Thanks Ben. Do they have to select a specific project or sponsor when they apply for an account? Raj On Jun 24, 2014, at 4:13 PM, Allen, Benjamin S. <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Raj,
Sure. Have them apply for accounts on https://accounts.jlse.anl.gov. If they’re foreign nationals they’ll have to go through the ANL-593 process.
Also if they need privileged access, (i.e. sudo), we’ll have to issue them a one-time password (OTP) token, i.e. cryptocard. We’re in a bit of flux with OTP tokens as we transition to JLSE, so this may take a bit longer than normal.

Hi Ben, Is it possible to get our external collaborators access to tubes?
Thanks, Raj

Hi Raj,
I’ve added sudo privileges on tubes for you. Please let me know if it works. Your sudo password is your ALCF two-factor password.

Hi Andrew, I am able to access tubes by logging in to ft.alcf.anl.gov first. Is it possible for me to get sudo access?
Thanks, Raj

Incidentally, it looks like hyperthreading is currently turned on in the BIOS, so there are 16 logical cores showing up in /proc/cpuinfo. Would you prefer hyperthreading to be enabled or disabled?

Thanks Andrew. For the node configuration, just the number of cores and memory information would suffice.

Raj-
They're on the standard ALCF public network; I don't know the details about what is between them and the ESnet 100G pipe, but I've Cc:ed Ed who should be able to provide something. It's possible that he already has a network diagram that would suffice. The test node would be in the same location on the public network as the production DTNs (using the same network ports that were previously used by dtn09-dtn12).
FYI, I believe you should be able to log in to tubes now. The 10G interfaces are xeth1, xeth3, xeth5, and xeth7, configured with IP addresses 140.221.68.237, 140.221.68.238, 140.221.68.239, and 140.221.68.240. I don't believe there's anything special in the config of these 10G interfaces aside from being configured with jumbo frames (MTU 9000). On all of these interfaces, port range 5900-5999 should be available for TCP and UDP traffic to/from your UofC hosts 192.170.230.50 and 192.170.230.51.
What details do you need on the node configuration?

Ben, Andrew, Can you please send me some details on the DTN testbed node configuration and how it is connected to the ESnet's 100G network? I would like to include some details in a report that is due this friday. If you have any rough sketch or image, that would be helpful as well.
Thanks, Raj

Hi Raj,
I’ve setup access to ALCF’s future tech for you, as thats where we’ve put the DTN testbed. You should now be able to SSH to ft.alcf.anl.gov. Your credentials are “kettimut” and your ALCF cryptocard password.
The DTN testbed’s name is “tubes.ftm.alcf.anl.gov”, Andrew will let you know when its ready for your use.
The Future Tech wiki: https://collab.mcs.anl.gov/display/FT/Future+Tech+Home, describes the other Future-tech systems.
Please subscribe to the FT-Discuss ALCF mailing list here: https://lists.alcf.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ft-discuss if you haven’t already. This is a low volume mailing list that is used to discuss various Future Tech topics as well as used to make announcements regarding the various systems within Future Tech.
If you run into any missing software packages within the FT environment, please let me know. We have a small collection installed under /soft.
Please note all Future Tech systems are shared resources and are not scheduled, so please be courteous of others users. Ensure you check that another user isn’t already running on the system before you start using it. If required we can grant you exclusive access to the DTN testbed, but I Idoubt anyone else will be on the system.
Also, while currently nothing within Future Tech is covered under an NDA, we often have early access hardware and software that comes with certain restrictions. These will be announced via FT-Disucss when they’re installed.
Lastly, we’re in the middle of a transition to from ALCF Future Tech to ANL’s Joint Laboratory for Systems Evaluation (JLSE). You’ll see a request via ft-discuss in the coming weeks for you to create a “JLSE” account.
Please let me know if you have any problems logging into the Future Tech environment.
Thanks,
Ben
