Getting started with the I2BC cluster
Take home message
- Objective 1: there are 2 types of spaces: storage & computing, some are backed up regularly, others should be used for intermediate files
- Objective 2: to reserve resources on the cluster, you have to go through the scheduler using
qsub - Objective 3: software on the cluster can be accessed on the nodes using the
modulecommand - Bonus: you can use
i2bc_quotato get information on your storage usage and the.snapshotsfolder to retrieve older versions of files/folders
You now have all the tools in hand for a very basic usage of the cluster.
In the next exercise, we’ll see together how to fine-tune your skills in order to optimise resource usage.
