Document Purpose

This document’s focus is the key concepts for using RDM Q as they relate to integrating RDM within your computational workflows.

Accessing RDM from PC

Gateway Who it is for How Local Aliases Notes
St Lucia Gateway Everybody \\uq.edu.au\UQ-Research R: Drive Windows
    \\shares01.rdm.uq.edu.au RDM Share Windows
    smb://shares01.rdm.uq.edu.au RDM Share MacOS and Linux
Institute Gateway #1 AIBN \\uq.edu.au\UQ-Inst-Gateway1 data.aibn.uq.edu.au Q storage allocations only
  CAI \\uq.edu.au\UQ-Inst-Gateway1 data.cai.uq.edu.au Q storage allocations only
  QBI \\uq.edu.au\UQ-Inst-Gateway1 data.qbi.uq.edu.au Q storage allocations only
  IMB \\uq.edu.au\UQ-Inst-Gateway1   Q storage allocations only.</br>You may need to request that it be mounted.
Institute Gateway #2 IMB \\uq.edu.au\UQ-Inst-Gateway2 data.imb.uq.edu.au Q storage allocations only.</br>The Institute Gateway #2 hardware is being decommissioned soon.</br>

Note:

All Institute users can access their RDM Q allocations via the Institute Gateway #1 once it has been set up.

Requesting your RDM Q storage allocation be mounted on an Institutes endpoint

Owners of RDM Q storage allocations should email rcc-support@uq.edu.au to request it be mounted. </br> Please provide details of the collection and confirm that you are the owner.</br>

New requests to mount RDM Q storage allocations onto Institute Gateway #2 are being mounted to Institute Gateway #1.

Accessing RDM from Bunya HPC

All Q storage allocations can be accessed from Bunya HPC. The filepath will look like /QRISdata/Q1234

It is not possible to mount A or I type RDM collection storage allocations onto the HPC.

Users of onBunya service are provided with convenient short cuts on the desktop to access the RDM Q storage allocations that they are the owner of, or collaborator with.

Please refer to the Bunya Storage User Guide section on using RDM Q collections on Bunya and the RDM Guide for more details.
