Dear Slave, I just got back from a congress in Greece. I need to make sure that the /home/data/humangenetik data won't be deleted as you stated below: "otherwise we’ll have to run our scripts to delete oldest data" I am right now deleting some of the data that is redundant within our volume. We are not informed of what will happen to the physical MUG storage module. We will discus keeping it and maintain it internally by the MUG IT personnel (internal long-time sequencing data solution) if it will be disconnected from the cluster. Will there be equivalent storage available on the isilon for our /home/data/humangenetik data without additional costs? I need to refer to the initial agreement with Human Genetics when we were told something along the lines "the CEPH storage is endless (1.6 PB) and will be extended if needed by the IT" but the situation now seems more like "CEPH storage will be completely taken away and you will have nothing available without paying a yearly fee" which is not what we initially and lately invested in. Buying slow archive storage on the icilon of 350 TB (roughly what we have now on CEPH; correct me if I am wrong) would cost us 35,000€ per year (including backup according to Antrag auf storage: https://formular.medunigraz.at/form/provide/4006/) which is completely out of proportion (that's what we paid initially for the entire storage module; again, correct me if I am wrong). I feel there is a strong need to discuss this MEdBioNode Storage situation change to find a feasible solution for the Human Genetics as we invested again in a new Cluster node recently. Awaiting your response and BR, Benjamin On Tue, 2023-09-19 at 09:01 +0000, Trajanoski, Slave wrote:
