/spack-install)

git clone https://github.com/C2SM/spack-c2sm/
cd spack-mch
./config.py -m admin-$slave -i /project/g110/spack/user/admin-$slave
./config.py -m $slave -i /project/g110/spack/user/$slave

Finally install something with both instances to create a database file for the admin-instance respectively a junit-report file for the users instance, both files being needed to be able to source and install as a non-jenkins user. In order to do that first source the corresponding instances and then install something (Ex: the grib-api definitions).

Admin instance:

This instance is for the jenkins-user only. It installs to /project.

. /project/g110/spack/user/admin-$slave/spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh
spack install cosmo-grib-api-definition

Users instance:

This instance is for all users. It installs to $SCRATCH

. /project/g110/spack/user/admin-$slave/spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh
spack install cosmo-grib-api-definition
