Access and login
Getting access
To gain access to the storage services, a formal application is required. The process is explained at the How to apply for a user account page.
Users must be registered and authorised by the project responsible before getting access.
To access or transfer data, we recommend to use ssh or
rsync. More details on our page about File transfer.
Logging in
Access to your $HOME on NIRD and the project data storage area is through the
login containers.
Login containers are running on servers directly connected to
the storage on both sites -that is Tromsø and Trondheim- to facilitate data
handling right where the primary data resides. Each login container offers a
maximum of 16 CPU cores and 128GiB of memory.
Login containers can be accessed via following addresses:
login-tos.nird.sigma2.no
login-trd.nird.sigma2.no
Note
We run four login containers per site.
If you plan to start a screen session on one of the login containers or
you wish to copy data with the help of rsync, you should log in
to a specific container.
Addresses are:
loginX-tos.nird.sigma2.no
loginX-trd.nird.sigma2.no
X - can have values between 0 and 3.
