Purpose
This page presents ways to use storage5k for the storage reservation in Grid'5000.
Overview
Each user has a default storage space (/home) exported via NFS. For larger storage needs, a user can book another storage space for a determined period. storage5k allows users to book resources with OAR types of "storage".
Usage
First check the chunk disk size of the oar storage resources
malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a chunk_size Chunk size: 10737418240 (10 GB)
In this example the chunk size is 10GB, so for a reservation of 100 GB, you should ask for 10 chunks.
Storage reservation
A storage reservation is an oar job with the resources type is "storage". you can submit a storage reservation with two way:
with storage5k command: malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a add -l chunks=2,walltime=2 [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description with type constraints [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description as storage Generate a job key... OAR_JOB_ID=648 Reservation mode : waiting validation... Reservation valid --> OK
with oarsub command: malachheb@suno-5:~$ oarsub -t deploy -l chunks=2,walltime=2 -r "2011-12-09 11:57:00" [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description with type constraints [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description as storage Generate a job key... OAR_JOB_ID=649 Reservation mode : waiting validation... Reservation valid --> OK
