Installation Instructions for Remote-Accessing HDF5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I. Overview
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
This file contains instructions for remote-accessing HDF5. The SGI IRIX64 6.5
|
||
|
|
has been tested. If you have difficulties installing the software in your
|
||
|
|
system, please send mail to
|
||
|
|
hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu
|
||
|
|
In your mail, please enclose the output of "uname -a". Also attach the
|
||
|
|
content of "config.log" if you have run the "configure" command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, you must obtain and unpack the HDF5 source as described in the file
|
||
|
|
INSTALL. You need the Globus 1.1.x and SSL(should have come with Globus)
|
||
|
|
packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HDF5 is built on the top of Globus-GASS(1.1.x) to handle remote access.
|
||
|
|
Globus-GASS(1.1.x) only supports HTTP and HTTPS protocals for 'whole file
|
||
|
|
read'. More features may be added in the future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
II. Installation Steps
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
The installation steps are similar to the ones in INSTALL file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Run 'configure' file with SSL and GASS options:
|
||
|
|
configure --with-ssl=$SSL/lib --with-gass=$GASS/include,$GASS/lib
|
||
|
|
where $SSL is your SSL directory, and $GASS is your Globus directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, below is a script file to run 'configure':
|
||
|
|
#! /bin/sh
|
||
|
|
# how to configure to use the Globus-GASS(1.1.x)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GASS_DIR=/usr/local/globus-install-1.1.1/development/mips-sgi-irix6.5-64_nothreads_standard_debug
|
||
|
|
SSL_LIB=/usr/local/ssl/lib
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
configure --with-ssl=$SSL_LIB --with-gass=$GASS_DIR/include,$GASS_DIR/lib
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Run 'make'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Run testing program:
|
||
|
|
There is one testing program called 'gass_read' in the 'test' directory.
|
||
|
|
It does whole file read through HTTP protocal. The URL is hard coded as
|
||
|
|
http://hdf/GLOBUS/a.h5
|
||
|
|
There are other programs called 'gass_write' and 'gass_append' used for
|
||
|
|
experiments. They don't work for current Globus-GASS.
