Please be sure to give me your CERN account name if you have one. If not, make sure to let me know when you obtain one.

If you have a shell preference (sh, bash, csh…) let me know. The default is bash.

When you first get an account from GROW, login to the head node to change your password. Currently you must login to the head node from a campus ip address.

1. If you are logging in from a University of Iowa campus ip address, log into the head node then continue to step 4. Else, skip to step 2.

[user@r-lnx210 ~]$ ssh user@grow-prod.its.uiowa.edu

2. Login to a login node

[user@localhost~]$ ssh user@grow-in0.its.uiowa.edu

Or…

[user@localhost~]$ ssh user@grow-in1.its.uiowa.edu

3. Login to the head node from the login node

[user@grow-in0 ~]$ ssh grow-prod

4. The system will prompt you to create public/private rsa key pairs. Do not use this option! Just hit the enter key three times. 5. Create a new password by using this command.

[user@grow-in0 ~]$ passwd

6. Log out of the head node.

After you have changed your password, log out of the head node. All logins should now be directed to the login nodes.

With your account, you have a home directory which is accessible from any node. This directory is completely backed up. There is not a disk quota set up for this directory yet. This directory is network mounted from the head node which only has 500GB of local storage. Please use this directory sparingly (source code, backup configurations….).

/home/username

You also have a directory which is located on our storage server.

There is not a disk quota set up for this directory yet. This directory is located on our 72TB storage server. This is the location to store data, run jobs, and anything else that could be storage intensive.

/share/data/users/username

There is another a directory which can be used to store data. This directory is owned by your grid account.

There is not a disk quota set up for this directory yet.

/share/data/se/store/user/cern_username

There are two login nodes to our cluster.

[user@r-lnx210 ~]$ ssh -X username@grow-in0.its.uiowa.edu

[user@r-lnx210 ~]$ ssh -X username@grow-in1.its.uiowa.edu

[user@r-lnx210 ~]$ ssh -X username@grow-prod.its.uiowa.edu

Passwords are stored on the head node and propagated to all other nodes.

Any time you want to change your password, you must log into the head node to do so. You must login from a campus IP address, so you can login to grow-in0.its.uiowa.edu or grow-in1.its.uiowa.edu first, or use any other machine on campus and follow these instructions.

[user@r-lnx210 ~]$ ssh username@grow-prod.its.uiowa.edu
[user@grow-prod ~]$ passwd

1. Source OSG environment
2. Enter your password
3. Request a proxy
4. Enter password

[user@grow-in1 ~]$ . /share/osg/ce/setup.sh
[user@grow-grid cms]$ grid-proxy-init
Enter GRID pass phrase for this identity:
Creating proxy ………………………………………………… Done
Your proxy is valid until: Wed Nov 16 20:23:55 2011

Source CMSSW environment by running the following command.

[user@grow-in0 ~]$ . /share/osg/app/cmssoft/cms/cmsset_default.sh

List CMSSW versions and locations

[user@grow-in0 ~]$ scramv1 list CMSSW
Listing installed projects....

  CMSSW           CMSSW_4_1_3                
                                         --> /share/cmssw/slc5_amd64_gcc434/cms/cmssw/CMSSW_4_1_3
  CMSSW           CMSSW_4_1_3_patch2         
                                         --> /share/cmssw/slc5_amd64_gcc434/cms/cmssw-patch/CMSSW_4_1_3_patch2

Choose a CMSSW release. This will create a directory in your current directory. Make sure you are in a directory where you have permission to create directories.

[user@grow-in0 dsquires]$ cmsrel CMSSW_4_4_1

CD into the directory.

[user@grow-in0 dsquires]$ cd CMSSW_4_4_1/

Import CMSSW libraries and directories

[user@grow-in0 CMSSW_4_4_1]$ cmsenv

When listing the directory you should get this…

[user@grow-in0 CMSSW_4_4_1]$ ls
bin  cfipython  config  doc  include  lib  logs  objs  python  src  test  tmp

Here are the instructions from cern. You will need to follow the steps above to setup cmssw.

[user@grow-in0 condor_test-1]$ condor_submit submit_filename
Submitting job(s)……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Logging submit event(s)……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
150 job(s) submitted to cluster 26.

Notice that Condor gives you the job number here - “26”. This can be used to query the job queue.

[user@grow-in0 condor_test-1]$ condor_q

You can query your job by adding the job number as a parameter to the command.

[user@grow-in0 condor_test-1]$ condor_q 26

This command lets you see the status of each node in the Condor pool.
