JASMIN Storage migration
Posted on May 30, 2025 • 2 min read • 420 wordsWe are pleased to announce that new storage hardware is now in place to replace older capacity on JASMIN, so a major storage migration is about to start.
In summary:
We will shortly begin liaising with individual GWS managers about the details and timing of each migration, aiming to draw up a calendar of migration dates which minimises disruption, over the coming year. The JASMIN team will assist with moving the “online” data.
As an individual user, you can help prepare for this now by:
/gws/nopw/j04/mygws
) to each GWS will change when the GWS is moved, so the old path will no longer work.Reminder: GWS storage on JASMIN is a finite resource provided to projects on a temporary basis for the active phase of a project only, after which it needs to be reclaimed so that it can be re-used by other projects. Projects needing to store data for longer, or to serve as inputs for other projects, should speak to the CEDA Archive team about a data management plan, ideally at the project planning stage.
Storing data, particularly on disk, has high hardware and energy costs - both financial and environmental, so we need you to help us make JASMIN as efficient as it can be so that we can continue to support your needs as a community as new science projects need to use JASMIN, within the finite resources available.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
