HP XC System 3.x Software manual Creating a Modulefile, Viewing Modulefile-Specific Help

Page 35

When a modulefile conflict occurs, unload the conflicting modulefile before loading the new modulefile. In the previous example, you should unload the ifort/8.0 modulefile before loading the ifort/8.1 modulefile. For information about unloading a modulefile, see Unloading a Modulefile (page 34).

Note

To avoid problems, HP recommends that you always unload one version of a modulefile before loading another version.

Creating a Modulefile

If you download or install a software package into a private directory, you can create your own (private) modulefile for products that you install by using the following general steps:

1.Create a private modulefiles directory.

2.Copy an existing modulefile (to use as a template), or copy the software's corresponding default modulefile from under /opt/modules/modulefiles, into the private modulefiles directory.

3.Edit and modify the modulefile accordingly.

4.Register the private directory with the module use command.

To install a variant of a product or package already on the system, copy the existing modulefile for that product to an appropriate name, and edit it accordingly to accommodate the newly-installed product variant.

To install a random product or package should look at the manpages for modulefiles, examine the existing modulefiles, and create a new modulefile for the product being installed using existing modulefiles as a template. To view modules manpages, load the modules modulefile and then display the modulefile manpage:

$ module load modules $ man modulefile

Read the manpages for modules so that you know how to create a directory for your private modulefiles and how to use the module use <dirname> module command to use your private modules.

Viewing Modulefile-Specific Help

You can view help information for any of the modulefiles on the HP XC system. For example, to access modulefile-specific help information for TotalView, issue the module help command as follows:

$ module help totalview

----------- Module Specific Help for 'totalview' -----------------

This loads the TotalView environment.
