Note: Files might be offline. If you want to access these files you can simply read them (and wait until they become online in background automatically) or you can execute an explicit stage command beforehand. If you want to read/copy more than one file staging is strongly recommended.

File Storage (POSIX, smb, nfs)

Read only Access

The Windows Way (smb/cifs)

Connect to \\hssrv2.dmawi.de\ within windows explorer (use the right mouse button and add a network device). You can either search for shared directories or directly connect with e.g., \\hssrv2.dmawi.de\projects\<project>.

The Linux Way (nfs)

The HSM file systems are shared and mounted automatically on most Linux clients (but not on laptops). A simple ls /hs/projects/ should do. If you should miss a directory please contact hsm-support@awi.de

Read/Write Access

The HSM system ist shared/mounted read only. To write data into the tape archive use one of the following options:

...

Note: If you have to archive many (>100 000) small (<100 MB) files this will stress the system more than necessary. Please zip or tar[.gz] your directories and upload these compressed files.

Object Storage (S3)

• ScoutAM provides a S3-gateway to access data. 
• Currently this in the testing phase.
• We consider/plan to provide S3 storage via eResources in he future (Speculation: Q4/2024)
• Only TLS connections are possible. Please use this certificate:  HSM_S3gw.cert.pem
