Gateway Nodes

For off-campus access to SCU resources, you need to connect via our gateway nodes.

Available Gateway nodes

Address	Filesystems
pascal.med.cornell.edu	/athena

aphrodite.med.cornell.edu	/athena

Please ensure you connect to a node that provides the filesystem containing your data.

Connecting to a Gateway Node

Using your SCU account data, you can connect to any of these nodes via a terminal application:

ssh <your-scu-username>@aristotle.med.cornell.edu

Remember that your SCU account is separate from your institutional (CWID) account, with separate login information.

Connecting to other nodes

Once you have connected to the internal network, you can continue to other nodes. For example, here is how you would connect to the aphrodite login node, and then connect to the curie.pbtech HPC submit node:

local:~ scudemo$ ssh scudemo@aphrodite.med.cornell.edu
Last login: Wed Aug  8 10:41:59 2018 from 140.251.36.62
[scudemo@aphrodite ~]$ ssh curie.pbtech
Last login: Wed Aug  8 10:42:13 2018 from aphrodite.pbtech
[..]
[scudemo@curie ~]$

Permitted usage of the gateway nodes

You are permitted to use the gateway nodes for everyday interactive use such as editing files, writing programs, as a point of entry to other systems, etc. However, since these nodes are used by many people, we want to keep them responsive and therefore don't allow any processor or I/O intensive work to be done on them for sustained periods; consider using the Interactive Servers for this type of work.

We reserve the right to terminate all resource intensive tasks on the gateway servers without warning. We will not be responsible for any lost work. If in doubt, contact us at scu@med.cornell.edu to discuss any planned tasks.
