How to import LiCO system images

System-level container images are used by all users. You can obtain images from Lenovo salesperson or import images into LiCO as system-level container images. This section describes how to create and import system-level container images.

Image bootstrap files

Download image_bootstrap.zip from https://hpc.lenovo.com/lico/downloads/7.2/images/image_bootstrap.zip, image_bootstrap.zip includes the following singularity bootstrap(definition) files, then we can use it to create images.

Create images

Step 1. Prepare a build node with a minimum storage of 100 GB.

Notes:

• This node should have the same OS version and singularity version with the nodes in the cluster.
• If you want to create GPU images, this node should have the same GPU and GPU driver as nodes in the cluster.
• To use images related to the MKL function, ensure that these images are created on a machine with the same CPU architecture.

Step 2. To the build node, ensure that squashfs-tools, libarchive, and make are installed.

Step 3. To the build node, upload the compressed image bootstrap file you obtained which named image_bootstrap.zip. For example, upload the compressed package to the new directory /opt/images. If the new directory cannot be found, create it manually. Note that both this new directory and /var/tmp cannot be an NFS mount.

Step 4. To the build node, run the following commands to extract the compressed package.

cd /opt/images
unzip image_bootstrap.zip

Step 5. To the build node, do one of the following to create image. The created image file is in the dist folder of the current directory.

• Run the following commands to create all images at once:

  cd /opt/images/image_bootstrap
  make all

• Run the following commands to create a group images at once:

  cd /opt/images/image_bootstrap
  make caffe
  make intel-caffe
  make intel-python
  make intel-pytorch
  make intel-tensorflow
  make jupyter
  make jupyterlab
  make mxnet
  make neon
  make paddlepaddle
  make pytorch
  make rstudio
  make scikit
  make tensorflow
  make tensorrt
  make cvat
  make letrain

  Notes: Check the network when one of the following errors is displayed:

  • ERROR MANIFEST_UNKNOWN: manifest unknown
  • ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='files.pythonhosted.org', port=443): Read timed out.
  • urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Error 104] Connection reset by peer>

Import images into LiCO as system-level images

Step 1. Copy the created images to the management node.

For example, copy the images to directory /opt/images. Note that both this directory and /var/tmp cannot be an NFS mount

Step 2. Run the following commands to import images into LiCO:

cd /opt/images
