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.
