Samba Lustre File System Export

All Lustre file systems are accessible on your Laptops independently of the operating system you are using.

The -High Performance Computing- environment is configured in a very user friendly way.

You are able to access all Lustre production file systems as:

  • home
  • lustre2
  • lustre3
  • scratch

via samba locally on your laptop.

Can I access the file systems within the AEI only?

no, within the AEI network you can just mount the file systems and benefit of a network bandwidth of 1Gb/s.

VPN is needed to access the file system from outside the Institute.

How to get access to it?

Send a request to hpc-support. I will create an account and provide more detailed instructions as:

  • UID mapping
  • Domain
  • Samba Server

Why the Samba protocol?

Samba can be used on all platforms independently of the Operating System you are using.

Why should I make use of it?

Sometimes you need self written Codes to analyse your simulation data. You can access your data via network without keeping twice, now.
