Using the Mass Storage Environment at OSC
Description
OSC has recently installed an extensive set of storage resources
to replace its current mass storage server. This collection of storage will
allow OSC users to do considerably more data-intensive computing than previous
capabilities would allow. The goal of this course is to show OSC users the capabilities
of the new mass storage environment and how these capabilities could impact
their research.
This workshop will be presented in two half-day parts.
Part 1: Core Storage Services
- Introduction to Storage Area Networks
- IBM SANFS Overview
- Comparison with Previous Mass Storage System (Irix/DMF/NFS)

- Project-Oriented Storage
- Grid Access to OSC Mass Storage
