How to use Combo

To start to use combo - our group cluster, you need to know something about it. The detail manual could be download from File:Combo Manual.pdf.

How to Log in Combo

Use PuTTY on Windows or Terminal on Linux, login using your account and password. You need to use some specific IP address to access combo.

First thing you need to do after first login

Change your password, in command line, type

passwd

to change your password. A good password will have a mix of lower- and upper-case characters, numbers, and punctuation marks, and should be at least 6 characters long. Some people like to put a punctuation mark/number in the middle of a word, e.g., Ha&pp6Y.

Second thing you need to do

You need to change ~/.bashrc file so that you can use the apps in shared folder easily, type

cp /share/apps/useful/setup/_.bashrc ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

to replace bashrc with prepared file. Then use this code to sync .bashrc to all nodes:

for i in compute-0-0 compute-0-2 compute-0-3 compute-0-4 compute-0-5 compute-0-6 compute-0-7 compute-0-8 compute-0-9 compute-0-10 compute-0-11 compute-0-12 compute-0-13 compute-0-14 compute-0-15 compute-0-16 ; do scp ~/.bashrc ${i}:~/ ; done
for i in compute-0-0 compute-0-2 compute-0-3 compute-0-4 compute-0-5 compute-0-6 compute-0-7 compute-0-8 compute-0-9 compute-0-10 compute-0-11 compute-0-12 compute-0-13 compute-0-14 compute-0-15 compute-0-16 ; do ssh ${i} source ~/.bashrc ; done
