Getting An Account

In order to use the cluster you not only need to have a regular CIM account, but you must also be a member of the beowulf (gid=8800) group. Contact the system administrator to be added to this group if you currently are not a member. 12 hrs after you have been added to the group, you will be able to use the cluster.

Note

You can find out which groups you belong to by typing id at the command prompt.
