devcloud-vscode remote ssh not working for FPGA cluster

[Alexey_M]

Hello!

I use the approach described in this message to connect to devcloud using vscode

I open two cygwin terminals. In the first I connect to the head node, then I assign the job using qsub

ssh devcloud.proxy
qsub -I

Then in second terminal i execute 

ssh <node_number>.aidevcloud

And after that I can connect via vscode using the devcloud-vscode ssh target

But I want to use the fpga queue for which on the head node I set the value of the variable PBS_DEFAULT=v-qsvr-fpga.

So I have the first terminal in which I execute the following:

ssh devcloud.proxy
export PBS_DEFAULT=v-qsvr-fpga
qsub -I

Now my job is in the fpga cluster queue

qsub: job 36992.v-qsvr-fpga.aidevcloud ready

 I open the second terminal and as before run

ssh <node_number>.aidevcloud

And after all this, I can no longer connect through vscode using devcloud-vscode remote ssh target.

So I just changed the value of the PBS_DEFAULT variable to use the FPGA queue but now it doesn't work anymore. Is it possible to work with vscode only in the standard queue? Or is there a way to change them to fpga and nda queues and work through vscode?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel communities.

Could you please let us know which DevCloud you are using? Is it DevCloud for OneAPI/Edge/FPGA?

Thanks,

Aayushi

It is DevCloud for OneAPI

Hi,

If you are using .proxy to connect, please modify the config file.

You could find config file in the below path:

C:\cygwin64\home\<username>\.ssh\config

You need to add .proxy under SSH Tunnel config.

Please refer the attached screenshot.

If you face any further issue, please let us know.

Thanks,

Hi.

My config file is configured in a similar way to work through a proxy. When I use the standard pbs queue( v-qsvr-1), everything works for me.

But when I try to use the fpga queue, by exporting the PBS_DEFAULT=v-qsvr-fpga environment variable, I can't use the ssh target devcloud-vscode. That is, I can connect to the headnode, I can submitan interactive job, connect to the compute node (I do all this to create a tunnel). So I have two active terminals, one connected to the head node and the other connected to the compute node.

But at the same time I can't connect to compute node using ssh extension for vscode

Hi,

We tried connecting to the fpga queue, by exporting the PBS_DEFAULT=v-qsvr-fpga environment variable and it is working fine from our side.

Refer below screenshot

Can you also confirm if the Remote SSH extension is configured to use Cygwin's config file as shown in the below screenshot.

We will contact you privately to collect your ssh config file, kindly respond to that privately.

Thanks,

Aayushi

Hello.

Today I tried all the steps again and the problem disappeared. This is strange, because I did nothing to solve the problem, it disappeared by itself
