The login nodes of the bwHPC clusters are the access point to the compute system, your <code>$HOME</code> directory and your workspaces.
After registration (registration procedure at [[Registration/bwForCluster]]), the bwForCluster NEMO can be accessed via a Secure Shell like <tt>ssh</tt> on Linux and Mac or MobaXterm on Windows.
All users must log in through these nodes to submit jobs to the cluster.
Please refer further to '''[[Registration/bwForCluster#Information_for_already_registered_users|Information for already registered users]]''' at the bottom of the bwForCluster registration page, especially the [[Registration/Login|Login Guide]].


'''Prerequisites for successful login:'''

See [[Registration/Login#Username|Login Guide]].


Login to bwForCluster NEMO is only possible with a Secure Shell (SSH) client for which you must know your username on the cluster and the hostname of the login nodes.
From linux machines, you can log in using
For more general information on SSH clients, visit the [[Registration/Login/Client|SSH clients Guide]].


== Username ==
ssh <UserID>@login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de # alias for login1
ssh <UserID>@login1.nemo.uni-freiburg.de
ssh <UserID>@login2.nemo.uni-freiburg.de


If you want to use the NEMO cluster you need to add a prefix to your local username.
To run graphical applications, you can use the -X or -Y flag to openssh:
For prefixes please refer to the [[Registration/Login/Username|'''Username Wiki''']].


Example:<br/>
ssh -Y -l <UserID> login1.nemo.uni-freiburg.de
* If your local username for the University is <code>vwxyz1234</code> and you are a user from the University of Freiburg this would combine to: <code>fr_vwxyz1234</code>.
ssh -Y -l <UserID> login2.nemo.uni-freiburg.de


For better performance on slow connections you should use e.g. [[VNC]].


== SSH from Windows ==
== Hostnames ==


The system has two login nodes.
See [[Registration/Login#Username|Login Guide]].
You have to select the login node yourself.

== Login with SSH command (Linux, Mac, Windows) ==

Most Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS, and *BSD, as well as newer versions of MS Windows 10 and 11, have a built-in SSH client provided by the OpenSSH project.
If you want to use the full set of Linux commands on Windows, you can also install the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install Windows Subsystem for Linux] (WSL) on newer Windows 10 and 11 versions very easily.
Then start a terminal, e.g. "xterm", "konsole" or "gnome-terminal" under Linux, the "Terminal" app under Mac OS or under Windows the "Terminal" app (command: 'cmd') or "PowerShell".

For login use one of the following ssh commands:

ssh <username>@login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de
ssh -l <username> login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de

To run graphical applications, you can use the <code>-X</code> or <code>-Y</code> flag to <code>ssh</code>:

ssh -Y -l <username> login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de

For better graphical performance, we recommend using the VNC module on the cluster: 'module load vis/turbovnc'.

== Login with graphical SSH client (Windows) ==

For Windows we suggest using MobaXterm for login and file transfer.
Start ''MobaXterm'', fill in the following fields:

To log in to NEMO, you must provide your [[Registration/Password|service password]].
Proceed as follows:
# Use SSH for a login node.
# When you log in for the first time, you must confirm the SSH fingerprint of the login node.
# The system will ask you for your service password <code>Password:</code>. Please enter it and confirm it with Enter/Return. If you do not have a service password yet or have forgotten it, please create one (see [[Registration/Password]]).
# You will be greeted by the cluster, followed by a shell.

Access to NEMO is limited to IP addresses from the BelWü network. All home institutions of our current users are connected to BelWü, so if you are on your campus network (e.g. in your office or on the campus WiFi) you should be able to connect to NEMO without restrictions. If you are outside one of the BelWü networks (e.g. at home), a VPN connection to the home institution or a connection to an SSH jump host at the home institution must be established first.

The login nodes of the bwHPC clusters are the access point to the compute system, your $HOME directory and your workspaces. All users must log in through these nodes to submit jobs to the cluster.

Prerequisites for successful login:

You need to have


Login to bwForCluster NEMO

Login to bwForCluster NEMO is only possible with a Secure Shell (SSH) client for which you must know your username on the cluster and the hostname of the login nodes. For more general information on SSH clients, visit the SSH clients Guide.

Username

If you want to use the NEMO cluster you need to add a prefix to your local username. For prefixes please refer to the Username Wiki.

Example:

  • If your local username for the University is vwxyz1234 and you are a user from the University of Freiburg this would combine to: fr_vwxyz1234.


Hostnames

The system has two login nodes. You have to select the login node yourself.

Hostname Node type
login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de NEMO first login node alias
login1.nemo.uni-freiburg.de NEMO first login node
login2.nemo.uni-freiburg.de NEMO second login node


Login with SSH command (Linux, Mac, Windows)

Most Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS, and *BSD, as well as newer versions of MS Windows 10 and 11, have a built-in SSH client provided by the OpenSSH project. If you want to use the full set of Linux commands on Windows, you can also install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on newer Windows 10 and 11 versions very easily. Then start a terminal, e.g. "xterm", "konsole" or "gnome-terminal" under Linux, the "Terminal" app under Mac OS or under Windows the "Terminal" app (command: 'cmd') or "PowerShell".

For login use one of the following ssh commands: 

ssh <username>@login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de
ssh -l <username> login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de

To run graphical applications, you can use the -X or -Y flag to ssh: 

ssh -Y -l <username> login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de

For better graphical performance, we recommend using the VNC module on the cluster: 'module load vis/turbovnc'.

Login with graphical SSH client (Windows)

For Windows we suggest using MobaXterm for login and file transfer.

Start MobaXterm, fill in the following fields: 

Remote name              : login.nemo.uni-freiburg.de    # or login1.nemo.uni-freiburg.de, login2.nemo.uni-freiburg.de
Specify user name        : <username>
Port                     : 22

After that click on 'ok'. Then a terminal will be opened and there you can enter your credentials.

Login Example

To log in to NEMO, you must provide your service password. Proceed as follows:

  1. Use SSH for a login node.
  2. When you log in for the first time, you must confirm the SSH fingerprint of the login node.
  3. The system will ask you for your service password Password:. Please enter it and confirm it with Enter/Return. If you do not have a service password yet or have forgotten it, please create one (see Registration/Password).
  4. You will be greeted by the cluster, followed by a shell.

Allowed Activities on Login Nodes

To guarantee usability for all the users of clusters you must not run your compute jobs on the login nodes. Compute jobs must be submitted to the queuing system. Any compute job running on the login nodes will be terminated without any notice. Any long-running compilation or any long-running pre- or post-processing of batch jobs must also be submitted to the queuing system.

The login nodes of the bwHPC clusters are the access point to the compute system, your $HOME directory and your workspaces. These nodes are shared with all the users therefore, your activities on the login nodes are limited to primarily set up your batch jobs. Your activities may also be:

  • short compilation of your program code and

We advise users to use interactive jobs for compute and memory intensive tasks like compiling.
