It is possible to access your storage space on [http://sds-hd.urz.uni-heidelberg.de SDS@hd] directly on the bwforCluster MLS&WISO.
You can access your SDS@hd directory with a valid Kerberos ticket on all compute nodes '''except standard nodes'''. Kerberos tickets are obtained and prolongated on the data mover nodes data1 and data2. Before a Kerberos ticket expires, notification is sent by e-mail.

== Direct access in compute jobs ==

* Login in to a datamover, i.e. ssh data1 (passwordless)
* Fetch a Kerberos ticket with command: kinit (use your SDS@hd service password)

* submit your job from the login node

* Find your SDS@hd directory in /mnt/sds-hd/
* Copy data between your SDS@hd directory and your workspaces
* Logout from data1 for further work on the cluster

Access to SDS@hd

It is possible to access your storage space on SDS@hd directly on the bwforCluster MLS&WISO. You can access your SDS@hd directory with a valid Kerberos ticket on all compute nodes except standard nodes. Kerberos tickets are obtained and prolongated on the data mover nodes data1 and data2. Before a Kerberos ticket expires, notification is sent by e-mail.

Direct access in compute jobs

  • Login in to a datamover, i.e. ssh data1 (passwordless)
  • Fetch a Kerberos ticket with command: kinit (use your SDS@hd service password)
  • Prepare your jobscript to use the directory /mnt/sds-hd/<your-sv-acronym>
  • submit your job from the login node

Copying data on data mover node

Certain workflows or I/O patterns may require the transfer of data from SDS@hd to a workspace on the cluster before submitting jobs. Data transfers are possible on the data mover nodes data1 and data2:

  • Login to a data mover node with command: ssh data1 (passwordless)
  • Fetch a Kerberos ticket with command: kinit (use your SDS@hd service password)
  • Find your SDS@hd directory in /mnt/sds-hd/
  • Copy data between your SDS@hd directory and your workspaces
  • Logout from data1 for further work on the cluster
