Who's game? Gordon Biersch tapped their Oktoberfest last week (or possibly earlier). But, then again, so has probably everyone else. - Tisha _______________________________________________ This is the CELS Sysadmins mailing list.

The safe now has keys for: 1) SSF (soon to be renamed "The Core", though always lovingly referred to by me as the Computorium) 2) The new Hackspace 3) The storage closet off the cafe. == Craig

Fwd: GridFTP session
by John Valdes 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Almost forgot, this is tomorrow (or rather today, Tue). John ----- Forwarded message from Paul Domagala <domagala(a)anl.gov> ----- To: IT Admins Announce <anl-it-admins-announce(a)anl.gov> Cc: Rajkumar Kettimuthu <kettimut(a)mcs.anl.gov> From: Paul Domagala <domagala(a)anl.gov> Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:17:00 -0500 Subject: GridFTP session All, The good folks in MCS are offering a GridFTP tutorial next month. I know there are many at the lab who have struggled with efficient data transport of large data sets. While originally targeted at HPC environments, GridFTP is equally useful for user facilities and instruments that generate large data sets. Details below. (Thanks Raj) Paul Title: Tutorial on GridFTP, a secure data transfer protocol for high- performance distributed computing. Date: 9/15/2009 Time: 1-5 PM Building 401 Room A1100 Abstract: One of the foundational issues in HPC computing is the ability to move large (multi Gigabyte, and even Terabyte) data sets between sites. Simple file transfer mechanisms such as FTP and SCP are not sufficient either from the reliability or the performance perspective. Globus implementation of GridFTP is the most widely used Open Source production quality data mover available today. In the first half of this tutorial, we will cover GridFTP server administration. We will walk through the steps required for setting up and configuring GridFTP server on Linux/Unix machines. In the second half, we will explain the steps required for installing the commonly used GridFTP client ‘globus-url- copy’. We will demonstrate the usage of globus-url-copy and describe a set of best practices for obtaining maximal file transfer performance with GridFTP. We encourage the participants to bring laptop with access to Linux machines to get hands-on experience. Presenters: John Bresnahan, Mathematics and Computer Science Division Mike Link, Mathematics and Computer Science Division Raj Kettimuthu, Mathematics and Computer Science Division _______________________________________________ ihw_users mailing list ihw_users(a)lists.anl.gov https://lists.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ihw_users ----- End forwarded message -----

[CELS Sysadmins] Early Geekbeer
by Craig Stacey 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

We're going to try to finish up our office sweeps ASAP and get out of here as close to noon as possible. At that point, we're going to head to Gordon Biersch for beer & lunch (priorities). I suspect we'll want to sit outside on such a lovely day. == Craig _______________________________________________ This is the CELS Sysadmins mailing list.

Pre-move to-dos
by Craig Stacey 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

I've set up a wiki page (https://wiki.mcs.anl.gov/systems/wiki/ MoveToDo) to help us track what we need to do to get all our ducks in a row before the particular move dates in question. Please add any you think of, and let's cross them off as we hit them. We'll have a sync meeting some day next week (though I may need to break into the afternoon to make it happen) to go over the items and shore up assignments. Of note, 9/8 is when the Jazz hardware arrives and will need to be stored -- I'm currently planning to drop it into the hackspace, unless we can come up with space to store 5 racks on pallets at 3'x 5' each. == Craig

[CELS Sysadmins] Beer?

Beer! I propose Gordon Biersch, since they have a new Altbier I'd like to try. But that will also be at the Oak Park beer festival tomorrow, which I'm going to, so anything is really game. == Craig _______________________________________________ This is the CELS Sysadmins mailing list.

by Craig Stacey 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

On Thursday, a couple of sysadmins from the IBI group will be coming out to Argonne to interview for new positions with the CI as part of the CI absorbing IBI. At the very least, Ti and I will need to interview them, but if you're available for an interview, let me know. Tina or I will come up with an interview schedule. I'll forward on resumes once I get them, as well as pointers to the posting. == Craig
