Neon shutdown
The Neon HPC cluster will be shutdown on January 7, 2019. Working Neon nodes will be integrated into Argon and accessible as of January 21, 2019. This means that the data from your Neon home/scratch must be migrated either to your existing Argon storage or locally. Neon-era node failures in an investor queue will be replenished by extra UI inventory while supplies last. As of June 30, 2020, we no longer have inventory to replenish failed Neon-era nodes in an investor queue.
Below you can find a timeline of the transition:
...
Note that Windows will use backslashes, whereas a Mac will use forward slashes.
| /<cluster>_scratch | Your HPC scratch directory. For <cluster>, this is either "neon" or "argon" |
| /<cluster>_home | Your HPC home directory. For <cluster>, this is either "neon" or "argon" |
Windows (scratch)
\\data.hpc.uiowa.edu\
...
Same thing as above, but for Mac. You can mount network drives on Mac by going to your desktop and hitting command (⌘) + K.
Mac (home)
Third-party software
Fetch, WinSCP and GridFTP will all also connect to the server data.hpc.uiowa.edu. Refer to the table below to choose the storage path that pertains to you. Note that this is different than via the CIFS method above.
| /hpchomes/<cluster>/<hawkid>/ | Your HPC home directory. For <cluster>, this is either "neon" or "argon" |
| /Dedicated/<sharename>/ | Dedicated shares |
| /Shared/<sharename>/ | Shared shares |
| /nfsscratch/<cluster>/ | The NFS scratch filesystem. For <cluster>, this is either "neon" or "argon" |
Fetch (Mac only): This will mount your Neon account. Follow the table above for setting a path to get your data from shared shares, dedicated shares, or from nfsscratch. In this case, the path below is just for home directories. You can then execute "get" commands to pull your data from Neon onto your local workstation (keep in mind data is compressed). If you are doing this off campus (or not connected to the VPN), ensure that the "port" is 40. Note that this will require a Duo authentication and you should see notification on your default device.
