SGPUW1 and SGPUW2 are only accessible via SecretLab VPN. Download SecretLab VPN profile from Nextcloud, install OpenVPN client software on your device, install the SecretLab VPN profile on your client device, and then connect to SecretLab VPN before attempting to access these GPU servers.
Open up your terminal, then ssh into the GPU. Example: `$ ssh <username>@172.30.200.1.`
This would request your already assigned password. You can either type in or copy-paste in the password.
Then you can do `$ nvidia-smi` to see the number of GPUs and available GPUs.
to activate a GPU.
The command is `$ genv activate --gpus <number of GPU>`.
If you ls when you log in through the terminal, you will encounter something funny because you will have zero or no directories.
to resolve this, you have to log into the VM (Microsoft remote Desktop) of the lab. then, you open remote desktop connection.
This should ask for the computer, you would input the IP address (172.30.200.1) and then click connect.
This should lead you to where you input your username and password. You should input your assigned username and password here and click `'OK'`
Logging in through this should create your directories automatically for you. You can check this by opening up the terminal in the remote desktop connection and typing in ls to see your directory. then you can log out and close the remote desktop.
