This page describes how to manage your storage quota on our Lustre and Panasas storage systems.

Determine quota usage on the HPC/Spear (GPFS)

To determine how much of your quota you are using in your HPC or Spear home directory, login and run the following command:

This page describes how to transfer data to and from the HPC and Spear filesystems (GPFS) and Research Archival using SFTP, SCP, or RSYNC.

Choosing a transfer option

There are three basic ways to move data to and from our storage systems:

This page describes the storage systems available at RCC and how to use them.

All RCC storage systems are configured as Globus endpoints to facilitate the transfer of data. Globus can be used in a number of different ways:
