titleAccessing the Research Cluster via SSH

First, login via SSH to the “dsmlp-login.ucsd.edu" Linux server using your UC San Diego Active Directory (AD) username (with ‘@dsmlp-login.ucsd.edu’) and password.  After logging in, you will be in a login node for the Research Cluster and should not perform any computation in the login node.

Login step-by-step guidance:

  1. Open command line interface - known as the 'Terminal' for MacOS and 'Command Prompt' for Windows.

  2. Enter command ‘ssh ADusername@dsmlp-login.ucsd.edu'.

You may be asked a question after entering your username. Select 'yes’ to continue connecting.

  1. Enter your password. Note: Your password will not display as you enter it.

  2. A successful login will display your last login information. For example, ‘Last login: Thu Aug 3 10:25:19 2023 from 137.110.14.162’. Note that you are now in the Login Node. 

DO NOT RUN JOBS IN THE LOGIN NODE. Jobs must only be run in a launched container. Follow the guidance in the next section (Launching a Container), before running your compute jobs.
