Data Server
 Notice : | for requesting a user account, see Common Users Account |
The data server is built for storing all experimental raw data and for analysis. The primary data storage /mnt/data0 (72 TB, RAID 5 array from 6 16 TB disks), should be and only be for raw data storage. Frequent read-write data should be avoided at all costs because it will reduce the disk lifetime. Analysis source code and output should be stored in user's home directory. All necessary analysis codes/programs are provided and maintained by the system admin. Users can also request any programs to be installed or installed in their local.

Common Users Account
tandem (fsuphysics888) is the general user account.
Anyone wish to have a personal account can be contact Ryan mailto:rtang@fsu.edu, and provides following information
- full name
- username (the name for login)
[ admin only ] Create an user account
there is a bash script in /usr/bin/createNewUser.sh. This script will create an account and set disk-quota limit.
User Quota
The default quota for user is 50GB soft limit and 100GB hard limit on their home directory. The quota can be increase on request. User can also use the /mnt/data_1TB. The user quota for raw data saving at /mnt/data0 are unlimited.
- soft limit: user still can use more than 50G in the next 7 days, after that, this 50G is the hard limit.
- hard limit: user can never use more than 100G.
Setup
Globus Personal Connect
| Notice : | Ryan already made an endpoint on the data server called FSU Fox's Lab Data Server Ryan's End Point |
For more detail, please check https://docs.globus.org/how-to/globus-connect-personal-linux/
The program is stored in /opt/globusconnectpersonal/
to Run
~>/opt/globusconnectpersonal/globusconnect &
It will ask you to login, follow the steps and use your FSU credential.
enable access of data0
if you cannot access the data0, edit the file at you home ~/.globusonline/lta/config-path
~/,0,1 /mnt/,1,1
The 1st line is the access of your home directory, not-share, allow read/write.
The 2nd line is the access of the /mnt/ directory, share, allow read/write.
To clear the setting / remove credential
Simply remove the folder ~/.globusonline
Exp Folder format
Please use
YYYY_MM_beam_reaction_PI_extra
- YYYY : year in 4 digits
- MM : month is 4 digits
- beam : e.g. 12C
- reaction : e.g. dp
- PI : name of PI
- extra : some extra comments, can be skipped.
For example, Eli performed 12C(d,n)reaction on April, 2022.

Mount disk remotely
To mount the disk remotely, need the sshfs installed in the local machine. In Debian/Ubuntu
~>sudo apt install sshfs
Create a mount directory in the local machine (say /mnt/dataRemote)
~>sudo mkdir /mnt/dataRemote
Mounting
~>sudo sshfs -o allow_other YYY@pauli-data.physics.fsu.edu:XXX /mnt/dataRemote/
where YYY is the user account where XXX is the disk location in the data server, e.g. /mnt/data0
To mount on startup
edit /etc/fstab
add line
ssh#YYY@pauli.physics.fsu.edu:XXX /mnt/dataRemote/

Uninterruptible Power Supply
 Warning : | shutdown protection not tested |
A uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is used for power the data server, the achieve data server, and the Ethernet switches on the rack.
a program for monitoring the UPS is installed from https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/software/power-panel-business/powerpanel-business-4-8-1-linux/
The program provide a web interface.
