Using Disk Storage From Internal Clients

Using Disk Storage from Internal Clients

Disk Storage Servers (GPFS Servers)

Disk storage servers, including CIFS/NFS servers, are intended to provide disk space to batch servers, work servers, grid servers, and research group hosts in KEK.
Research group hosts should access the disk space with NFS ver.4, while user authentication is managed by LDAP.
Client nodes can also access with NFS v4, though allowed only for particular cases due to security reasons.

Disk Storage Space

This section describes the disk spaces provided by GPFS servers.
In the new system, as it used to be in the previous system, do not use the df command instead grpquota command or gquota command to check the disk space assigned to and used by each group. Also, it is possible to check the capacity and used space of the home domain with hquota. See Notice of the GPFS usage for more information.

CIFS/NFS Servers

Server List

CIFS servers are made up of 2 servers to form redundancy.
Use a delegate host name to access disk storage via CIFS service.
Delegate host name of CIFS server smbgw.cc.kek.jp

Note that passwords for CIFS (samba) servers and work servers are not synced.

Below are the paths for accessing CIFS.

This part explains where the data from the old system is stored.
The data saved from the old system is mounted on /gpfs/home/old as read-only. You can copy any old data you need to your home directory.

Notice of the GPFS usage

User application

  • CIFS requires an ID for the Data Analysis System. Application form is available here. Check “CIFS server” on the user account application form.
  • Only clients inside KEK are allowed to use the NFS /CIFS services.
  • It is not permitted to access from NAT environments.
  • A source host must be registered to the internal node database and DNS.
  • The system defines NFS client's IP addresses on servers. When there is a change in your IP address, please report it.
  • It is not allowed for NFS clients to access the NFS area with a root privilege.

Available Domains

This part deals with checking the size and usage status in the home domain or the group domain.
As already explained in the section "File System", grpquota command or gquota command should be used to check the disk space assigned to and used by each group.
[NOTICE] grpquota command always shows 0 for the domain without files.
Also, to check the capacity and usage of the home domain dedicated to each user, use rquota command or hquota command.
To check of /group/belle/users/, use bquota command.

grpquota command

<Syntax> : grpquota [OPTION] {Group_DIR}

Options:
  -h, --help            display this help and exit
  -l, --list            list group directories
  -a, --show-all        show all usages
  -t, --terabyte        print usage in terabyte (default auto)
  -g, --gigabyte        print usage in gigabyte
  -m, --magabyte        print usage in magabyte
  -k, --kilobyte        print usage in kilobyte

Regarding gquota, the size unit can be specified as an option. It is also possible to indicate a specific domain and display only the information related to this domain.
Regarding hquota, the size unit can be specified as an option.
The output shows the following information:

  • Filesystem : specified domain
  • type : quota type (USR: user quota, FILESET: fileset quota)

≪Block Limits≫

  • KB(or MB/GB) : used disk size in KB(or MB/GB)
  • quota : soft limit
  • limit : hard limit
  • grace : grace period (unset. When the usage reached hard limit, "*" is displayed)

≪File Limits≫

  • files : number of files
  • quota : soft limit on files (unset)
  • limit : hard limit on files (unset)
