The basic cluster you are building is comprised of:
- A set of of compute nodes
- A login node
To access your cluster, you need an "entry point" - a node to log in to. This entry point is provided by a node called the login node. The login node's processing components are not involved in any of the high performance computational work that your cluster provides. The computational work is provided by the set of compute nodes. You use your login node not only as an entry point to your cluster, but also for submitting jobs to your compute nodes.
Run the following commands. These contain information that will be used by subsequent commands.
