Steps On Local Machine (manual)

If you do not want to run VisIt's metadata server on the login node, you can connect to your simulation manually.
Do not try it, if you are not an expert (or have some spare time left).

connect with GUI to simulation

1) tunnel port on compute node of rank 0 to local machine (forward connection)

Error: Failed to load processor ShellExample

No macro or processor named 'ShellExample' found

• <USER>@juqueen.fz-juelich.de is your login to the front node
• -L <LOCAL-PORT>:<COMPUTE-NODE>:<REMOTE-PORT> defines the start and end of the tunnel
• -f tells ssh to go into the background
• -N instructs OpenSSH to not execute a command on the remote system

example:

Error: Failed to load processor ShellExample

No macro or processor named 'ShellExample' found

2) copy/modify sim2 file to client

Error: Failed to load processor ShellExample

No macro or processor named 'ShellExample' found

example:

Error: Failed to load processor ShellExample

No macro or processor named 'ShellExample' found

modify to:

Error: Failed to load processor ShellExample

No macro or processor named 'ShellExample' found

3) open sim2 file on with VisIt GUI

4) tunnel port on local machine to compute node of rank 0 (backward connection)
