Connecting to the Cluster

Connecting to the SeaWulf Cluster

Note: All connections require a SeaWulf account. To request an account, submit a ticket via the IACS Ticketing System. NVwulf access is separate; see the NVwulf page for instructions.

Login Nodes

SeaWulf has multiple login nodes that act as entry points to the cluster:

Note: A new NVwulf cluster is available. See the NVwulf page for access instructions.

Access and Operating Systems

The login and milan login nodes run different operating systems and provide access to distinct sets of compute nodes. Make sure you connect to the appropriate login node for your project and intended resources.

Remote Access Tools

You can connect to the login nodes using:

  • Mac and Linux: Use the terminal and run ssh <NetID>@login.seawulf.stonybrook.edu or ssh <NetID>@milan.seawulf.stonybrook.edu.
  • Windows: Use MobaXterm (recommended) or PuTTY. Windows Terminal with WSL installed can also run native ssh commands.
  • Open OnDemand: Access via a web browser at https://ood.seawulf.stonybrook.edu/.
