In order to save your data onto your own PI area one needs to mount the appropriate share. Here you see the available share names. You only have access to the PI share you have been assigned to by system management. If you need access to other PI share, please contact the PI and system management.
There are three ways to connect to the shares. The simple way is from the meetnet
PC or your personal desktop. Alternatively you can connect to these shares using an VPN. Both methods are described below.
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.
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 to 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
.
To mount the PI share on your desktop, go to the Computer icon on your desktop or select Start->Computer
from the windows bar to open Windows Explorer. Click on the Map newtork drive
to open the network mapping utility. If you do not see the Map network drive
option in the top bar, press the Left ALT key to show this bar is it is not visible. Once the Network Mapping utility is opened, select a drive letter and for the Folder type:
\\data03.physics.leidenuniv.nl\pi-xxxx
where xxxx
is the name of your PI. Select both the Reconnect at login
and Connect using different credentials
options. Click on Finish
to continue the mounting process.
You will be presented an Authentication windown on which you have to specify as username: PHYSICS\yourname
and of course your own password. Then click OK
to finish the mounting process.
Local machine we can trust, but your personal laptop or your machine at home may be connected from Internet so you need to build a secure connection to see the files on the data storage device. This can be done by setting up a VPN connection.
To setup a VPN connection see the How to setup a VPN pages.
Once the VPN connection is active you can use the above method to connect to data03
.
