With Hábrók HPC

Hábrók is the high performance cluster (HPC) of the University of Groningen maintained by the CIT. In order store your data in the long-term and also archive it, you can easily transfer your data from Hábrók to your preferred RDMS environment. Since Hábrók is a Linux OS, iCommands are the most efficient way of transfering your data and working with metada. For that purpose, iCommands are already installed on Hábrók.

First connect your Hábrók environment with your preferred SSH client. In order to use iCommands for the first time, you just need to create an iRODS configuration file called irods_environment.json and place it in this location in your home directory: ~/.irods/.

Under your home directory you will first create the hidden .irods/ dot folder via:

$ mkdir ~/.irods

Check if it is created:

Check if it is created under .irods/ and then proceed with creating and configuring your environment file as explained iCommands section:

Now you are ready to initilaze the RDMS connection:

Please refer to the iCommands section for further information on the configuration and use cases of the various iCommands.

Disclaimer: The RDMS team does not support Hábrók, therefore please refer to the user manual of Hábrók for further information.
