Apex serves as the login node to the rest of machines in jungle. Connect to it
|
|
by accessing `ssflogin.bsc.es`, only from the apex you will be able to see other
|
|
machines.
|
|
|
|
Use `sinfo` to see which nodes are available and `salloc` to request them (see
|
|
the manual for more details). Avoid doing large builds or computations in apex,
|
|
use a different node instead.

|
The home is mounted from a hardware RAID 5 of 4 disks, and is shared across
|
|
other machines.
