**We will be utilizing <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0);">red</span> and
<span style="color: rgb(51,153,102);">green</span> sticky notes today.
If you run into problems or have questions,**
**please place the <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0);">red</span> sticky
note to the back of your computer screen and a helper will assist you.**
If you have not already requested an HCC account under the rcourse998
group, please do so
here: <a href="https://hcc.unl.edu/new-user-request" class="external-link">https://hcc.unl.edu/new-user-request</a>
If you already have an HCC account and need to be added to the
rcourse998 group, please let us know.
If you have not previously set up Duo Authentication, please ask for
assistance.
**Set up Instructions:**
**Windows:**
For Windows will we use two third party
application **PuTTY** and **WinSCP** for demonstration.
PuTTY:
&lt;[putty-0.62-installer.exe](https://hcc-docs.unl.edu/download/attachments/2851288/putty-0.62-installer.exe?version=1&modificationDate=1371067913000&api=v2) or <a href="http://www.putty.org/" class="external-link">http://www.putty.org/</a>&gt;
WinSCP:
&lt;[winscp515setup.exe](https://hcc-docs.unl.edu/download/attachments/2851288/winscp515setup.exe?version=1&modificationDate=1371155133000&api=v2) or <a href="http://winscp.net/eng/download.php" class="external-link">http://winscp.net/eng/download.php</a>&gt;.
**Mac/Linux:**
Mac and Linux users will need to download and install **Cyberduck**.
Detailed information for downloading and setting up Cyberduck can be
found here: [For Mac/Linux Users](2851290.html)
**R core and R Studio:**
We will be writing scripts offline in RStudio and then uploading them to
execute them on the cluster. This lesson assumes you have the R core and
RStudio installed. If you do not you can install them here:
R
core: <a href="https://cloud.r-project.org/" class="external-link">https://cloud.r-project.org/</a>
RStudio: <a href="https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/" class="external-link">https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/</a>
**Required Packages:**
We will also be using the dplyr, ggplot2 and maps package. If you do not
have these installed, please install them now. You can do so using the
following commands inside the RStudio console:
install.packages("dplyr")
install.packages("ggplot2")
install.packages("maps")

the end of the last command.
The final code chunk should read:
# Calculate flight age using birthmonth
age <- data.frame(names(acStart), acStart, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
colnames(age) <- c("TailNum", "acStart")
flights <- left_join(flights, age, by="TailNum")
flights <- mutate(flights, Age = (flights$Year * 12) + flights$Month - flights$acStart)

title: "Facilities of the Holland Computing Center"
---
This document details the equipment resident in the Holland Computing Center (HCC) as of November 2018.
HCC has two primary locations directly interconnected by a pair of 10 Gbps fiber optic links (20 Gbps total). The 1800 sq. ft. HCC machine room at the Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) in Omaha can provide up to 500 kVA in UPS and genset protected power, and 160 ton cooling. A 2200 sq. ft. second machine room in the Schorr Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) can currently provide up to 100 ton cooling with up to 400 kVA of power. One Brocade MLXe router and two Dell Z9264F-ON core switches in each location provide both high WAN bandwidth and Software Defined Networking (SDN) capability. The Schorr machine room connects to campus and Internet2/ESnet at 100 Gbps while the PKI machine room connects at 10 Gbps. HCC uses multiple data transfer nodes as well as a FIONA (flash IO network appliance) to facilitate end-to-end performance for data intensive workflows.
HCC's resources at UNL include two distinct offerings: Sandhills and Red. Sandhills is a linux cluster dedicated to general campus usage with 5,472 compute cores interconnected by low-latency InfiniBand networking. 175 TB of Lustre storage is complemented by 50 TB of NFS storage and 3 TB of local scratch per node.
The largest machine on the Lincoln campus is Red, with 9,536 job slots interconnected by a mixture of 1, 10, and 40 Gbps ethernet. More importantly, Red serves up over 6.6 PB of storage using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Red is integrated with the Open Science Grid (OSG), and serves as a major site for storage and analysis in the international high energy physics project known as CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid).
HCC's resources at PKI (Peter Kiewit Institute) in Omaha include Tusker, Crane, Anvil, Attic, and Common storage. Tusker offers 3,712 cores interconnected with Mellanox QDR InfiniBand along with 523TB of Lustre storage. Each compute node is a Dell R815 server with at least 256 GB RAM and 4 Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) processors. Tusker and Sandhills are currently being retired and will be moved to the Walter Scott Engineering Center located in Lincoln consolidated into one, new Tusker cluster.
Crane debuted at 474 on the Top500 list with an HPL benchmark or 121.8 TeraFLOPS. Intel Xeon chips (8-core, 2.6 GHz) provide the processing with 4 GB RAM available per core and a total of 12,236 cores. The cluster shares 1.5 PetaBytes of Lustre storage and contains HCC's GPU resources. We have since expanded the existing cluster: 96 nodes with new Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 chips and 100GB Intel Omni-Path interconnect were added to Crane. Moreover, Crane has 21 GPU nodes with 57 NVIDIA GPUs in total which enables the most state-of-art research, from drug discovery to deep learning.
Anvil is an OpenStack cloud environment consisting of 1,520 cores and 400TB of CEPH storage all connected by 10 Gbps networking. The Anvil cloud exists to address needs of NU researchers that cannot be served by traditional scheduler-based HPC environments such as GUI applications, Windows based software, test environments, and persistent services. In addition, a project to expand Ceph storage by 1.1 PB is in progress.
Attic and Silo form a near line archive with 1.0 PB of usable storage. Attic is located at PKI in Omaha, while Silo acts as an online backup located in Lincoln. Both Attic and Silo are connected with 10 Gbps network connections.
In addition to the cluster specific Lustre storage, a shared common storage space exists between all HCC resources with 1.9PB capacity.
These resources are detailed further below.

#### I have an account, now what?
Congrats on getting an HCC account! Now you need to connect to a Holland
cluster. To do this, we use an SSH connection. SSH stands for Secure
Shell, and it allows you to securely connect to a remote computer and
operate it just like you would a personal machine.
Depending on your operating system, you may need to install software to
make this connection. Check out on Quick Start Guides for information on
how to install the necessary software for your operating system
- [For Mac/Linux Users]({{< relref "for_maclinux_users" >}})
- [For Windows Users]({{< relref "for_windows_users" >}})
#### How do I change my password?
#### I forgot my password, how can I retrieve it?
Information on how to change or retrieve your password can be found on
the documentation page: [How to change your
password]({{< relref "how_to_change_your_password" >}})
All passwords must be at least 8 characters in length and must contain
at least one capital letter and one numeric digit. Passwords also cannot
contain any dictionary words. If you need help picking a good password,
consider using a (secure!) password generator such as
[this one provided by Random.org](https://www.random.org/passwords)
To preserve the security of your account, we recommend changing the
default password you were given as soon as possible.
#### I just deleted some files and didn't mean to! Can I get them back?
That depends. Where were the files you deleted?
**If the files were in your $HOME directory (/home/group/user/):** It's
possible.
$HOME directories are backed up daily and we can restore your files as
they were at the time of our last backup. Please note that any changes
made to the files between when the backup was made and when you deleted
them will not be preserved. To have these files restored, please contact
HCC Support at
{{< icon name="envelope" >}}[hcc-support@unl.edu] (mailto:hcc-support@unl.edu)
as soon as possible.
**If the files were in your $WORK directory (/work/group/user/):** No.
Unfortunately, the $WORK directories are created as a short term place
to hold job files. This storage was designed to be quickly and easily
accessed by our worker nodes and as such is not conducive to backups.
Any irreplaceable files should be backed up in a secondary location,
such as Attic, the cloud, or on your personal machine. For more
information on how to prevent file loss, check out [Preventing File
Loss]({{< relref "preventing_file_loss" >}}).
#### How do I (re)activate Duo?
**If you have not activated Duo before:**
Please stop by
[our offices](http://hcc.unl.edu/location)
along with a photo ID and we will be happy to activate it for you. If
you are not local to Omaha or Lincoln, contact us at
{{< icon name="envelope" >}}[hcc-support@unl.edu] (mailto:hcc-support@unl.edu)
and we will help you activate Duo remotely.
**If you have activated Duo previously but now have a different phone
number:**
Stop by our offices along with a photo ID and we can help you reactivate
Duo and update your account with your new phone number.
**If you have activated Duo previously and have the same phone number:**
Email us at
{{< icon name="envelope" >}}[hcc-support@unl.edu] (mailto:hcc-support@unl.edu)
from the email address your account is registered under and we will send
you a new link that you can use to activate Duo.
#### How many nodes/memory/time should I request?
**Short answer:** We don’t know.
**Long answer:** The amount of resources required is highly dependent on
the application you are using, the input file sizes and the parameters
you select. Sometimes it can help to speak with someone else who has
used the software before to see if they can give you an idea of what has
worked for them.
But ultimately, it comes down to trial and error; try different
combinations and see what works and what doesn’t. Good practice is to
check the output and utilization of each job you run. This will help you
determine what parameters you will need in the future.
For more information on how to determine how many resources a completed
job used, check out the documentation on [Monitoring Jobs]({{< relref "monitoring_jobs" >}}).
#### I am trying to run a job but nothing happens?
Where are you trying to run the job from? You can check this by typing
the command \`pwd\` into the terminal.
**If you are running from inside your $HOME directory
(/home/group/user/)**:
Move your files to your $WORK directory (/work/group/user) and resubmit
your job.
The worker nodes on our clusters have read-only access to the files in
$HOME directories. This means that when a job is submitted from $HOME,
the scheduler cannot write the output and error files in the directory
and the job is killed. It appears the job does nothing because no output
is produced.
**If you are running from inside your $WORK directory:**
Contact us at
{{< icon name="envelope" >}}[hcc-support@unl.edu] (mailto:hcc-support@unl.edu)
with your login, the name of the cluster you are running on, and the
full path to your submit script and we will be happy to help solve the
issue.
##### I keep getting the error "slurmstepd: error: Exceeded step memory limit at some point." What does this mean and how do I fix it?
This error occurs when the job you are running uses more memory than was
requested in your submit script.
If you specified `--mem` or `--mem-per-cpu` in your submit script, try
increasing this value and resubmitting your job.
If you did not specify `--mem` or `--mem-per-cpu` in your submit script,
chances are the default amount allotted is not sufficient. Add the line
{{< highlight batch >}}
#SBATCH --mem=<memory_amount>
{{< /highlight >}}
to your script with a reasonable amount of memory and try running it again. If you keep
getting this error, continue to increase the requested memory amount and
resubmit the job until it finishes successfully.
For additional details on how to monitor usage on jobs, check out the
documentation on [Monitoring Jobs]({{< relref "monitoring_jobs" >}}).
If you continue to run into issues, please contact us at
{{< icon name="envelope" >}}[hcc-support@unl.edu] (mailto:hcc-support@unl.edu)
for additional assistance.
#### I want to talk to a human about my problem. Can I do that?
Of course! We have an open door policy and invite you to stop by
[either of our offices](http://hcc.unl.edu/location)
anytime Monday through Friday between 9 am and 5 pm. One of the HCC
staff would be happy to help you with whatever problem or question you
have. Alternatively, you can drop one of us a line and we'll arrange a
time to meet: [Contact Us](https://hcc.unl.edu/contact-us).

title = "Formatting and mounting a volume in Linux"
description = "How to format and mount volume as a hard drive in Linux."
+++
{{% notice info %}}
This guide assumes you associated your SSH Key Pair with the instance
when it was created, and that you are connected to the [Anvil VPN]({{< relref "connecting_to_the_anvil_vpn" >}}).
{{% /notice %}}
Once you have [created and attached]({{< relref "creating_and_attaching_a_volume" >}})
your volume, it must be formatted and mounted in your Linux instance to be usable. This
procedure is identical to what would be done when attaching a second
hard drive to a physical machine. In this example, a 10GB volume was
created and attached to the instance. Note that the majority of this
guide is for a newly created volume.
{{% notice note %}}
**If you are attaching an existing volume with data already on it,
skip to [creating a directory and mounting the volume](#mounting-the-volume).**
{{% /notice %}}
#### Formatting the volume
Follow the relevant guide
([Windows]({{< relref "connecting_to_linux_instances_from_windows">}})
| [Mac]({{< relref "connecting_to_linux_instances_from_mac" >}})) for your
operating system to connect to your instance. Formatting and mounting
the volume requires root privileges, so first run the
command `sudo su -` to get a root shell.
{{% panel theme="danger" header="**Running commands as root**" %}}**Extreme care should be taken when running commands as `root.`** It is very easy to permanently delete data or cause irreparable damage to your instance.{{% /panel %}}
{{< figure src="/images/13599376.png" width="700" >}}
Next, you will need to determine what device the volume is presented as
within Linux. Typically this will be `/dev/vdb`, but it is necessary to
verify this to avoid mistakes, especially if you have more than one
volume attached to an instance. The command `fdisk -l` will list the
hard drive devices.
{{< figure src="/images/13599470.png" width="700" >}}
Here there is a completely empty (no partitions) disk device matching
the 10GB size of the volume, so `/dev/vdb` is the correct device.
The `fdisk` utility will first be used to create a single partition.
Run the command `fdisk /dev/vdb` to start the program using the volume
disk device.
{{< figure src="/images/13599477.png" width="700" >}}
Press `n` for new partition and hit enter.
{{< figure src="/images/13599479.png" width="700" >}}
Press `p` for primary partition and hit enter.
{{< figure src="/images/13599482.png" width="700" >}}
Enter `1` for the partition number.
{{< figure src="/images/13599528.png" width="700" >}}
At the next two prompts hit enter to accept the defaults and return to
the main command prompt.
{{< figure src="/images/13599530.png" width="700" >}}
Finally, press `w` followed by return to save the changes and
exit `fdisk`.
{{< figure src="/images/13599533.png" width="700" >}}
Now that a partition has been created, it can be formatted. Here, the
EXT4 filesystem will be used. This is the default filesystem used by
many Linux distributions including CentOS and Ubuntu, and is a good
general choice. An alternate filesystem may be used by running a
different format command. To format the partition using EXT4, run the
command `mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1`. You will see a progress message and then
be returned to the shell prompt.
{{< figure src="/images/13599540.png" width="700" >}}
#### Mounting the volume
{{% notice note %}}
If you are attaching a pre-existing volume, start here.
{{% /notice %}}
Finally, the formatted partition must be mounted as a directory to be
used. By convention this is done under `/mnt`, but you may choose to
mount it elsewhere depending on the usage. Here, a directory
called `myvolume` will be created and the volume mounted there. Run the
following commands to make the directory and mount the volume:
{{< highlight bash >}}
mkdir /mnt/myvolume
mnt /dev/vdb1 /mnt/myvolume
{{< /highlight >}}
{{< figure src="/images/13599546.png" width="700" >}}
Running the command `df -h` should then show the new mounted empty
volume.
{{< figure src="/images/13599549.png" width="700" >}}
The volume can now be used.
