Storage Services
General services
Access to the infrastructure is through front-end (login) nodes, also known as application servers. Each of the two resources, norstore-osl and norstore-trd, have their own application servers. Please check the table below to find the appropriate server to access your project allocation.
| Resource | Server name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| (access point) | ||
| norstore-trd | norstore-trd-app0.hpc.ntnu.no | general |
| norstore-trd | norstore-trd-app1.hpc.ntnu.no | general |
| norstore-osl | norstore-osl.uio.no | general |
An overview of the NorStore resources is found on the hardware page.
To access or transfer data to one of these resources, use the following commands.
ssh username@norstore-trd-app0.hpc.ntnu.noto access and
sftp username@norstore-trd-app0.hpc.ntnu.noto transfer.
Specific services
The NorStore project is in the process of setting up specific services for user communities. The user interfaces and services presented on these pages represent the services that are currently available and supported.
The users and potential users are encouraged to provide feedback on the services and interfaces they believe should be supported on the resources. Please send an email to sigma@uninett.no on this.
Special interfaces may be established for specific projects or communities. Such interfaces may become generally available if this is considered useful (or requested) by several projects.
The NorStore service does not currently include services for visualization of data, but the service will be expanded in the future to support such functionality.
The following specific services are supported on at least one NorStore resource.
