Jasmin changing transfers

[charlie]

Hi,

No doubt you will be aware that the various Jasmin servers changing very soon with the old ones being retired.

In my various suites, I am currently transferring via jasmin-xfer2.ceda.ac.uk so clearly this will need to be changed. The documentation says that the 3 new transfer ways are:

xfer1.jasmin.ac.uk
xfer2.jasmin.ac.uk
hpxfer1.jasmin.ac.uk

So which one should I use? The 2nd, or the last? I already have access to hpxfer.

Also, am I able to making this change while my suite is running, and then simply pick it up with a —reload?

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

hpxfer1.jasmin.ac.uk is the replacement for the High Performance transfer server jasmin-xfer2.ceda.ac.uk, so yes the last one.

And yes, just change jasmin-xfer2.ceda.ac.uk to hpxfer1.jasmin.ac.uk in the suite and do a --reload.

Don't forget you will need to change your ~/.ssh/config file accordingly too.

Cheers,
Ros.

Okay, very many thanks. So I have now changed to that, and reloaded. And I have changed my config file to add a third section, so that it now reads as follows:

Host jasmin-xfer1 jasmin-xfer1.ceda.ac.uk
     Hostname jasmin-xfer1.ceda.ac.uk
     User cwilliams2011
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_jasmin

Host jasmin-xfer2 jasmin-xfer2.ceda.ac.uk
     Hostname jasmin-xfer2.ceda.ac.uk
     User cwilliams2011
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_jasmin

Host hpxfer1 hpxfer1.jasmin.ac.uk
     Hostname hpxfer1.jasmin.ac.uk
     User cwilliams2011
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_jasmin

Is this latter part correct? I wasn't sure what to put just after Host…?
