RDSS / Myriad Data Storage Transfer Service

This guide outlines shows how to transfer data between RDSS and Myriad

Before you start...

• This is a first iteration of the service and there are further improvements that can be made as the usage of the service grows.  
• Please be aware there may be some slower transfer speeds as more users make use of the service.  We will be monitoring it and improving the service as required.
• Data transfers can be done in either direction using cp or mv commands as you would normally on any Linux system
• We suggest using cp rather than mv to make sure there is a copy on the original storage as RDSS is backed up.

Instructions

1. Login into myriad 

   ssh username@myriad.rc.ucl.ac.uk

    

2. Once you have logged in to myriad you then need to ssh to the transfer02 node

   ssh username@transfer02

    

3. The RDSS is mounted on /mnt/gpfs/live/<project name>, and accessed in the same way as through ssh access on the RDSS. Myriad's storage is mounted in the normal location. Please see an example of changing directory to a RDSS project below.

   cd /mnt/gpfs/live/ritd-ag-project-rd0000-djhan08/
