Data handling

How can I move my data from Optimus to the new cluster?

Optimus is within the same network as the cluster, making it straightforward to transfer data between the two systems. To move data from Optimus to the new cluster, follow these steps (provided you configured the jumphost):

1. Create the project folder on the cluster at /storage/project_path.
2. Log in to Optimus.
3. Use the following command to transfer your data:

scp -r "/data_path_optimus" "[username"@abacus-login.fbk.eu](mailto:username%[email protected]):/storage/project_path

Enroot

parallel: Error: Cannot append to buffer file in /tmp.

when you download (enroot import …) big containers on Riemann, it could happens that you run into the error above. In that case it is sufficient that you set: export TMPDIR=/run . You can now re-execute your enroot import command.
