Requesting Merlin Accounts

Requesting Access to Merlin6

In the past, access to the public Merlin6 cluster was regulated via the svc-cluster_merlin6 group, which is no longer in use. Merlin6 has become a private cluster, and to request access, users must now be members of one of the Unix groups authorized to use it, including Gwendolen.

Requests for Merlin6 access must be submitted using the Request Linux Group Membership form, available in the PSI ServiceNow Service Catalog. Access is granted by requesting membership in a Unix group that is permitted to use the cluster.

Example: Requesting access to Merlin6

Mandatory fields

The following fields must be completed:

  • Order Access for user: Defaults to the currently logged-in user. Access may also be requested on behalf of another user.
  • Request membership for group: Select a valid Unix group that has access to Merlin6.
  • Justification: Provide a brief explanation of why access to this group is required.

Once the request is submitted, the corresponding group administrators will review and approve it as soon as possible (typically within a few working hours). After approval, it may take up to 30 minutes for the account to be fully configured and access to become effective.
