TSI

The UNICORE Target System Interface (TSI) is used by the UNICORE/X server to perform tasks on the target resource, such as submitting and monitoring jobs, handling data, managing directories etc. It is a daemon running on the frontend(s) of the target resource (e.g. a cluster login node) which provides a remote interface to the operating system, the batch system and the file system of the target resource.

The TSI must be started by root on the cluster login node(s), and will run with elevated privileges. It requires an open port (default: 4433) where it receives connections from the UNICORE/X server(s). The TSI will make outgoing connections (callbacks) to the UNICORE/X server(s). Please set up your firewall(s) accordingly. Operation through an SSH tunnel is possible as well, see the TSI Manual for details.
