The CISL User Services Section presented this tutorial December 4, 2019, for users who have data holdings on tape in the High Performance Storage System (HPSS), which became read-only on January 20, 2020, and will be decommissioned in 2021. Users have been advised to begin evacuating their holdings from HPSS.
The 40-minute presentation by Brian Vanderwende of the CISL Consulting Services Group provides guidance and best practices for moving files from HPSS to alternative storage facilities.
Topics covered include:
- Obtaining information about HPSS data holdings
- Moving files to external storage platforms using Globus and Linux utilities
- Moving files to Campaign Storage via the data-access nodes
