1. Getting an account

Anyone with a valid UCINetID can have an account.

There is no cost for a user to obtain an account on HPC3 cluster.

1. Please send email (from your UCINetID email) to hpc-support@uci.edu and provide:

   • Your name

   • Your UCINetID

   • Optionally,

     If you are affiliated with a PI lab and want to use PI lab resources you need to check with your PI what resources are available to the group (some PIs don’t have all resources) and need to specify what resources you are requesting:

     How to be added to PI group Slurm account

     How to be added to PI group DFS access

     How to be added to PI group CRSP access

     You must cc your email to your PI. We will need a confirmation from your PI to add you to the lab resources access and cc keeps everything on the same ticket for simplicity.

2. The email opens a ticket in our ticketing system. Once your account is created you will be notified by email.

3. After you get a confirmation email about your account being created please review:

   • Acceptable use

   • Logging in

Attention

Your UCInetID is NOT your student ID

Your account is your UCINetID (lower case alpha-numeric)

Your password is your regular password that you use for your UCINetID

We do not store, handle or reset passwords for UCINetIDs.

2. Closing an account

For as long as you have a valid UCInetID and you use your account it remains active. When you separate from UCI your UCInetID will become inactive some time after the separation.

The accounts are closed when:

1. An account has no activity for 1 year.

2. Once your UCInetID loses student status. Most student alumni keep student status for up to 1 year after the graduation.

3. When your UCInetID loses staff/researcher/PI affiliation.
