Important notes:
- The local home directory on fastx3 is for local/temporary files only. Data should be stored on AFS, GPFS, NFS, or other networked filesystems. Email unix-admin@slac.stanford.edu if you need assistance or have storage questions.
- Do not attempt to do heavy computing on the NoMachine servers. The NoMachine servers are intended to be gateways into other SLAC resources. After connecting to the NoMachine gateway, then ssh to other SLAC machines to perform actual compute intensive work.
- The NoMachine servers are rebooted monthly. This is to allow for a server maintenance window and to allow for updated kernel RPMs to be activated which fix security vulnerabilities.
Installation and Usage instructions:
- Download and install the NoMachine Enterprise client application (or find it in the "Self Service" Jamf application on centrally managed Macs)
- Click "Add" to add a new connection
- next to "Name", enter a name for this connection, such as nx.slac.stanford.edu
- next to "Host", enter the hostname: nx.slac.stanford.edu
- click on the "Protocol" drop-down menu, and choose "SSH"
- click "Connect"
