How-To's
Login
From the Viz nodes, connect to either Theta or Cooley at ALCF with the command(s):
ssh <username>@theta.alcf.anl.gov
ssh <username>@cooley.alcf.anl.gov
It asks for a password; this is the 8-digit code in the MobilePASS+ app on your phone (instructions on how to set that up are given by ALCF when you create an account).
Start Interactive Session on Cooley
To start an interactive session, run this script:
/projects/cfdml_aesp/Viz/cooley/Viz-SyncIO/subIntNodesTime.sh 1 120
This will reserve you one node for 120 minutes (this is the maximum time allowed by ALCF). You may need to edit the script to include the correct filesystem you are working with. This script includes "home", "grand", and "theta-fs0".
Copy Files From Viz Nodes To Cooley
scp -r [your username here]@jumpgate-phasta.colorado.edu:[insert file(s)/folder here] .
It will ask you for your password and verification; this is the same password used to login to jumpgate, not the 8-digit code from MobilePASS+.
Copy Files From Cooley To Viz Nodes
scp -r [insert file(s)/folder here] [your username here]@jumpgate-phasta.colorado.edu:[insert destination folder here]
It will ask you for your password and verification; this is the same password used to login to jumpgate, not the 8-digit code from MobilePASS+.
