[gpfsug-discuss] Best way to migrate data

2018-10-18 Thread Dwayne.Hart
Hi, Just wondering what the best recipe for migrating a user’s home directory content from one GFPS file system to another which hosts a larger research GPFS file system? I’m currently using rsync and it has maxed out the client system’s IB interface. Best, Dwayne — Dwayne Hart | Systems Admi

Hi Dwayne, I’m assuming you can’t just let an rsync run, possibly throttled in some way? If not, and if you’re just tapping out your network, then would it be possible to go old school? We have parts of the Medical Center here where their network connections are … um, less than robust. So th

Thank you Ryan. I’ll have a more in-depth look at this application later today and see how it deals with some of the large genetic files that are generated by the sequencer. By copying it from GPFS fs to another GPFS fs. Best, Dwayne — Dwayne Hart | Systems Administrator IV CHIA, Faculty of Med

It seems like the primary way that this helps us is that we transfer user home directories and many of them have VERY large numbers of small files (in the millions), so running multiple simultaneous rsyncs allows the transfer to continue past that one slow area. I guess it balances the bandwidth

Rather than hack rsync or cp ... I proposed a smallish utility that would copy those extended attributes and ACLs that cp -a just skips over. This can be done using the documented GPFS APIs that were designed for backup and restore of files. SMOP and then add it as an option to samples/ilm/mmxcp

Hi, I agree, a tool with proper wrapping delivered in samples would be the right approach. No warranty, no support - below a prototype I documented 2 years ago (prior to mmfind availability). The BP used an alternate approach, so its not tested at scale, but the principle was tested and works.
