Storage on the Cluster
Where is data stored
The recommended place to store all important data is on the DCSR NAS which fulfils the UNIL requirement to have multiple copies. For more information please see the user guide
This storage is accessible from within the UNIL network using the SMB/CIFS protocol.
The UNIL HPC clusters also have dedicated storage that is shared amongst the compute nodes but this is not, in general, accessible outside of the clusters except via file transfer protocols (scp)
Cluster filesystems
The cluster storage is based on the IBM Spectrum Scale (GFPS) parallel filesystem.
The role of each filesystem as well as details of the data retention policy is given below.
