The process of syncing data from `/warm_archive` to `/data/walrus` is still ongoing. +### Transfer Data to New Home Directory + +Your personal (old) home directory at Taurus will not be automatically transferred to the new Barnard +system. **You are responsible for this task.** Please do not copy your entire home, but consider +this opportunity for cleaning up you data. E.g., it might make sense to delete outdated scripts, old +log files, etc., and move other files to an archive filesystem. Thus, please transfer only selected +directories and files that you need on the new system. + +The well-known [datamover tools](../../data_transfer/datamover/) are available to run such transfer +jobs under Slurm. The steps are as follows: + +1. Login to barnard: `ssh login[1-4].barnard.tu-dresden.de` +1. The command `dtinfo` will provide you the mountpoints + ```console + marie@barnard$ dtinfo + [...] + directory on datamover mounting clusters directory on cluster + + /data/old/home Taurus /home + /data/old/lustre/scratch2 Taurus /scratch + /data/old/lustre/ssd Taurus /lustre/ssd + [...] + ``` +1. Use `dtcp` command to invoke a transfer job, e.g., + ```console + marie@barnard$ dtcp --recursive /data/old/home/marie/<useful data> /home/marie/ + ``` + **Note**, please adopt the source and target paths to your needs. All available options can be + queried via `dtinfo --help`. + ## Software Please use `module spider` to identify the software modules you need to load. Like -- GitLab
