Installation Instructions for Remote-Accessing HDF5
|
|
|
|
I. Overview
|
|
-----------
|
|
This file contains instructions for remote-accessing HDF5. The SGI IRIX64
|
|
(and IRIX) 6.5 platform have been tested. If you have difficulties installing
|
|
the software in your system, please send mails to me(Raymond Lu) at
|
|
slu@ncsa.uiuc.edu
|
|
|
|
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 and write'. 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 read 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
|
|
|
|
The writing really depends on your web server. You have to set up your
|
|
server in right way to accept writing in files. We have tested it using
|
|
Apache Server(1.3.12) without authentication. If you need more details
|
|
about our testing, please contact us.
|
|
|
|
There is another program called 'gass_append' used for experiments. It
|
|
does not work for current Globus-GASS.
