First Login

Before you begin

You need:

• a TU Delft NetID with access to the environment
• access to the TU Delft network, either on campus or through eduVPN

Login via SSH

1. Open your terminal and run the following SSH command:

$ ssh <YourNetID>@daic01.hpc.tudelft.nl

2. You will be prompted for your password. On first login, DAIC may also set up parts of your home environment:

The HPC cluster is restricted to authorized users only.

<YourNetID>@daic01.hpc.tudelft.nl's password:
Authorized users only. All activity may be monitored and reported.

Welcome to this HPC cluster.
Since this is the first time you logon, we will help you setup your environment.

Setting /home/<YourNetID>/linuxhome to /tudelft.net/staff-homes-linux/a/<YourNetID>

Verify login worked

Run the following commands:

$ hostname
daic01.hpc.tudelft.nl
$ pwd
/home/<YourNetID>
$ whoami
<YourNetID>

If these commands return the expected values, your login was successful.

Troubleshooting

• If you get Permission denied errors:
  • check you are within the TU Delft network (directly or via eduVPN),
  • check that you are using the correct NetID.
  • If both are correct and login still fails, your account may not be active yet.
• If login still fails, contact support.
