Logon and Copy Files

Please use the "Switch to Details" button to return to the lab instructions.

In this section we will logon to one of the CTC login nodes and copy the lab files to a lab folder on $HOME.

Prerequisites:

  1. Read Getting Started on Velocity.
  2. You will need a cluster account. See the Allocations page for more information, or contact User Accounts at allocations@tc.cornell.edu.

Instructions:

  1. Logon to one of the CTC linux logon machines using any of the methods described in the Access section of Getting Started on Velocity.
  2. Create a subfolder called "lab" under your home directory.
    mkdir $HOME/lab or
    mkdir ~/lab
  3. Copy all lab files and directories found in /ctc/vwlabs/Progressive to $HOME/lab or ~/lab.
    cp -r /ctc/vwlabs/Progressive/* $HOME/lab or
    cp -r /ctc/vwlabs/Progressive/* ~/lab
  4. If you have not already done so, run the following script, which creates ssh keys and an MPI file required for batch runs.   You will not need to run it again unless the files it creates are inadvertently deleted or changed.
    /ctc/tools/setup_ssh_mpd_linux.sh 
    Complete details on what the script does are in the Appendix of the document Important vsched Information for Linux

Results:

You should now have a folder called $HOME/lab/ or ~/lab containing all of the files necessary to complete the lab exercise. Remain logged on to a CTC linux login node if you intend to go on to the next section of this lab.
