Storage on Aurora
Storage in the Aurora cluster is organized as detailed by Lunarc. Read the following: http://lunarc-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_reference/#file-systems
In particular, the HEP nodes dedicated storage is accessible on hep nodes au[193-216] at this path:
/projects/hep/nobackup/
The organization of data in the above folder is as follows, and users are encouraged to enforce it:
| Folder name | Folder purpose | expected filesize | Description | Subfolders |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| software | Application software | files smaller than 100MB each | This folder hosts software that is not accessible via cvmfs (see later). This usually includes user/project specific libraries and frameworks. | /np for Nuclear Physics users |
/pp for Particle Physics users |
||||
/tp for Theoretical Physics users |
||||
| shared | Data that will stay for long term | Any file, especially big ones | This folder should be used for long-term stored data. For example, data needed for the whole duration of a phd project or shared among people belonging to the same research group. | /np for Nuclear Physics users |
/pp for Particle Physics users |
||||
/tp for Theoretical Physics users |
||||
| scratch | Data that will stay for short term | Any file, especially big ones | This folder should be used for short-term stored data. For example, data needed for a week long calculation or temporary calculation. This folder should be considered unreliable as its contents will be purged from time to time. The cleanup interval is yet to be decided | /np for Nuclear Physics users |
/pp for Particle Physics users |
||||
/tp for Theoretical Physics users |
||||
| users | Copy of Iridium User homes | files smaller than 100MB each | This folder contains a copy of each user's private home folder on Iridium. DO NOT use this on Aurora. This folder will be used as a backup until we plan some other Iridium backup. | /<username> each user her own folder |
/npguests/<username> for Nuclear Physics guests |
||||
/ppguests/<username> for Particle Physics guests |
Other special folders:
/cvmfs | Special folder containing CERN maintained software | user cannot write | This special folder is dedicated to software provided by CERN. This folder is read-only. Usually the content of this folder are managed via specific scripts that a user can run. If you need to add some software that you cannot find, contact the administrators. | /geant4.cern.ch for Nuclear Physics users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
/atlas.cern.ch for Particle Physics users |
The Iridium storage is still accessible at
/projects/hep/iridium/
Please refer to the documentation at basic_information for it.
