TrdataDcache
The Experimental Data Storage is a facility dedicated to store large amount of data produced by TRIUMF experimental groups. This system is based on the DCache software (Desy and FermiLab) and consists uniquely of storage. No CPU power is available. To the users, only the main server machine TRDATA00 is visible. The files are stored on one or several disk server machines. The system is easily expendable. To obtain disk space on this system, please contact Pierre Amaudruz or Thomas Lindner. The disk servers are running RAID 6 software but the files are not backed up to another system. The users should not count on this facility as a permanent archive at this point. Currently the system has ~125 TB available.
We are currently migrating the dcache system from an older version to a new version on a new computer. The following is useful information for the transition period.
