[NLPL Task Force (A)] [uninett.no #193602] access to Saga; storage interfaces

[Maiken Pedersen via RT]

Hi,

I will give this ticket to Lorand, which will have more information on this.
However, he is on holiday this week, so he will not be answering before next
week. Hope you have patience to wait!

Thanks!
Maiken

    dear colleagues,

    i have been enjoying two great things today already, viz. the EOSC
    Nordic kick-off meeting and the general opening of Puhti (the Taito
    successor at CSC, with 320 V100 gpus :-).

    my colleagues back home are asking about re-gaining access to Saga,
    because they have some experiments they want to plan.  i see that
    Saga already is accessible for assignment of users in the metacenter,
    hence are wondering whether there is a date set for when Saga will
    open for regular usage?

    finally, a question about the storage philosophy on Saga: i had kind
    of expected that, like Fram, our NIRD project storage would be visible
    (if read-only) on Saga, but at least during the trial period that was
    not the case.  what are the expectations regarding access of NIRD data
    from Saga?

    with thanks in advance, oe
