What is not needed anymore can be deleted with the Windows Explorer or | |||||||||||||||||||||
Option 2: /netscratch (Temporary data) | |||||||||||||||||||||
Features: 50 TB space available for up to 90 days at
Documentation: FileSharingvianetscratch | |||||||||||||||||||||
Option 3: Tape Archive (HSM, cold data) | |||||||||||||||||||||
Features: Cheap (nearly) unlimited space available, two data copies in building D and E for security reasons.
Note 1: In case of a disaster (e.g., building E burns down) it might take some weeks/months to recover all data. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Option 4: Isilon (online data) | |||||||||||||||||||||
Features: Fast central network storage, daily snapshots (kept for six month, protection against user errors), erasure coding (protection against hardware failure), replication partially to Potsdam/Bremerhaven or HSM (protection against facility disaster)
Note 2: The personal data (4a) is replicated to the Isilon at the other location (Bremerhaven/Potsdam). Note 3: The project data (4b) can be replicated to the HSM or not (your choice in https://cloud.awi.de/#/projects), so data can be restored in case of a disaster. Note 4: Data on the Isilon is accessible from (parts of) ollie and could be processed using HPC. |
The exact path to your project data is shown in https://cloud.awi.de/#/projects this table is just for a quick overview to understand the syntax:

Access:
The platform independent usage of the filesystems in Bremerhaven and Potsdam is possible by the protocols
- Network File System (NFS, Linux)
- Server-Message-Block-Protokoll (SMB , Windows & Mac)
- sftp (Linux, Windows, Mac, but tape storage only)
Linux
The NFS filesystems are provided by an automounter and mounted as soon as they are required. The user just has to know the filesystems (e.g., /isibhv/projects/), which he wants to access.
