If you will be running eic-shell on the JLab farm systems, some pointers for getting started on the SDCC system are included below.
Connecting to an iFarm node
Before connecting to an iFarm node, you must first connect to the login node via -
ssh USER@login.jlab.org
Where you should replace USER with your username. You will be prompted to enter your password. For the login node this is your PIN + two-factor token. Do not insert a space between the PIN and token. Once on the login node, you can then connect to an interactive node via -
ssh USER@ifarm9
You will again be prompted for your password, this time, it’s your CUE password.
Other iFarm nodes can be specified if desired. Additionally, you can also just use -
ssh -J USER@login.jlab.org USER`@ifarm9
to do both steps at once.
See this Service Now documentation for further pointers and assistance.
For running larger/longer simulation/reconstruction jobs, you may find the scripts in the snippets repository useful.
