Hi there,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to have SSH access to multiple login nodes on the same cluster? We have three login nodes, one with GPU, and we’d like to provide users with the option to choose which login nodes they SSH into. Having multiple cluster files with the same cluster, but a different SSH host works, but there are unintended consequences, like jobs showing up multiple times for each “cluster”.

Thanks,  
Cristian

With the multiple cluster files with the same cluster, what happens if in the duplicate cluster configs you remove the “job:” section?

That seems to have done the trick, thanks for the tip!
