Ipv6 on the Network
The UPR-RP Science DMZ has the IPv6 internet protocol, and we are now working on the Multicast setup. In march 25, 2015 the final configuration to route IPv6 was finished and we are finally routing traffic through IPv6. Roberto Garcia assigned the network block to the UPR-RP Science DMZ network and we have tested the configuration doing a ping6 test to www.kame.net and a traceroute6 from our network to a public google IPv6 DNS finally no IPv6 test would be finished without displaying the dancing turtle.
DMZ Node Configuration
Once all servers were recieved, we started a clean Centos 6.5 installation with 7TB of Space for Gluster and 5TB of space for Tahoe . In Gluster the configuration is stripped replicated, so the data is stripped between three bricks and replicated. And in Tahoe the data is is needed only in two out of six servers.
CC-NIE Case Study: Next Generation Sequencing Data
Humberto Ortiz published a blog with a comparison of his experience transfering Next generation sequencing data from the commodity UPRRP network to the HPCf, and from the new Science DMZ network to the HPCf.
