The data03
storage system is based on DellEMC Isilon hardware, that is currently about 450TB large. The data03
system is located in the Leiden Data Center and can be used to store your scientific data, directly from the acquisition source for saving measurement data or via your Workstation to allow you to do specialized data reduction. As data03
also has an archiving functionality it is essential your data stays safe over a 10 year period. For that reason all data03
data is synchronized with an identical system in the Delft University Data Center.
The data03
storage system has been setup a little different than the data02
system. The main differences are
data02
we have never received a request to restore a backup from data.
Please follow this link for information on how to connect to the data03
system.
It is your responsibility to copy all relevant data from data02
to the new data03
system. We ask you to do so as system management has no clue to the data management of your scientific date. We also ask you to take this opportunity to weed out unnecessary data from data02
and only move essential data to data03
. System management can help you perform the actual copying of data if it concerns 'easy' full directory transfer. But, please, take this opportunity to look at your data and sift out unnecessary information before transering it to data03
.
The data02
system will stay alive for the coming months, but as it is already a 6 year old piece of hardware, there is no guarantee it will stay fully functional for a long time. We plan to shutdown data02
the end of November 2022. So make sure you have copied all your important data by then.
Please inform us when you have transfered your data storage use from data02
to data03
, because we will then close your data02
share for writing. This ensures that no one in your group can accidentilly still write science data to the old storage.
