= Purpose =
This page presents ways to use storage5k for the storage reservation in Grid'5000.
 
= Overview =
 
Each user has a default storage space (/home) exported via NFS. For larger storage needs, a user can book another storage space for a determined period.
storage5k allows users to reserve "storage" resources with OAR.
The idea is that reservation length for storage is in the order of weeks, and therefore storage5k can persist a dataset imported into Grid'5000 between experiments
 
= Usage =
=== First check the chunk disk size of the oar storage resources  ===
 
malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a chunk_size
Chunk size: 10737418240 (10 GB)
 
In this example the chunk size is 10GB, so for a reservation of 100 GB, you should ask for 10 chunks.
 
=== Storage reservation  ===
A storage reservation is an OAR job with resources of type "storage". For each storage reservation you should specify the chunk number and the walltime (1 hour by default).
Storage5k supports two protocols for exporting the reserved volume; iscsi and NFS, you can choose the protocol you want to use with the "-p" option. By default NFS protocol is used. 
 
You can submit a storage reservation in two ways:
 
==== with storage5k command ====
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">storage5k -a add -l chunks=2,walltime=2 -p iscsi</code>}}
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a add -l chunks=2,walltime=2 -p iscsi
  [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description with type constraints
  [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description as storage
  Generate a job key...
  OAR_JOB_ID=648
  Reservation mode : waiting validation...
  Reservation valid --> OK
 
==== with oarsub command ====
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">oarsub -t deploy -l chunks=2,walltime=2 -r "2011-12-09 11:57:00" -t iscsi</code>}}
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ oarsub -t deploy -l chunks=2,walltime=2 -r "2011-12-09 11:57:00" -t iscsi
  [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description with type constraints
  [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description as storage
  Generate a job key...
  OAR_JOB_ID=649
  Reservation mode : waiting validation...
  Reservation valid --> OK
{{Note|text= Charter allows an unlimited reservation walltime.
}}
 
{{Note|text= A reservation can take a few minutes if the space reserved is very large, due to the initialization of the reserved partition in the storage server.
}}
 
{{Warning|text= Submitting a storage reservation simultaneously with compute nodes or other oar resources (vlan, subnet) '''is not supported''' (you would get an unexpected behaviour, this is a temporary limitation while we get things ironed out). }}
 
=== Check your storage reservation ===
 
Each storage reservation is identified by the job cpuset_name (e.g, malachheb_649). To display the details of your reservations, you can use "storage5k -a info".
 
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">storage5k -a info</code>}}
 
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a info
  storage5k 1.0.0
  Job_Id: 648
    State: Running
    Reservation Id: malachheb_648
    Chunks: 2
    Chunks_size: 10737418240
    Space reserved: 21474836480
    Data Directory: /data/malachheb_648
    Free space: 20018364416
    Used space: 1119879168
    Source nfs: stock.sophia.grid5000.fr:/data/malachheb_648
 
See <code>storage5k --help</code> for the list of additional options you can pass. You can also use the <code>oarstat</code> command to display your job related to the storage reservation.
 
=== Use your reserved space ===
 
The reserved  space is used to store the input/output of your experiments, therefore you need to mount this space in your computing nodes later on. There are two use cases here: nodes reserved by an '''interactive''' job, and nodes reserved by a '''deploy''' job.
 
==== On nodes reserved by an interactive job ====
 
All your reserved storage spaces will be mounted/umounted automatically in these nodes.
 
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ oarsub -I
  [ADMISSION RULE] Set default walltime to 3600.
  [ADMISSION RULE] Modify resource description with type constraints
  Generate a job key...
  OAR_JOB_ID=488925
  Interactive mode : waiting...
  Starting...
  Connect to OAR job 488925 via the node suno-7.sophia.grid5000.fr
 
  malachheb@suno-7:~$ df -ah

                      9.9G  23M  9.9G  1% /data/malachheb_488924</span>
 
Each reservation is mounted by default in the directory "/data/useruid_jobid" (e.g, /data/malachheb_488924). You can make a soft link for this directory in your home.
 
==== On nodes reserved by a deploy job ====
 
before, you should make a OAR deploy reservation and deploy your system image with kadeploy3 in your reserved nodes.
 
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">oarsub -t deploy -l nodes=2 -I</code>}}
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">kadeploy3 -f $OAR_NODE_FILE -k -e wheezy-x64-nfs</code>}}
 
 
 
{{Warning|text= <br> The deployed image should contain the <code>nfs-common</code> package, if not, you should install this package manually  on the reserved nodes.
<br> The following reference images already contain <code>nfs-common</code>: wheezy-x64-nfs, wheezy-x64-big, wheezy-x64-prod and squeeze-x64-nfs, squeeze-x64-big.
}}
 
The user should mount/umount manually the reserved space in these nodes as follows.
You must specify the protocol that you used in your storage reservation (by default is the NFS protocol)
 
* Mount/Umount ALL reserved space in ALL reserved nodes of the job ($OAR_JOBID is the deploy job which contains two nodes, suno-6 and suno-7):
 
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">storage5k -a mount -j $OAR_JOBID -p {iscsi or nfs} </code>}} 
 
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a mount -j $OAR_JOBID -p iscsi
  mount the storage reservation malachheb_651 in node suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr [ Success]
  mount the storage reservation malachheb_651 in node suno-7.sophia.grid5000.fr [ Success]
 
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">storage5k -a umount -j 651 -p {iscsi or nfs} </code>}}
 
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a umount -j $OAR_JOBID  -p iscsi                                                                                                                                                         
  umount the storage reservation malachheb_651 in node suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr [ Success]
  umount the storage reservation malachheb_651 in node suno-7.sophia.grid5000.fr [ Success]
 
* Mount/Umount ALL reserved space in ONE reserved node:
 
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">storage5k -a mount -j 651 -m suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr -p {iscsi or nfs} </code>}} 
 
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a mount -j 651 -m suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr -p iscsi
  mount the storage reservation malachheb_651 in node suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr [ Success]
 
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">storage5k -a umount -j 651 -m suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr -p {iscsi or nfs} </code>}}
 
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a umount -j 651 -m suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr -p iscsi                                                                                                                                                         
  umount the storage reservation malachheb_651 in node suno-6.sophia.grid5000.fr [ Success]
 
==== Access to your reserved space ====
 
*Only the owner of the reservation can access to the reserved space.
*In the case of deploy reservation, you must be logged in as your grid5000 username on the nodes, if you want to be able to list and create files in the reserved storage spaces.
 
{{Warning|text= All Grid5000 users and groups is preconfigured in the reference images (except the min images), the use of reference images is highly recommended.<br>
If you use another system image, you must add a user with the same uid/gid than your grid5000 username.
}}
 
=== Delete your storage reservation ===
* storage5k -a del -j $jobid
 
{{Term|location=frontend|cmd=<code class="command">storage5k -a del -j 648</code>}}
 
  malachheb@fsophia:~$ storage5k -a del -j 488787
  Deleting the job = 488787 ...REGISTERED.
  The job(s) [ 488787 ] will be deleted in a near future.
 
{{Warning|text= If you remove your storage reservation, you will lose all your data in the reserved space.<br>
Remember to save your data before the deletion of your storage reservation.
And umount the reserved space from your nodes reserved by a deploy job, Otherwise the mounted space will be referenced to a partition that does not exist in the storage server.
