ChemIT's notes on services run at the NMR server
Next steps
Ivan's to-do
- Loan Lulu a new Dell, Linux-based instrument system so she can confirm file-sharing capabilities and UI issues (file mount).
Testing done
Lulu has confirmed:
- Under Linux, NMR instrument account behaves just as it does in Windows. Basically, navigable drop-box (write-once).
- Those files dropped by the NMR instrument account behave as predicted when accessed by user's account within Windows.
- RHEL 5.1 – could be upgraded
- NFS export
- SSH / SFTP
- DNS
- DHCP
- LDAP – 150 users
- 450 user accounts
- Research groups
- MNova License Server
- Needs to be accessed from the outside world
- Refreshes key for campus and off campus users via VPN
- Not FlexLM (What app?)
- File Space for instrument PC's
- 500 GB – RAID 1 w/Hot spare
- /export/mercury300
- Home dir for each user for each spectrometer computer
- /export/data – directory for each user
