A project owns its own storage area which can be accessed by the storage members.
|
|
Projects can receive a higher storage quota than user areas and should be the primary way of organizing bigger storage requirements
|
|
in a multi-user collaboration.
|
|
|
|
Access to a project's directories is governed by project members belonging to a common **Unix group**. You may use an existing
|
|
Unix group or you may have a new Unix group created especially for the project. The **project responsible** will be the owner of
|
|
the Unix group (this is important)!
|
|
|
|
The **default storage quota** for a project is 1TB (with a maximal *Number of Files* of 1M). If you need a larger assignment, you
|
|
need to request this and provide a description of your storage needs.
|
|
|
|
To request a project, please provide the following information in a **[PSI Service Now ticket](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp)**
|
|
|
|
* Please open an *Incident Request* with subject:
|
|
```
|
|
Subject: [Merlin6] Project Request for project name xxxxxx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* and base the text field of the request on this template
|
|
```
|
|
Dear HelpDesk
|
|
|
|
I would like to request a new Merlin6 project.
|
|
|
|
Project Name: xxxxx
|
|
UnixGroup: xxxxx # Must be an existing Unix Group
|
|
|
|
The project responsible is the Owner of the Unix Group.
|
|
If you need a storage quota exceeding the defaults, please provide a description
|
|
and motivation for the higher storage needs:
|
|
|
|
Storage Quota: 1TB with a maximum of 1M Files
|
|
Reason: (None for default 1TB/1M)
|
|
|
|
Best regards,
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**If you need a new Unix group** to be created, you need to first get this group through
|
|
a separate ***[PSI Service Now ticket](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp)**. Please
|
|
use the following template. You can also specify the login names of the initial group
|
|
members and the **owner** of the group. The owner of the group is the person who
|
|
will be allowed to modify the group.
|
|
|
|
* Please open an *Incident Request* with subject:
|
|
```
|
|
Subject: Request for new unix group xxxx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* and base the text field of the request on this template
|
|
```
