One-time and In-frequent Instructions

Mapping to Munin:

In the “My Computer” window, click the “map drive” icon (or look under the drop down menus for updated versions of Windows).

Select a drive, and type in the server and study name.

Setting up Hugin:

∙  Go to the OIT website and download X-Win (oit.duke.edu à under popular services, “free and discounted software”). It is a networking type program.

∙  Open the configuration under Start à All Programs à X-Win32 à X-Config

∙  Under “new connection” (top right of window), select “Wizard”

∙  Choose a name for your cluster (anything your little heart desires), the type is “ssh”

∙  Host: hugin.biac.duke.edu à next

∙  Enter your cluster name and login à next

∙  Select linux à finish

∙  You might need to close the config and reopen in order to see it

∙  Highlight the connection and hit “launch”

∙  Now, in order to access Hugin, just run X-win and select your profile connection

QINTERACT:

qinteract is also known as the ‘interactive node,’ because it allows you to interact directly with your data on Munin (or whatever server). It also contains the “packages” (FSL, CMTK, FreeSurfer) that BIAC has installed. You can access the GUI’s for these packages by typing in their appropriate commands once in qinteract. List of packages: http://wiki.biac.duke.edu/biac:cluster:packages

Getting on: log onto Hugin, in the command line (username@hugin: ___) type “qinteract” if prompted, type yes, and then enter your cluster password.

Congratulations! You are now on the “interactive node.” Access your study data by typing “cd `findexp Study.01`”

Transferring files from Munin to Hugin

∙  Set-up SSH Secure Shell:

o  Go to the OIT website (oit.duke.edu à under popular services, “free and discounted software”) and download SSH Secure Shell Client.

o  The f-secure SSH file transfer will allow you to upload and download files between Hugin and Munin (such as cluster scripts).

o  Run Start à All Programs à F-Secure SSH File Transfer

o  Select “profiles” in the toolbar (this set-up will be similar to the x-win set-up because you are doing the same thing, connecting to Hugin, but in a different program)

o  “Add Profile” à name it (whatever) à “Profiles” (in the toolbar, again) à “Edit Profiles…” à click the one you just made

§  Host name: hugin.biac.duke.edu

§  User name: yourBIACid

§  Port: 22

∙  Connect to your profile

o  “Profiles” à select your profile name

o  Hit enter or space (it says this in itty bitty writing at the bottom of the window)

o  Enter your cluster password (if prompted)

∙  Getting the scripts

o  IMPORTANT NOTE: Your cluster account on Hugin is personal to you, no one else besides the administrators has access to it. This means, in order to back up and share scripts whoever creates and edits them should save them into //Munin/Shashi/WMC22DS.01/Scripts/ClusterScripts (through the same transferring process listed below)

o  In order to do this, you can use the f-secure SSH file transfer window to transfer files between your cluster account and the server

o 

o  Do this by simply clicking the files and dragging between the appropriate windows.

o  When moving scripts onto your cluster account, you should also edit the email address listed in the script, so you can get a notification when the job is complete.
