Re-registration
Dear CICC users!
We inform you about the re-registration at CICC. Access to resources for JINR employees, participants of collaborations is given for 1 year, for students – for 3 months. After this time, employees, participants of collaborations must re-register. Digital request here.
Old method re-registration at CICC (temporarily): Everyone needs to re-register Each user must send a request with a completed and signed application form. Please indicate in the form : Full name, login, used resources and a brief overview of your work performed during the year at the CICC. Send the form and report to Natalia Gromova: grom@jinr.ru and Tatyana Strizh: strizh@jinr.ru
Dear CICC users !
We inform you about the following changes in the work of the CICC:
- Since 2021, the dCache storage system, although it remains in the infrastructure of the LIT cluster, will only be available for data storage in ATLAS and CMS. The EOS system is provided to store all user data. Instructions for using the EOS system are here.
- A transition from the PBS BATCH TORQUE distributed computing control system to SLURM is planned. Instructions for working with the SLURM system are here.
- A new user interface put into operation – a gateway for external connections: lxui [01-04] .jinr.ru
2019.
Dear Users of CICC!
The CICC has CVMFS and EOS subsystems installed, which will serve as the basis for storage and access with large repositories of programs and large data.
CVMFS
serves to deploy large software packages of collaborations operating in the WLCG. At present, we already have software versions NICA, BM @ N, MPD (/ cvmfs / nica, / cvmfs / …) and occupy 9.5 GB.
EOS
EOS is designed to store and access large amounts of information. Currently our EOS has a capacity of 4PB. It is common to Tier1 and Tier2. Experiments are currently used to store raw data: BM @ n ~ 81TB, MPD ~ 84GB simulation data, ALICE 712TB.
EOS short insruction is here.
At JINR, a single user authentication system, Single Sign-On (SSO), which provides access to pin.jinr.ru, disk.jinr.ru, lxpub {01-05} .jinr.ru, the Document DatabaseJINR, ADB2, SED.
You can get the sso-login-password either after receiving registration at the LIT farm, or from the system administrators of your Laboratory, or at the JINR Network Service (LIT, page 216, tel.6-34-88, noc@jinr.ru)
By changing the password through any of these services, you automatically change access everywhere.
DLNP FARM downtime.
From March 20 to 22, the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems (DLNP) farm has been transferred to the “unscheduled downtime” mode. Therefore, access for some users to the LIT farm whose “home directory” is located on the DLNP AFS server is temporarily unavailable.
2017.
On December 26 and 27
all CICC services will be stopped to replace LAN routers and reorganization power supply systems.
Starting new jobs on the batch will be stopped on the 24th of December at 12:00.
