Raw Data

  1. Transfer the data onto a hex disk or mount an external pair of eSATA disks on hex5 of hovsi
  2. To copy data across the network from <host1> to <host2>:
    1. log on to the computer hosting the data: <host1>
    2. change to the directory containing the data
    3. vsib_send -H <host2> *.lba
    4. In another window, log onto the receiving host (<host2>) and change to the directory you want the data to go to
    5. vsib_recv
    6. If you're doing more than one transfer to/from the same machine, specify a port number with the -p option. Suggested port numbers: 52100, 52101, ...
  3. On hex5 (or hovsi), plug in two external drives and reboot. Disks will appear as /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdd1
  4. As root on hex5:
 mdadm -A /dev/md2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdd1
 mount /dev/md2 /data_glast/
 ls /data_glast/t08232
