Proxy (for web downloads)
To download data from external sites, please do so from a batch job or use an interactive session by running qrsh -l short. Batch jobs and interactive sessions run on backend compute nodes, where external access to the outside world is available.
You DO NOT need to load the proxy modulefiles (it will do nothing if you do.) Please see the qrsh notes for more information on interactive use.
Overview
June 2023: The proxy is no longer available. Instead, the compute nodes can now access the outside world directly. But the login nodes DO NOT have direct outbound access. To access the outside world, please use either an interactive session on a compute node or submit a batch job to run your downloader commands.
The proxy modulefiles used previously will now make no settings. So it is harmless to leave the module load tools/env/proxy command in your existing jobscripts.
Updates
June 2023: Proxy modulefiles now make NO settings.
