Hi Folks, I'm working on a time-sensitive project (just a day or two left to sort it out) that requires I be able to submit jobs from a remote resource (TACC) to my resources (Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center) using a shared filesystem for data rather than staging via Pulsar. I've tried to set it up so that Pulsar does not do any staging, but is just handling the remote job submission and tool dependencies. However, Pulsar continues to use a local staging directory for the data and then copies the data back to the Galaxy directory. What I'm hoping to do is have all the data stay in the shared filesystem for the entire course of the job. The quick test below does not have input data, but just issues commands on the remote compute node and generates output. I'm using latest stable releases of Galaxy (16.07, installed on a TACC VM) and Pulsar (installed via pip at PSC). If anyone can provide some quick pointers I'd appreciate it. Here are relevant parts of my configuration and some of the log output: *Shared filesystem:* /hopper *Local staging dir created by Pulsar:* /usr/local/packages/pulsar/etc/files/staging *galaxy.ini* file_path = /hopper/sy3l67p/blood/galaxy_home/database/files new_file_path = /hopper/sy3l67p/blood/galaxy_home/database/tmp job_working_directory = /hopper/sy3l67p/blood/galaxy_home/database/job_working_directory tool_dependency_dir = /hopper/sy3l67p/blood/galaxy_home/database/dependencies dependency_resolvers_config_file = /hopper/sy3l67p/blood/galaxy_home/config/dependency_resolvers_conf.xml *job_conf.xml* <destination id="pulsar" runner="pulsar_rest"> <param id="url">https://128.182.99.126:8913/</param> <param id="default_file_action">none</param> <param id="file_action_config">/home/tg455546/galaxy/config/file_actions.yaml</param> <param id="dependency_resolution">remote</param> <param id="submit_native_specification">-q batch</param> </destination> *file_actions.yml* paths: # If Galaxy, the Pulsar, and the compute nodes all mount the same directory # staging can be disabled altogether for given paths. -
