Logging Into the Google/IBM Academic Cluster

First Time Procedure

  • Go to http://univsupport.hipods.ihost.com and select "Sign Me Up".
  • Enter the token that I sent you via email.
  • Follow the instructions to create a new account. Note that the password that you create for your account is only used for this web page, not for the cluster.
  • Connect to the gateway machine with ssh YOURNAME@64.88.164.202 and login with the temporary password sent to you via email. The system will ask you to immediately change your password.
  • From the gateway machine, connect to the cluster with ssh YOURNAME@10.1.130.198. Again, use the temporary password sent to you via email. Again, the system will ask you to immediately change your password.

    • Logging in Again Thereafter

  • ssh yourname@64.88.164.202
  • ssh yourname@10.1.130.198

    • Setting Up Hadoop

    Note that the Google/IBM Hadoop setup is a little different than ours. Within HDFS, the Gutenberg data can be found under /user/public and your private directory should be /user/YOURNAME. 
    tcsh
setenv PATH /hadoop/hadoop-0.16.4/bin:$PATH
hadoop fs -ls /
hadoop fs -ls /user/public
hadoop fs -mkdir /user/YOURNAME
