NCSA Mass Storage System |
(April 9 2009):
SSH based access (both for login and data transfer) to the NCSA mass storage system
now available.
|
NCSA's Mass Storage System (MSS) is available to all users of NCSA HPC production systems for permanent storage of data. It consists of a high-performance system running UberFS backended by EMC's DiskXtender software, which implements the IEEE Mass Storage Reference Model. Developed at NCSA, UberFS is a new service that is layered on top of the existing mass storage system and provides an updated interface for data management.
Access to MSS is available via FTP and SSH based transfer clients, including GridFTP clients. You can also use SSH to login to your account and use UNIX command line utilities and basic shell scripting. Each of NCSA's production resources has a dedicated, high-speed connection to MSS. Your MSS login and password is the same as that on the NCSA HPC systems.
MSS can be accessed both from outside the NCSA domain
and from NCSA's production machines at mss.ncsa.uiuc.edu
and at mss.ncsa.teragrid.org.
