To start a VNC Server on the bwUniCluster 2.0 you must log into the cluster with your username and password as usual. Please do not start the VNC Server on a login node but request an [[BwUniCluster_2.0_Batch_Queues#Interactive_Jobs|interactive job]] using for example the following command:
$ salloc -p single -n 1 -t 120 --mem=5000
You should not start the server on a login node but request an interactive job using for example the following command.

$ msub -V -I -l nodes=1:ppn=1 -l walltime=0:02:00:00

To start a VNC Server on the bwUniCluster 2.0 you must log into the cluster with your username and password as usual. Please do not start the VNC Server on a login node but request an interactive job using for example the following command:

$ salloc -p single -n 1 -t 120 --mem=5000

Now start the VNC Server on the assigned compute node as follows:

$ module load vis/tigervnc
$ run_vncserver
