To all HPC users,

We wanted to remind all users that the change to redundant login nodes may cause some one-time issues for returning users to the chip HPC.

Due to the additional login nodes – the first time someone logs into chip.rs.umbc.edu, your computer may notice a new IP and ask for users to accept a new SSH key (or otherwise approve that the new SSH key is acceptable).

We understand that users are using a variety of software or terminal-like applications to access chip, so please reach out via RT (link below) if you experience issues logging in to the chip cluster.

As always, let us know if you notice any issues or otherwise have questions or concerns by submitting a descriptive help request form found at the following link.
