<div>==CVL Introduction==<br />
*The CVL runs on Linux/Unix servers, primarily CentOS (a Red Hat derivative). As such, familiarity with the Unix command-line is a useful skill.<br />
*You can access the CVL and it's software while working on a project from home or campus. This generally comes in either command-line form or as a graphical application launched via the command-line (referred to as a "shell"). There are many tutorials from which you can familiarize yourself with the basic unix commands that can be performed via the command-line shell. Fortunately, not very many of these command-line utilities are required to access and use the CVL software. <br />
<br />
*The most general commands you use to navigate the file system are:<br />
**'''ls''': listing the files in your home directory<br />
**'''cd''': changing directory<br />
**'''mkdir''': making project directories<br />
**'''mv''': moving files in and out of the directories<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of tutorials:<br />
*'''[http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners]'''<br />
*'''[http://linoxide.com/guide/linux-command-shelf.html Linux Commands in structured order]'''<br />
<br />
==Connecting to the CVL remotely==<br />
'''* Note: You will need to use a VPN or http://ssh.ece.vt.edu to connect to computers off campus'''<br />
<br />
* '''You will need an ECE account before using the CVL. You can create an ECE account [[here https://computing.ece.vt.edu/accounts]]'''<br />
<br />
*The standard way to connect to the CVL remotely is with the program called "Secure Shell" (SSH), which has wide support on many operating systems. SSH establishes a secure, encrypted connection from the local shell to a command shell on a remote machine, and even allows for file transfers over the same encrypted channel.<br />
<br />
'''Applications on Unix are not restricted to just command-line programs!'''<br />
<br />
*The Unix standard for graphical applications is called "X-windows," or just "X" for short. In fact, the graphics capabilities of this X-windows system are much more flexible than in the Windows or MacOS because they allow for interactions (viewing windows, buttons, pointing, clicking, etc) on a different machine than the one running the application. All that is required is a network connection between the two, and what's referred to as an "X-server" on the local machine that allows the user to physically view the windows and manipulate the mouse. This "client/server" naming convention seems backwards in that the "server" runs on the local computer (e.g. your Windows laptop), and the "client" is the application running on the CVL (e.g. Matlab). Linux clients generally have this X-server installed by default, but Windows users have to install one if graphical access to the CVL is required.<br />
<br />
==Connecting with Windows==<br />
<br />
*In order to access the CVL from a Windows system, you must have a SSH client and a X-windows server installed on your Windows machine. We recommend using '''[[MobaXterm]]''', an all-in-one program that lets you SSH with X11-Fowarding enabled, and lets you copy files to and from your Windows machine to the remote server. <br />
<br />
*Click the link below to see How to Install and use MobaXterm to connect to CVL<br />
<br />
*Windows 10 1803 may have an ssh client installed. You can run this on the command prompt like this <br />
Start menu cmd ssh<br />
<br />
==='''[[MobaXterm]]'''===<br />
<br />
==Connecting with Linux/Unix==<br />
<br />
#Open a terminal (shell) and type:<br />
<br />
ssh -X ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu<br />
<br />
#Enter your ECE credentials (see [[Main Page]] to edit or create your account)<br />
<br />
===Moving files to the CVL===<br />
To copy a file from your local computer to your CVL home directory, type the following command:<br />
<br />
scp localfile ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:<br />
<br />
Use -r to copy the whole directory (folder)<br />
<br />
scp -r ~/directory ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:<br />
<br />
To copy a file from your CVL home directory to your local computer, type the following command:<br />
<br />
scp ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:remotefile ~/LocalDirectory <br />
<br />
Use -r command to copy the whole directory<br />
<br />
scp -r ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:remoteDirectory ~/LocalDirectory</div>Rbrand7https://computing.ece.vt.edu/wiki/CrashplanCrashplan2020-03-16T14:30:31Z<p>Rbrand7: /* Installation */</p>

----</div>Rbrand7https://computing.ece.vt.edu/wiki/Using_the_CVLUsing the CVL2020-02-13T20:29:48Z<p>Rbrand7: /* Connecting with Linux/Unix */</p>
<hr />
<div>==CVL Introduction==<br />
*The CVL runs on Linux/Unix servers, primarily CentOS (a Red Hat derivative). As such, familiarity with the Unix command-line is a useful skill.<br />
*You can access the CVL and it's software while working on a project from home or campus. This generally comes in either command-line form or as a graphical application launched via the command-line (referred to as a "shell"). There are many tutorials from which you can familiarize yourself with the basic unix commands that can be performed via the command-line shell. Fortunately, not very many of these command-line utilities are required to access and use the CVL software. <br />
<br />
*The most general commands you use to navigate the file system are:<br />
**'''ls''': listing the files in your home directory<br />
**'''cd''': changing directory<br />
**'''mkdir''': making project directories<br />
**'''mv''': moving files in and out of the directories<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of tutorials:<br />
*'''[http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners]'''<br />
*'''[http://linoxide.com/guide/linux-command-shelf.html Linux Commands in structured order]'''<br />
<br />
==Connecting to the CVL remotely==<br />
* '''You will need an ECE account before using the CVL. You can create an ECE account [[here https://computing.ece.vt.edu/accounts]]'''<br />
<br />
*The standard way to connect to the CVL remotely is with the program called "Secure Shell" (SSH), which has wide support on many operating systems. SSH establishes a secure, encrypted connection from the local shell to a command shell on a remote machine, and even allows for file transfers over the same encrypted channel.<br />
<br />
'''Applications on Unix are not restricted to just command-line programs!'''<br />
<br />
*The Unix standard for graphical applications is called "X-windows," or just "X" for short. In fact, the graphics capabilities of this X-windows system are much more flexible than in the Windows or MacOS because they allow for interactions (viewing windows, buttons, pointing, clicking, etc) on a different machine than the one running the application. All that is required is a network connection between the two, and what's referred to as an "X-server" on the local machine that allows the user to physically view the windows and manipulate the mouse. This "client/server" naming convention seems backwards in that the "server" runs on the local computer (e.g. your Windows laptop), and the "client" is the application running on the CVL (e.g. Matlab). Linux clients generally have this X-server installed by default, but Windows users have to install one if graphical access to the CVL is required.<br />
<br />
==Connecting with Windows==<br />
<br />
*In order to access the CVL from a Windows system, you must have a SSH client and a X-windows server installed on your Windows machine. We recommend using '''[[MobaXterm]]''', an all-in-one program that lets you SSH with X11-Fowarding enabled, and lets you copy files to and from your Windows machine to the remote server. <br />
<br />
*Click the link below to see How to Install and use MobaXterm to connect to CVL<br />
<br />
*Windows 10 1803 may have an ssh client installed. You can run this on the command prompt like this <br />
Start menu cmd ssh<br />
<br />
==='''[[MobaXterm]]'''===<br />
<br />
==Connecting with Linux/Unix==<br />
<br />
#Open a terminal (shell) and type:<br />
<br />
ssh -X ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu<br />
<br />
#Enter your ECE credentials (see [[Main Page]] to edit or create your account)<br />
<br />
===Moving files to the CVL===<br />
To copy a file from your local computer to your CVL home directory, type the following command:<br />
<br />
scp localfile ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:<br />
<br />
Use -r to copy the whole directory (folder)<br />
<br />
scp -r ~/directory ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:<br />
<br />
To copy a file from your CVL home directory to your local computer, type the following command:<br />
<br />
scp ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:remotefile ~/LocalDirectory <br />
<br />
Use -r command to copy the whole directory<br />
<br />
scp -r ECEUSERNAME@cvlws[01-10].ece.vt.edu:remoteDirectory ~/LocalDirectory</div>Rbrand7https://computing.ece.vt.edu/wiki/Main_PageMain Page2019-09-23T15:06:34Z<p>Rbrand7: /* SSH Services */</p>

<hr />
<div>==CVL Introduction==<br />
*The CVL runs on Linux/Unix servers, primarily CentOS (a Red Hat derivative). As such, familiarity with the Unix command-line is a useful skill.<br />
*You can access the CVL and it's software while working on a project from home or campus. This generally comes in either command-line form or as a graphical application launched via the command-line (referred to as a "shell"). There are many tutorials from which you can familiarize yourself with the basic unix commands that can be performed via the command-line shell. Fortunately, not very many of these command-line utilities are required to access and use the CVL software. <br />
<br />
*The most general commands you use to navigate the file system are:<br />
**'''ls''': listing the files in your home directory<br />
**'''cd''': changing directory<br />
**'''mkdir''': making project directories<br />
**'''mv''': moving files in and out of the directories<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of tutorials:<br />
*'''[http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners]'''<br />
*'''[http://linoxide.com/guide/linux-command-shelf.html Linux Commands in structured order]'''<br />
<br />
==Connecting to the CVL remotely==<br />
* '''You will need an ECE account before using the CVL. You can create an ECE account [[here https://computing.ece.vt.edu/accounts]]'''<br />
<br />
*The standard way to connect to the CVL remotely is with the program called "Secure Shell" (SSH), which has wide support on many operating systems. SSH establishes a secure, encrypted connection from the local shell to a command shell on a remote machine, and even allows for file transfers over the same encrypted channel.<br />
<br />
'''Applications on Unix are not restricted to just command-line programs!'''<br />
<br />
*The Unix standard for graphical applications is called "X-windows," or just "X" for short. In fact, the graphics capabilities of this X-windows system are much more flexible than in the Windows or MacOS because they allow for interactions (viewing windows, buttons, pointing, clicking, etc) on a different machine than the one running the application. All that is required is a network connection between the two, and what's referred to as an "X-server" on the local machine that allows the user to physically view the windows and manipulate the mouse. This "client/server" naming convention seems backwards in that the "server" runs on the local computer (e.g. your Windows laptop), and the "client" is the application running on the CVL (e.g. Matlab). Linux clients generally have this X-server installed by default, but Windows users have to install one if graphical access to the CVL is required.<br />
<br />
==Connecting with Windows==<br />
<br />
*In order to access the CVL from a Windows system, you must have a SSH client and a X-windows server installed on your Windows machine. We recommend using '''[[MobaXterm]]''', an all-in-one program that lets you SSH with X11-Fowarding enabled, and lets you copy files to and from your Windows machine to the remote server. <br />
<br />
*Click the link below to see How to Install and use MobaXterm to connect to CVL<br />
<br />
*Windows 10 1803 may have an ssh client installed. You can run this on the command prompt like this <br />
Start menu cmd ssh<br />

<div>==CVL Introduction==<br />
*The CVL runs on Linux/Unix servers, primarily CentOS (a Red Hat derivative). As such, familiarity with the Unix command-line is a useful skill.<br />
*You can access the CVL and it's software while working on a project from home or campus. This generally comes in either command-line form or as a graphical application launched via the command-line (referred to as a "shell"). There are many tutorials from which you can familiarize yourself with the basic unix commands that can be performed via the command-line shell. Fortunately, not very many of these command-line utilities are required to access and use the CVL software. <br />
<br />
*The most general commands you use to navigate the file system are:<br />
**'''ls''': listing the files in your home directory<br />
**'''cd''': changing directory<br />
**'''mkdir''': making project directories<br />
**'''mv''': moving files in and out of the directories<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of tutorials:<br />
*'''[http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners]'''<br />
*'''[http://linoxide.com/guide/linux-command-shelf.html Linux Commands in structured order]'''<br />
<br />
==Connecting to the CVL remotely==<br />
* '''You will need an ECE account before using the CVL. You can create an ECE account [[here https://computing.ece.vt.edu/accounts]]'''<br />
<br />
*The standard way to connect to the CVL remotely is with the program called "Secure Shell" (SSH), which has wide support on many operating systems. SSH establishes a secure, encrypted connection from the local shell to a command shell on a remote machine, and even allows for file transfers over the same encrypted channel.<br />
<br />
'''Applications on Unix are not restricted to just command-line programs!'''<br />
<br />
*The Unix standard for graphical applications is called "X-windows," or just "X" for short. In fact, the graphics capabilities of this X-windows system are much more flexible than in the Windows or MacOS because they allow for interactions (viewing windows, buttons, pointing, clicking, etc) on a different machine than the one running the application. All that is required is a network connection between the two, and what's referred to as an "X-server" on the local machine that allows the user to physically view the windows and manipulate the mouse. This "client/server" naming convention seems backwards in that the "server" runs on the local computer (e.g. your Windows laptop), and the "client" is the application running on the CVL (e.g. Matlab). Linux clients generally have this X-server installed by default, but Windows users have to install one if graphical access to the CVL is required.<br />
<br />
==Connecting with Windows==<br />
<br />
*In order to access the CVL from a Windows system, you must have a SSH client and a X-windows server installed on your Windows machine. We recommend using '''[[MobaXterm]]''', an all-in-one program that lets you SSH with X11-Fowarding enabled, and lets you copy files to and from your Windows machine to the remote server. <br />
<br />
*Click the link below to see How to Install and use MobaXterm to connect to CVL<br />
<br />
*Windows 10 1803 may have an ssh client installed. You can run this on the command prompt like this <br />
Start > cmd > ssh<br />

<hr />
<div>==CVL Introduction==<br />
*The CVL runs on Linux/Unix servers, primarily CentOS (a Red Hat derivative). As such, familiarity with the Unix command-line is a useful skill.<br />
*You can access the CVL and it's software while working on a project from home or campus. This generally comes in either command-line form or as a graphical application launched via the command-line (referred to as a "shell"). There are many tutorials from which you can familiarize yourself with the basic unix commands that can be performed via the command-line shell. Fortunately, not very many of these command-line utilities are required to access and use the CVL software. <br />
<br />
*The most general commands you use to navigate the file system are:<br />
**'''ls''': listing the files in your home directory<br />
**'''cd''': changing directory<br />
**'''mkdir''': making project directories<br />
**'''mv''': moving files in and out of the directories<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of tutorials:<br />
*'''[http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners]'''<br />
*'''[http://linoxide.com/guide/linux-command-shelf.html Linux Commands in structured order]'''<br />
<br />
==Connecting to the CVL remotely==<br />
* '''You will need an ECE account before using the CVL. You can create an ECE account [[here https://computing.ece.vt.edu/accounts]]'''<br />
<br />
*The standard way to connect to the CVL remotely is with the program called "Secure Shell" (SSH), which has wide support on many operating systems. SSH establishes a secure, encrypted connection from the local shell to a command shell on a remote machine, and even allows for file transfers over the same encrypted channel.<br />
<br />
'''Applications on Unix are not restricted to just command-line programs!'''<br />
<br />
*The Unix standard for graphical applications is called "X-windows," or just "X" for short. In fact, the graphics capabilities of this X-windows system are much more flexible than in the Windows or MacOS because they allow for interactions (viewing windows, buttons, pointing, clicking, etc) on a different machine than the one running the application. All that is required is a network connection between the two, and what's referred to as an "X-server" on the local machine that allows the user to physically view the windows and manipulate the mouse. This "client/server" naming convention seems backwards in that the "server" runs on the local computer (e.g. your Windows laptop), and the "client" is the application running on the CVL (e.g. Matlab). Linux clients generally have this X-server installed by default, but Windows users have to install one if graphical access to the CVL is required.<br />
<br />
==Connecting with Windows==<br />
<br />
*In order to access the CVL from a Windows system, you must have a SSH client and a X-windows server installed on your Windows machine. We recommend using '''[[MobaXterm]]''', an all-in-one program that lets you SSH with X11-Fowarding enabled, and lets you copy files to and from your Windows machine to the remote server. <br />
<br />
*Click the link below to see How to Install and use MobaXterm to connect to CVL<br />

<br />
==Troubleshooting==<br />
<br />
===PLEASE READ===<br />
If you are have any trouble at all, please uninstall both the drivers (see above) and the PCLab software, go to the website and download the latest driver and PCLab version and follow the installation instructions. If you continue to have issues, see below.<br />
<br />
===Surface Pro 3===<br />
There is some indication that the single USB port on the Surface Pro 3 does not interact properly with the scope, causing the PcLab2000 software to hang after running a single function. Using a USB hub (powered or unpowered) seems to resolve this issue. <br />
<br />
===Program is running, cannot see window===<br />
This happens if you plug your laptop onto a second monitor, have the PcLab2000 program open on the external monitor, and then unplug the monitor. The PcLab program window can get stuck on the now non-existent monitor space. <br />
<br />
To bring it back into view, do this: <br />
<br />
# First make sure you’ve alt-tabbed to the window, or clicked on it once to bring it into focus. <br />
# Then right-click on the taskbar and choose Move<br />
# At this point, you should notice that your cursor changes to the “Move” cursor, but you still can’t move anything.<br />
# Just hit any one of the arrow keys (Left, Right, Down, Up), move your mouse, and the window should magically “pop” back onto the screen.<br />
<br />
You can also do this via keyboard shortcuts: <br />
# Alt-tab to the PcLab program window<br />
# Hit Alt+Space<br />
# Hit M<br />
# Hold down an Arrow key, and then move your mouse, the window should pop back in place. <br />
<br />
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/bring-misplaced-off-screen-windows-back-to-your-desktop-keyboard-trick/<br />
<br />
===Other pcsgu250 software may be active===<br />
If you get an error starting with "Other pcsgu250 software may be active..." and the PcLab2000LT program is hanging, do the following:<br />
<br />
*Open Windows Task Manager (CTRL-SHIFT-ESC) and kill the hung PcLab2000LT process<br />
<br />
*Open Windows Explorer (Computer) <br />
*In the toolbar select '''Organize''' -> '''Folder and search options'''<br />
*In the '''View''' tab, select "Show hidden files, folders and drives", click '''OK'''<br />
*Locate the folder: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Velleman\<br />
*Delete the entire Velleman folder<br />
<br />
The PcLab2000LT program should now be functioning. <br />
<br />
===Matlab Plugin Issues===<br />
<br />
* ECE students that will be using the Velleman scope integration will require 32-bit MATLAB installations (due to the library provided by the vendor is 32-bit only). The documentation in the support package does call out this requirement.<br />
* 64-bit OS users can have both a Win 32-bit install and a win 64-bit install at the same time (as well as for different versions e.g. R2011a and R2011b). There may not be a reason too, but it is possible. Each of these installations go into a different installation folder, and the applications can be run at the same time if desired.<br />
* Matlab will give an error if the path to the plugin contains the @ symbol. Try and keep your folder names simple and don't use special characters. <br />
<br />
===Bode Plot Hangs===<br />
* Drivers from Velleman have been updated, this might not be an issue anymore. <br />
<br />
When running on a 64-bit machine, you must install the PCSGU250Driver_WinUSB driver, not the PCSGU250Driver. If you have accidentally installed the PCSGU250Driver, follow the directions for uninstalling and installing drivers</div>Rbrand7https://computing.ece.vt.edu/wiki/Main_PageMain Page2017-09-29T15:23:11Z<p>Rbrand7: /* Virginia Tech Sites */</p>

<hr />
<div>=ECE Posters=<br />
ECE has a wide format document printer for use within the ECE deparment.<br />
*If you are not related to ECE, you can print a poster using the Library system: https://www.lib.vt.edu/photocopy/how/poster-plotter.html<br />
<br />
The printer is an Epson Stylus Pro 9800 Professional Edition, a 44" wide photo-ready printer.<br />
<br />
We can print:<br />
<br />
* '''Posters, CAD drawings, Banners, Photographs And More!'''<br />
<br />
== Formatting ==<br />
*We have 2 paper sizes: '''36"''' and '''44"'''<br />
*The standard poster size is '''36x48"''', but we can print anything up to '''44"'''<br />
*The only paper type is '''Photo Glossy'''. <br />
*We ask that all posters be sent to us as a '''PDF''' file, which will help ensure print quality and compatibility between your system and the Print Server. <br />
*Posters take about '''20''' minutes to physically print, depending on page size. (36x24: 10min, 36x48: 20 min)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Before you convert/print/send your document:''' <br />
<br />
:'''Note:''' High resolution images will appear more detailed and fine-lined whereas low resolution images will distort if enlarged. For example, if you enlarge an image with low resolution your picture will appear blurred or pixelated. <br />
::1. Verify that your document appears correct and has the correct page size before you send in the document. <br />
::2. View your PDF Poster at '''Actual Size''' zoom level to find out the image's resolution. <br />
:::*Remember to check the resolution of your digital image. Why? When you download an image from the internet the image's resolution may appear detailed, however, when you print the image it appears distorted. <br />
:::*Why? Image resolution. Most images downloaded from the internet commonly have low resolution or small pixel dimensions. The smaller resolution images are easier and faster to download from a website than larger resolution images. <br />
::3. Please leave some whitespace trim to poster to prevent cutting off at the margins.<br />
<br />
*'''Here is an excellent article on Image Resolution and Printing:''' http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/image-quality/<br />

<div>The Space Compute Cluster is comprised of 1 head node server (spacecc-head) and 3 Dell Blade Enclosures, each with 16 Blade servers for a total of 48 blade machines. Each node has two 6-core Xeon E5645@2.40GHz CPU’s with hyperthreading for a total of 24 cores, and 36GB ram. <br />
<br />
The head node is a standalone dell server that acts as the router, firewall and cluster install and management server. It also acts as an SSH proxy, where any ssh connections made to port 22 on spacecc.ece.vt.edu are forwarded on to the internal cluster nodes in sequential round-robin order. The head node is not accessible by ECE users.<br />
<br />
Spacecc nodes require an ECE account to access. If you do not have an ECE account, you can create one at https://computing.ece.vt.edu and click on “Manage ECE Accounts”. <br />
<br />
Using your ECE account, use the following command to ssh to spacecc.ece.vt.edu, where you will land on one of the cluster nodes at “random”. <br />
<br />
$ ssh -X <ECEUSER>@spacecc.ece.vt.edu<br />
<br />
Once logged into a node machine, you can ssh into any of the other cluster nodes via the ip address or hostnames below<br />
<br />
$ ssh 10.0.1.17<br />
or<br />
$ ssh blade-02-01<br />
<br />
(hostname, internal IP)<br />
Enclosure 1: blade-01-[01-16], 10.0.1.[1-16]<br />
Enclosure 2: blade-02-[01-16], 10.0.1.[17-32]<br />
Enclosure 3: blade-03-[01-16], 10.0.1.[33-48]<br />
<br />
All spacecc nodes are using the ECE central authentication and file server, so the user home directory is network mounted and goes with you to each machine. They are also mounting the ECE software share, /software, which includes all ECE packages like matlab, cadence, STK, etc. <br />
<br />
OS and Linux machines come built-in with ssh in the Terminal, Windows machines should use MobaXerm<br />

Each node..."</p>
<hr />
<div>The Space Compute Cluster is comprised of 1 head node server (spacecc-head) and 3 Dell Blade Enclosures, each with 16 Blade servers for a total of 48 blade machines. Each node has two 6-core Xeon E5645@2.40GHz CPU’s with hyperthreading for a total of 24 cores, and 36GB ram. <br />
<br />
The head node is a standalone dell server that acts as the router, firewall and cluster install and management server. It also acts as an SSH proxy, where any ssh connections made to port 22 on spacecc.ece.vt.edu are forwarded on to the internal cluster nodes in sequential round-robin order. The head node is not accessible by ECE users, admins can access the head node on port 8022. <br />
<br />
Spacecc nodes require an ECE account to access. If you do not have an ECE account, you can create one at https://computing.ece.vt.edu and click on “Manage ECE Accounts”. <br />
<br />
Using your ECE account, use the following command to ssh to spacecc.ece.vt.edu, where you will land on one of the cluster nodes at “random”. <br />
<br />
$ ssh -X <ECEUSER>@spacecc.ece.vt.edu<br />
<br />
Once logged into a node machine, you can ssh into any of the other cluster nodes via the ip address or hostnames below<br />
<br />
$ ssh 10.0.1.17<br />
or<br />
$ ssh blade-02-01<br />
<br />
(hostname, internal IP)<br />
Enclosure 1: blade-01-[01-16], 10.0.1.[1-16]<br />
Enclosure 2: blade-02-[01-16], 10.0.1.[17-32]<br />
Enclosure 3: blade-03-[01-16], 10.0.1.[33-48]<br />
<br />
All spacecc nodes are using the ECE central authentication and file server, so the user home directory is network mounted and goes with you to each machine. They are also mounting the ECE software share, /software, which includes all ECE packages like matlab, cadence, STK, etc. <br />

OS and Linux machines come built-in with ssh in the Terminal, Windows machines should use MobaXerm<br />
