The OpenSees Community

Hi,

Using the Amazon EC2 AMI I'm getting the following error, that I'm not getting when i run on windows...

Want: uniaxialMaterial Hysteretic tag? mom1p? rot1p? mom2p? rot2p? <mom3p? rot3p?> mom1n? rot1n? mom2n? rot2n? <mom3n? rot3n?> pinchX? pinchY? damfc1? damfc2? <beta?>

I see from other posts that new versions fix this issue, but the EC2 AMI seems to be on 2.4.6 (6022) - is there an updated version? or how could i update the AMI myself?

Many Thanks in advance!

Ben

i am in the process of making one for the new release .. you can of course make your own by starting with some blank linux ami, installing and building OpenSees and then creating an image of what you have.

Ok thanks very much for the speedy reply, I'll wait for your new release. No doubt it will be better as i am by no means an expert.

Ben

you are running the command from a dos prompt and starcluster is on your PATH

thanks .. i might need to upgrade to windows10 as i hate dos

thanks for the info .. i have updated the opensees amazon page ..

dear @Cagatay

Setuptool seems not work after clickiing on ez_setup.py and poping up a black window of python in firefox.
downloading setuptools-26.0.0.zip...

Command prompt cannot recogize the command of pip install StarCluster.
Could you give me some advice?
Thanks a lot!

Dear @cgtydmrc

Thanks for your sharing your resource for instruction.
I install them again in window 7 system.

I type "C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install StarCluster" in dos prompt.
Error message shows that C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe is not compatible with the version of windows system.

And I find the problem may be located in setuptool that value error: Entry point must be listed in groupstayou could take a look in google drive linked below.

Thanks for your help!
Try it as your suggestion goes.

And now I think I found the problem is that the setuptool can not be installed successfullly.
The following is error when I am installing setuptool.
value error comes up.It warns that Entry points must be listed in groups.

And I installed VS2012.

Thanks again! I really appreciate it.

Dear Cagatay,

Now I found that it's proper for me to make 32bit python installation so that I could install starcluster successfully

according to the instruction that you shared with me.

What is the most important info in the config file? I really feel a little bit confused.
Now I changed the segments in config file as below:
1AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = #your_aws_access_key_id
2AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = #your_secret_access_key
3AWS_USER_ID= #your userid
4[key mykey]
5KEY_LOCATION=~/.ssh/mykey.rsa
6KEYNAME = mykey

How can I revise the keypair? I creat key according to the contents from 'starcluster createkey -help'

G:\peer\AmazonEC2>starcluster createkey -i pk-APKAICAVVT6INVOFHD4Q.pem -o myfirs
t.rsa myfirst
StarCluster - (http://star.mit.edu/cluster) (v. 0.95.6)
Software Tools for Academics and Researchers (STAR)
Please submit bug reports to starcluster@mit.edu

>>> Successfully created keypair: myfirst
>>> fingerprint: 98:3a:ea:f0:60:65:80:be:aa:1b:61:32:52:1f:a0:85


and it seems to create a rsa file from keypair file with a keyname,but where's the rsa file? I can't find it in my computer.
How can I revise the config file and create key file correctly?

G:\peer\AmazonEC2>starcluster start smallcluster
StarCluster - (http://star.mit.edu/cluster) (v. 0.95.6)
Software Tools for Academics and Researchers (STAR)
Please submit bug reports to starcluster@mit.edu

!!! ERROR - Cluster settings are not valid:

Cheers,

Kai

Thank you,Cagatay!!
It is really a great help for me!

Now I met a problem once more according to that demo video, could you give me some tips?

I cannot start the cluster,the error messages is as the following.
C:\Users\Administrator.USER-20160705YO>starcluster start myfirstcluster

Thanks again.
I solved that problem.
1 starcluster createkey mykey -o ~/.ssh/mykey.rsa
2Revised the keypair name mykey to agree with the name from starcluster!
[key mykey]
KEY_LOCATION=C:/Users/Administrator.USER-20160705YO/.ssh/mykey.rsa
[cluster smallcluster]
# change this to the name of one of the keypair sections defined above
KEYNAME = mykey

The cluster is now ready to use. To login to the master node
as root, run:

$ starcluster sshmaster myfirstcluster

If you're having issues with the cluster you can reboot the
instances and completely reconfigure the cluster from
scratch using:

$ starcluster restart myfirstcluster

When you're finished using the cluster and wish to terminate
it and stop paying for service:

$ starcluster terminate myfirstcluster

Alternatively, if the cluster uses EBS instances, you can
use the 'stop' command to shutdown all nodes and put them
into a 'stopped' state preserving the EBS volumes backing
the nodes:

$ starcluster stop myfirstcluster

WARNING: Any data stored in ephemeral storage (usually /mnt)
will be lost!

You can activate a 'stopped' cluster by passing the -x
option to the 'start' command:

$ starcluster start -x myfirstcluster

This will start all 'stopped' nodes and reconfigure the
cluster.

Thank you very mutch sir , it rreally helped me.

Your Content is as decent as you seem to be.

Hi,

Can the AmazonEC2 cluster be used with opensees files written in python (.py) rather the .tcl? I have models built using opensees.py and it would be nice if we could run these without having to rewrite in .tcl.

If it is currently not supported, is it likely it will be supported in the future and if so how far away is this likely to be?

Regards
