hi all,

after some delay we finally have access to our new data storage area
at iVEC (see below). It should be possible for all sites to resume
transfers immediately to the new machine: galaxy-data.pawsey.ivec.org

Note the changed host name above - this is not the usual login node
for galaxy. It is solely for data transfers.

Please put data in the following area, using the same naming
convention we used on cortex:

galaxy-data.pawsey.ivec.org:/scratch/director831/transfers/2014/

Remember to set your umask to 002 in your .bashrc.

Please test if this works for you ASAP in case there are residual
firewall issues.

Note that the new storage area does not have the redundant backups we
had on cortex, though the data should still be more secure than on a
Mark5 diskpack or xraid. However, for safety we would encourage sites
to hold a copy of the data until correlation has completed wherever
possible. You can monitor whether experiments have been released on
the correlator wiki pages:

regards,
Cormac

Hi Cormac,

We believe that globus-gridftp-server is now configured on both galaxy
data mover nodes for
sshftp: urls. The hostnames are galaxy-data1.pawsey.ivec.org /
galaxy-data2.pawsey.ivec.org
(which are part of the DNS round-robin address of galaxy-data.pawsey.ivec.org).

We've had to downgrade the server part to globus 5.0.5 for this --
version 5.2.4 doesn't work
with sshftp at all. Sorry for the delay while we were debugging this!
- the globus-url-copy
from 5.2.4 (default) works fine with it.

I've tested transfers to / from galaxy-data from another couple of
hosts, but can you check it
works as part of your workflow?

FYI, we've also installed it on Magnus in a similar manner on
magnus-data (consisting of
magnus-data1, magnus-data2) if you need to copy data to/from that system too.


Andrew
