Noctua

Login-Frontend: fe.noctua.pc2.uni-paderborn.de

• fe.noctua is a "jump host".
  • A "jump host" is a load balancer which establishes a connection to one of the two physical frontends of Noctua.

• This means you have to do another ssh. We recommend the following procedure:

  ssh -X -t -A fe.noctua.pc2.uni-paderborn.de ssh -X noctua

• If you want to connect to the last connected frontend, then use this command:

  ssh -X -t -A fe.noctua.pc2.uni-paderborn.de ssh -X noctua-last
