Accessing the login node (ssh)¶
Use of the login node should be limited to 'lightweight' tasks such as file browsing/copying/moving or submitting jobs into the SLURM scheduler.
You can access the Research Cluster login node remotely through the two below mechanisms.
SSH through a terminal¶
To SSH to the login node from your local computer, first open a terminal/commandline and then use the ssh command with username being your Otago username and the address for the remote computer being aoraki-login.otago.ac.nz which will look like this: ssh lasfi12p@aoraki-login.otago.ac.nz
Terminal
ssh <otago-username>@aoraki-login.otago.ac.nz
ssh <otago-username>@aoraki-login-stu.uod.otago.ac.nz
Note
If you are using Student Wi-Fi or VPN, you will need to use the alternate address aoraki-login-stu: ssh <otago-username>@aoraki-login-stu.uod.otago.ac.nz
SSH within OnDemand¶
To use the cluster shell access within OnDemand, first connect to the Otago OnDemand web portal and then from the top menu bar select the menu Clusters > Aoraki Cluster Shell Access.
