Work in Progress: active data transfer/staging is still happening in the background. Hence, not all of your datasets will have read/write access at this point in time. |

Getting started
When making the move over to eRI, there is some information you can provide or have thought about to help smooth the process.
New AgResearch staff (or those who have not used the existing, legacy HPC) planning to utilise the compute resources, will need a username created and home directory (/home/agresearch.co.nz/username)provisioned.
Do this by emailing NeSI’s support desk at support@cloud.nesi.org.nz.
or via the eRI Support Portal
Do you have legacy data that needs to move (be cutover)? this could take some time and requires activation by AgResearch.
Background: Most data has been transferred from the legacy HPC to the new eRI HPC already. Any data that has not been migrated will not readable/writeable until it has been cut over. This ensures both data sets remain in sync.
Please make a request to support@cloud.nesi.org.nz
Do you need a new dataset and /project (with compute allocation) created or will you be accessing another workspace?
If you are unsure what the difference between a dataset and a project is, check out the frequently asked questions page for more information.
What software/version might you need?
If you are unsure what software is available, check out xxx.
How do I know if there is already data or a project?
New AgResearch staff planning to utilise the compute resources, need a home folder provisioned. Please request a home folder with us.
Do this by emailing NeSI’s support desk at support@cloud.nesi.org.nz.

This will give you access to a project directory, a scratch directory (for high-performance working storage within the HPC environment), and a share of access to HPC (i.e. compute/analysis) resources
...
There might be data already stored in your project directory, but if you need to transfer data over to your project, you will need to email NeSI’s support desk. You can create a ticket with the support desk for each data set separately, or list all data sets that you want to have cut-over in one go.

What software/version might you need?
If you are unsure what software is available, please ask and we can help build and/or make it available.
Finally, NeSI also offers regular online office hour sessions, hosted via Zoom. These sessions are open to anyone - you don't need to be an existing NeSI user. Information on when the next office hour will be hosted is here.

Logging in
OPTIONAL: If working from outside the AgResearch local network, connect to AgR VPN
(or Inscrutable or Iramohio first: e.g. connect via a Terminal application:ssh inscrutable.agresearch.co.nz)
See also Connecting to the eRI compute cluster from Windows
Once logged on, continue toConnect to an eRI login node:
ssh username@agresearch.co.nz@login-0.eri.agresearch.co.nz
(orlogin-1) enter your password if promptedList the contents of your sandbox project folder:
ls -la /agr/persist/projects/XXXX-abc_defghijklmList the contents of your scratch folder:
ls -la /agr/scratch/projects/XXXX-abc_defghijklmChange into the scratch location:
cd /agr/scratch/projects/XXXX-abc_defghijklmMore technical details are given here on how to connect to the AgResearch HPC from your computer.
