Follow the following procedures to setup an account for FAU clusters
Try and login to the FAU HPC portal with your university name (Use “Another institution” button)
In case there are missing attributes, you will need to contact your local IT support responsible for eduGAIN (see eduGAIN organizations).
In case you can not find your university, please let us know ASAP so we can handle this.
We will collect one email address (university email that can be login to eduGAIN) per team to create the account, you will receive the invitation. That email address must be able to login via eduGAIN.
2. After you got assigned to the ISC SCC project, you need to add a SSH key to be able to access the clusters. To do so, login to the portal and click on the User tab in the top area.
You will need to upload your 4K public ssh key to the portal. You can upload multiple keys per team/user.
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 ... $ cat .ssh/id_rsa_4k.pub
3. Once we will supply the access, you will need to login to the server with your given username.
Setup your ssh config file to make it easier:
$ cat .ssh/config
Host fau
HostName hpc-mover.rrze.uni-erlangen.de
Port 22322
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_4k
User <user id>
3. Login to fau clusters
$ ssh fau .....
4. Login to the cluster

5. You can allocate nodes by using Slurm. For a 4 node interactive job, e.g., you can use this command:
b154dc10@fritz4:~$ salloc -N 4 --time=02:00:00
salloc: Granted job allocation 282366
salloc: Waiting for resource configuration
salloc: Nodes f[0216,0238,0274-0275] are ready for job
