NAME

hpct-node-setup — HiPerConTracer Node

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

hpct-node-setup is the HiPerConTracer node setup script. It is run on a node, in order to:

1. Create an SSH key pair (for public/private key-based authentication to collector);

 

2. Upload the public key to the collector;

 

3. Configure SSH public/private key-based authentication on the collector (for SSH node->collector; Note: this configures password-less login to the node user node<NODE_ID> on the collector!);

 

4. Update known_hosts on the collector with node's server key (for SSH collector->node via Reverse Tunnel; Note: this direction is *not* configured, for security!).

 

5. Update /etc/hipercontracer/hpct-sync.conf with the given ID and collector.

 

ARGUMENTS

The following arguments must be provided:

USER@COLLECTOR

Sets the SSH location of the collector, i.e. USER@HOST.EXAMPLE.

NODE_ID

-h | --help
