The HPS Installer can be used to create a complete Ansys HPC Platform Services (HPS) deployment in a scripted or non-scripted manner.
The HPS Installer consists of two setup programs:
Root setup
This program performs the following steps:
Installs Docker
Installs Docker Compose
Creates the HPS administration user account
Sets the base installation directory for HPS
Sets directory locations for file storage, cluster shared storage, and applications
Installs the Process Launcher Service
Installs the Autoscaling Service
Installs the Evaluator program
User setup
This program performs the following steps:
Checks for required directories and files
Deploys the HPS Core Services using Docker Compose
Configures secrets for the Autoscaling Service
Configures the Autoscaling Service
Both setup programs must be run to create a complete HPS deployment. Note that prerequisites must be installed before running the setup programs. These are included in the HPS installation package.
To deploy HPS, choose either automated installation using an install script or interactive installation, and follow the corresponding steps.
