Access via Secure Shell (SSH)
From the UNIX command line on the own workstation the login to a CINECA username xxyyzzkk is performed via one of the commands given in the following table:
| ssh xxyyzzkk@login.marconi.cineca.it | MARCONI login nodes |
|---|---|
| ssh xxyyzzkk@login.galileo.cineca.it | GALILEO login nodes |
| ssh xxyyzzkk@login.pico.cineca.it | PICO login nodes |
For WINDOWS, it is needed to download and install a specific SSH client, i.e. Putty or Tectia.
Access via Desktop Based Tool
It is possible access in a "desktop" based way (particularly useful if you are using visualization tools) by using one of two available applications:
- EnginFrame_OLD: this is a web application (webcompute.cineca.it)
- RCM: you need to download and install a client
Username and password have to be provided to access.
Access via Grid Services using GSI-SSH
An alternative way of accessing the cluster is to use GSI-SSH, a client-server application for accessing the Grid created by the UK’s NGS that provides
- terminal access to your account
- a single sign-on environment (no password required to access other machines)
- easy access to a number of additional functionalities, including secure and parallel file transfer
For using it the prerequisites are:
- a x509 certificate installed on your machine and acknowledged by CINECA, please refer to Copy of -X.509 certificate.
- an installation of a GSI-SSH client on your own workstation. You can install the client from binary on your local machine (instruction available at http://toolkit.globus.org/toolkit/docs/6.0/admin/install/#install-bininst) or you can install the multi platform Java tool Gsissh-Term (instruction available at http://www.lrz.de/services/compute/grid_en/software_en/gsisshterm_en/ )
All CINECA machines host a GSISSH server and can be reached via gsissh:
user$ gsissh <hostname> -p <port>
gsissh login.marconi.cineca.it -p 2222 | MARCONI login nodes |
|---|---|
gsissh gssh.marconi.cineca.it -p 2222 | MARCONI as PRACE door node |
gsissh gssh-prace.marconi.cineca.it -p 2222 | MARCONI login nodes, only from PRACE network |
gsissh login.pico.cineca.it -p 2222 | PICO login nodes |
gsissh gssh-prace.pico.cineca.it -p 2222 | PICO login nodes, only from PRACE network |
gsissh login.galileo.cineca.it -p 2222 | GALILEO login nodes |
