Since all the filesystems are based on IBM Spectrum Scale™ file system (formerly GPFS), the usual unix command "quota" is not working. Use the local command cindata to query for disk usage and quota ("cindata -h" for help):

Dedicated node for Data transfer

A time limit of 10 cpu-minutes for processes running on login nodes has been set.
For Data transfer that may require more time, we set up a dedicated "data" VM accessible with a dedicated alias.
Login via ssh to this VM is not allowed. Environment variables as $HOME or $WORK are not defined, so you always have to explicitate the complete path to the files you need to copy.
For example to copy data to M100 using rsync you can run the following command:

rsync -PravzHS </data_path_from/file> <your_username>@data.m100.cineca.it:<complete_data_path_to>

You can also use the "data" VM onto login nodes to move data from Marconi100 to another location with public IP:

ssh -xt data.<cluster>.cineca.it rsync -PravzHS <complete_data_path_from/file> </data_path_to> 

this command will open a session on the VM that will not be closed until the rsync command is completed.

In similar ways you can use also scp and sftp commands if you prefer them.

Modules environment

The software modules are collected in different profiles and organized by functional categories (compilers, libraries, tools, applications,..). The profiles are of two types: “programming” type (base and advanced) for compilation, debugging and profiling activities, and  “domain” type (chem-phys, lifesc,..) for the production activity. They can be loaded together.
