Mounting the cluster discs
--------------------------
You need to be connected to the DTU network in order for this to work. You can
also connect to the DTU network over VPN. When doing the HAWC2 simulations, you
will interact regularly with the cluster file system and discs.
When doing the HAWC2 simulations, you will interact regularly with the cluster
file system and discs. Thus, it can be very useful to have two discs mounted
locally so you can easily access them: 1) your home directory on Gorm and 2)
the HAWC2 simulation folder on Mimer.
### Windows
You need to be connected to the DTU network (either directly or via VPN) for
the following instructions to work.
It is convenient to map gorm discs to local network drives on Windows, because
then you can navigate through different directories in Windows Explorer just
as you would do with normal folders. You can find instructions for mapping network
drives for your version of Windows by Googling "map network drive $WIN_VERSION",
where $WIN_VERSION is your version of windows. As an example, in Windows 7, you
can map a network drive by right-clicking "Computer" in Windows Explorer and then
selecting "Map network drive". Be sure to check the "Reconnect at sign-in" box if
you want to connect to this drive every time you log into your computer.
Map the following network drives (replacing ```$USER``` with your user name)
to any local drive of your choice (e.g., the ```Y:``` or ```Z:``` drives):
```
\\mimer\hawc2sim
\\gorm\$USER # this is your Gorm home directory
```
Alternatively, on Windows you can use [WinSCP](http://winscp.net) to interact
with the cluster discs.
### Windows
Note that by default Windows Explorer will hide some of the files you will need edit.
In order to show all files on your Gorm home drive, you need to un-hide system files:
Explorer > Organize > Folder and search options > select tab "view" > select the
option to show hidden files and folders.
On Windows, we recommend mapping the two drives to local network drives, which
means that you can navigate/copy/paste to/from them in Windows Explorer just as
you would do with normal folders on your computer. You may also use [WinSCP](http://winscp.net)
to interact with the cluster discs if you are more familiar with that option.
Here we provide instructions for mapping network drives in Windows 7. If these
instructions don't work for you, you can always find directions for your
version of Windows by Googling "map network drive windows $WIN_VERSION", where
$WIN_VERSION is your version number.
In Windows 7, you can map a network drive in the following steps:
1. Open a Windows Explorer window
2. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Map network drive"
3. Select any unused drive and type "\\gorm\$USER" into the folder field,
replacing "$USER" with your DTU username (e.g., DTU user "ABCD" has a Gorm home
drive of "\\gorm\abcd")
4. Check the "Reconnect at logon" box if you want to connect to this drive
every time you log into your computer (recommended)
5. Click the Finish button
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5, replacing the Gorm home address in Step 3 with the
HAWC2 simulation folder address: "\\mimer\hawc2sim"
Note that by default Windows Explorer will hide some of the files you will need
edit. In order to show all files on your Gorm home drive, you need to un-hide
system files: Explorer > Organize > Folder and search options > "View" tab >
Hidden files and folders > "Show hidden files, folders, and drives".
