Log on to the Boot Node

The standard Cray configuration has a gigabit Ethernet connection between the SMW and boot node. All other nodes on the Cray system are accessible from the boot node.
  1. Log on to the SMW as crayadm.
  2. There are two methods to log on to the boot node: ssh to the boot node.
    • Use ssh:
      crayadm@smw>  ssh boot
crayadm@boot>
    • Open an administrator window on the SMW:
      crayadm@smw> xterm -ls -vb -sb -sl 2049 6&

      After the window opens, use it to ssh to the boot node.
