Guide for remote shifters
A complete Remote Shifter manual is in preparation.
As a pre-requisite, remote shifts require the shifter to access the INFN-LNF network via a VPN.
To get remote access to all machines and/or web pages of the PADME experiment, you need an account at the LNF Computing Center. If you do not have one, you can request it using the form at this link:
http://www.lnf.infn.it/Calcolo/cgi-bin/newaccountrequest.pl
Besides your personal data, you can fill the form with the following information:
- LNF Office Building: 09 – Daphne building
- Room: BTF-CR
- Phone number: 2417
- Position: Ospite (please check with Paola Gianotti your current position)
- Expiration Time: 12 months (please check with Paola Gianotti your current position)
- Reason for account request (intended work): Shifts at PADME experiment
- Account platform type: Unix
- Who is your supervisor (specify none if not applicable): none
- Group: padme [Paola.Gianotti@lnf.infn.it]
- Do you have an account on LNF Computing Service Machines? No
- How do you want to be notified about this request? By E-Mail to your Account Responsible
Please note that the procedure to obtain the account can take a few working days: make sure to send the form well in advance of your shift. When the account is active, Paola Gianotti, the Account Responsible for PADME, will receive an e-mail and will notify you.
Once you have obtained your account, you need to connect to the INFN LNF network using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Detailed instructions on how to install and configure the VPN client on your node can be found at this link:
http://www.lnf.infn.it/computing/networking/ → Networking → Network LNF → VPN
If your account is active, you should be able to download the OpenVPN configuration for “lnfusers”: this will give you direct access to all nodes and services of the PADME experiment.
