Wiki page on Cluster usage

* Here you find a link to the cluster wiki with general information on computing resources available

* For problems with the cluster, send an email to thcluster(at)nat.tum.de

* access the machines via:  >>  ssh yourTUMUserID@newton4.t30.ph.tum.de  (or newton1, newton2) – these three (yes, newton1,2,4 only!) are the ones which are directly available to our group through ssh. To run jobs on other machines, you must use the SLURM queueing system. Please check the wiki!

NB: eduVPN is required!

 

 

Printers at TUM

* Remember to register the MAC address of your laptop on the Wiki pages at the link https://collab.dvb.bayern/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=TUMnat&title=PH+Theory+Cluster  (see section “Remote Access”)

* For issues not solved in the Wiki page, contact the IT support: itsupport(at)ph.tum.de

IMPORTANT:
Either print from the TUM Desktop computers (by logging in with TUM credentials) or from your own laptop (ethernet connection required)

* To print from the personal laptop (the print jobs have to be forwarded to the TUM print server under your TUM print account):

1. Have CUPS installed (on Mac, it is already installed and can be checked via the command: >> lpstat -r )

2. Configure the print server by editing the file “client.conf”: >> sudo nano /etc/cups/client.conf

   Add the following two lines:

   ServerName cups.t30.ph.tum.de

   User yourTUMUserID

   NB: you must not use your own user ID (it will cause all sorts of problems and fail after a few pages due to the missing print quota)!

3. Make sure the correct user is used: >> defaults write org.cups.PrintingPrefs User yourTUMUserID

4. Test printing: >> lpr -P PrinterName file.pdf   where “PrinterName” is the printer name (use ps1, ps2 or pscolor)

5. Check the list of available printers on the TUM server: >> lpstat -h cups.t30.ph.tum.de -a    

   NB: it works only within the TUM network!
