Set up gen3 repo on NERSC CFS for general DESC access #59

Closed heather999 closed 2 years ago

heather999 commented 2 years ago

Jim requested that the Run2.2i and Run3.1i gen3 repos currently on /global/cscratch1/sd/descdm/Gen3/Run*i could be set up on CFS at NERSC.

The area will be set up under /global/cfs/cdirs/lsst/production/gen3/DC2/Run*i

To allow DESC users to easily utilize these repositories, they should be able to add symlinks to their own area (such as on CSCRATCH) under /global/cfs/cdirs/lsst/production/gen3/DC2/Run2.2i/run22_repo/u for example.

A globus copy is currently ongoing to copy the content of /global/cscratch1/sd/descdm/Gen3/Run*i to CFS. When complete, permissions need to be set up to allow all members of our DESC lsst Unix group the ability to add these symlinks.

The globus copy completed. On Slack, Jim indicated that Run3.1i/run31_repo could be removed and we have no interest in the contents of Run2.2i/run22_repo/u So those have been removed.

The /global/cfs/cdirs/lsst/production/gen3 area allows full access to any desc* collaboration account, including descdm, so that should allow others to clean up as necessary.

I've set up /global/cfs/cdirs/lsst/production/gen3/DC2/Run2.2i/run22_repo/u to allow write by anyone in the lsst Unix group (all DESC NERSC users) and I've tested that will allow creation of symlinks in the u directory while preventing full access to the rest of the directory structure. Once run31_repo is set up , we'll want to do the same thing and set the permissions appropriately.

I did some housekeeping on the new repositories to make sure they are usable for Gen3 processing:

Run2.2i:

Cleaned up unneeded files that were copied from the descdm scratch area.
Copied missing symlinks to the ref_cat/cal_ref_cat folder.
Made symlinks from descdm and jchiang8 scratch areas in run22i_repo/u folder.

Run3.1i:

Cleaned up unneeded files that were copied from descdm scratch area.
Built new run31i_repo using lsst_distrib w_2021_39.
Ingested Run3.1i WFD visits.
Set permissions for the run31i_repo/u folder to allow users in the lsst group to symlink their own output areas.

I also tested both repos by running DRP processing on the data in each.

I think we're good to go here. Closing.
