Dear Franklin users, We have now created a "xfer" batch queue for transferring data from Franklin to HPSS. To use, just submit a batch job script to the "xfer" queue. The maximum wall clock limit for this queue is 6 hours, and the max running jobs limit is 1. A sample xfer script would be: #PBS -q xfer #PBS -l walltime=02:00:00 hsi or htar session 1 hsi or htar session 2 Please note: 1) It is preferred NOT to specify mppwidth for the xfer job for the purpose of future development of using zero compute node (It uses the default of 1 compute node for now). The file transfer itself runs on the login nodes. 2) You could have multiple hsi or htar sessions in a single xfer job. Each session will be subject to the 60 min CPU time limit on the login nodes. 3) You could submit a xfer job from within a regular batch job. If you would like to add some job dependencies, such as submit the xfer job only if the original batch job succeeds, you could do so with the following at the end of your original batch script (the $PBS_JOBID will capture the main batch job id): qsub -W depend=afterok:$PBS_JOBID my_xfer_job Please report any problems to consult_at_nersc_dot_gov. Best Regards, Helen He NERSC User Services
