Overview
How should I use DKUCC storage?
To optimize the performance of the cluster and make your utilization efficient, we recommend the following:
- /dkucc/home -> personal scripts and configuration files, environment setup information
/work -> large data sets under analysis, intermediate results. In the root folder, create your own folder for your use with:
mkdir <netid>Remember: Files older than 75 days are automatically purged!
The DKUCC has several shared file systems available for all users of the cluster. General partitions are on Isilon, 40Gbps or 10Gbps network attached storage arrays.
Sensitive data is not permitted on cluster storage.
| Path | Size | Description | Backups |
|---|---|---|---|
/work | 50TB | Unpartitioned, high speed volume, shared across all users. Files older than 75 days are purged automatically. | None |
/dkucc/home/<netid> | 1TB | Use for personal scripts and configuration files, and other environment setup. When a users Duke ID is deactivated, their access and home directory is automatically removed from the cluster. | None |

Transferring files
You must be connected to the DKU network or from off campus, use VPN.
PuTTY is an SSH program for Windows, and WinSCP and FileZilla are the secure file transfer programs. In the case of Mac OS, SSH and SCP are built in (“Terminal”), as it is with Linux distributions.
Open Terminal from Mac, then in put follow command to login.
ssh Your_NetID@dkucc-login-01.oit.duke.edu
