Introduction:

The batch nodes and user login node are running Scientific Linux 4.4.

We have about 13 tera-bytes of online disk storage in several RAID 5 storage devices. Most of this is in use by CDF, but about 2 TB is assigned to CMS. 1 TB is currently in use by the HIRES group.

Update: New RAID arrays are coming online soon, bringing our total storage capacity above 50TB.

• A more detailed overview is here.
• Status history
• Current Farm Status

CMS related:

• CMS disks
• RAID disks
• PhEDEx Data subscriptions
• CPU utilization: recent ,  long-term
• Network I/O.
• Condor status. Condor queue. Condor queue, running jobs.

User Hints:

• Farm access, data disks, executing jobs on nodes.
• Using DCAF and SAM
• Access to all CDF DCAFs; User guides.
• Fedor's user guide for the batch system HEXCAF
• SAMGrid Navigator. Links to SAM pages.
• Creating secondary datasets, both MC and detector data.
• Making MC datasets and example MC job
• Fedor's user guide for the batch system FBSNG
• Use of local calibration database (Frontier)

Data in farm:

• Amit's list of 533 datasets.
• Datasets at Rutgers and other SAM stations (click on "cdf-rutgers" to see just the datasets at Rutgers)
• Files in the cdf-rutgers Sam Station. (Select "cdf-rutgers" in station field.)
• List of datasets created at Rutgers, updated by a cron job. Discarded datasets are not shown. Amounts of datasets on disk at cdf-rutgers Sam Station are shown.
• Users may insert files, .txt or .html or other, in /cdf/data00/DATA_INFO/ in order to give quick descriptions of data imported or generated at Rutgers.

Monitoring links:

• RUTCAF and Condor Batch Operations
• SAM-TV: Monitor your jobs on SAM Stations (cdf-rutgers is ours)
• CPU utilization: recent , long-term
• Inter-node network traffic.
• Other disk space usage: Home, Scratch, Pseudo Datasets on Scratch Disks
• An updating node status window is available.

Data Administration
