Greetings. Following instructions on http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/doc/install.html we have successfully installed and run edex but run into a hiccup with CAVE. Bear in mind we are on a non-NWS linux (RHEL 6.3) workstation that has not previously had AWIPS installed. When running /awips2/cave/cave.sh & (as user awips from a terminal window) we obtain the CAVE splash screen (after having originally specified OAX for a Site and localhost as the EDEX server). This is followed by the CAVE window appearing (menu and tool bars only, no map) and a error warning box that states “Error creating NcGridInventory”. After clicking OK to close the warning box, the splash screen progress bar continues progressing to about a half way when CAVE interface disappears. The terminal window which the cave.sh command was run then contains the following core dump message: [awips@lnx_env001 cave]$ cave.sh & [1] 31766 [awips@lnx_env001 cave]$ Cleaning consoleLogs: find /home/awips/caveData/logs/consoleLogs -type f -name *.log -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \; /awips2/cave/caveUtil.sh: line 291: 31803 Aborted (core dumped) ( export pid=`/bin/bash -c 'echo $PPID'`; LOGFILE="${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}_${curTime}_pid_${pid}_console.log"; export LOGFILE_CAVE="${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}_${curTime}_pid_${pid}_alertviz.log"; export LOGFILE_PERFORMANCE="${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}_${curTime}_pid_${pid}_perf.log"; if [ -w ${LOGDIR} ]; then touch ${LOGFILE}; fi; redirect="true"; USER_ARGS=(); while [[ -n $1 ]]; do if [[ "$1" == "-noredirect" ]]; then redirect="false"; else USER_ARGS+=("$1"); fi; shift; done; ARCH_ARGS=""; if [ -f /awips2/java/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so ]; then ARCH_ARGS="-vm /awips2/java/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so"; fi; lookupINI "${USER_ARGS[@]}"; if [[ "${runMonitorThreads}" == "true" ]]; then nohup ${CAVE_INSTALL}/monitorThreads.sh $pid >> /dev/null 2>&1 & fi; if [[ "${redirect}" == "true" ]]; then exec ${CAVE_INSTALL}/cave ${ARCH_ARGS} ${SWITCHES} "${CAVE_INI_ARG}" "${USER_ARGS[@]}" > ${LOGFILE} 2>&1; else exec ${CAVE_INSTALL}/cave ${ARCH_ARGS} ${SWITCHES} "${CAVE_INI_ARG}" "${USER_ARGS[@]}" 2>&1 | tee ${LOGFILE}; fi ) [awips@lnx_env001 cave]$ We did find along the way we needed to have /data/fxa/cave/<hostname> created but otherwise don’t see anything obvious or subtle in the terminal window output to address this issue.

This non-operational version of AWIPS II runs on 64-bit Red Hat and CentOS 6, and is provided as tarball archive and via remote yum repository. See the Unidata AWIPS II software page for more information: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/ Full installation instructions can be found here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/doc/install.html For beta testers, we have made available an EDEX Data Server in the Microsoft Azure cloud, which you can connect to at edex-azure.unidata.ucar.edu<http://edex-azure.unidata.ucar.edu/> (read the above linked installation instructions carefully). This is a *testing* server only, for us to investigate performance. Data availability has no guarantee, services may be stopped or restarted without notification, load times may grow long with many simultaneous connections, and so forth. Models from NGRID and CONDUIT are available, as are Satellite imagery from UNIWISC and NIMAGE feeds, upper air and surface observations, and watches and warnings and other text products. Also note, this cloud server does not offer NEXRAD level 3 site products, instead we have made available FNEXRAD composite (GINI satellite) images for DHR, DVL, EET, HHC and more, which can be displayed in NCP and D2D. Data availability on this cloud instance is limited, therefore we encourage you to install your own EDEX Data Server, and configure the products you would like in the LDM files etc/ldmd.conf and etc/pqact.conf (installed by the awips2-ldm RPM). We encourage participants to use this mailing list for troubleshooting and other questions which benefit us all. Enjoy!
