All practicals should be done on ECS, so it is required to login to ics-login first:
ssh ecs-login
Users with full HPC access can do the practicals from hpc-login node as well.
1)
Create new directory in ectmp and archive file: /home/trx/grib_practicals.tar to the directory:
emkdir ectmp:training_2023 # change ECFS directory to ectmp
ecd ectmp:training_2023 # change to your new ECFS directory
ecpwd ectmp: # see what is your current directory in ectmp
ecp /home/trx/grib_practicals.tar ectmp: # copy the file to your current ectmp directory
els -l ectmp: # list your current ectmp directory (the grib_practicals.tar file should appear in the list now)
ecd ectmp: # go back to your ectmp home
els -l ectmp: # you should see your training_2023 directory now
els -l ectmp:training_2023/ # list the directory to see grib_practicals.tar file inside
2)
In GRIB practical session you have already unpacked grib_practicals.tar in your $SCRATCH or another folder on ECS. Archive the entire folder to ECFS (ectmp) as one ECFS file.
ecfsdir grib_practicals ectmp:
grib_practicals
grib_practicals directory saved
els -l ectmp:
-rw-r----- 1 user group 37014528 Nov 2 16:15 grib_practicals
Note, in ECFS your Unix directory structure is saved as a file.
3)
Restore your grib_practicals directory from ECFS
mkdir $SCRATCH/temp_dir_for_ECFS_practicals # create temporarily directory
cd $SCRATCH/temp_dir_for_ECFS_practicals
ecfsdir ectmp:grib_practicals ./grib_practicals_copy # download the directory previously saved in ECFS to your local directory with name grib_practicals_copy/
ls -l
