For large data sets or large include files, this is not the optimal way of submitting remote
jobs. In many companies, the network system is composed of several large file servers: a
possible combination of Windows, UNIX and/or Linux machines. A typical user will use
these servers to store data files instead of his/her local workstation. The real problem for
remote submittal is how to tell the simulator where to get its files for simulation.
Windows machines can presently see UNIX/Linux disk and file systems if a 3rd party
application like SAMBA or NetAPPS is running on the UNIX/Linux machine and
sharing directories via Server Message Block (SMB) format. UNIX/Linux machines can
normally see each other disk and file systems via Network File System (NFS) and
Window machines can normally see other Window machines disk and files systems via
SMB. Sharing is available for UNIX, Linux and Windows machines only if properly
read/write/export permissions are setup on each server.
In the UNIX/Linux world, a user would specify a files fully qualified path on a remote
NFS machine. For example, if the remote machine is named ABC and the location of
asciifile1.dat is on the disk /install1, a user would use the fully qualified path to cd to the
remote and machine and disk and cat the file:
cd /net/export/home/ABC/install1
cat asciifile1.dat
In the Windows world, a user can get to other SMB machines and files by using the full
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path name. If SAMBA is running on a
UNIX/Linux machine, a user can mount their drives and get to the files on their disks by
also specifying the full UNC path name.
