# LLSM
22
-The Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy (LLSM) setup consists of a 208-core compute workstation cluster located in the Warren Alpert Building,
23
-where the data is also acquired. This local cluster is connected via 80GB link aggregated fiber connections to the server infrastructure at the CLS building, where the data is stored and later archived to HMS storage.
24 20
25
-A 41 TB capacity scratch fast SSD server is configured to allow temporary storage of the data being processed and is racked in the CLS building. It is also connected to a 261 TB capacity spinning disk data storage file server via 40GB copper links.

+A new 348 CPU cluster is being provisioned. You can ssh with your labs account to tkv1.med.harvard.edu and submit your CPU job there. As the new Linux workstations are ser up in the lab jobs will be able to directly submit jobs from there.

-# Data Backups
28
-Full and incremental backups are made of SBGrid file servers, including your home and data directories. These backups are usually kept for three months. If you need a file restored, please contact us at [help@sbgrid.org](mailto:help@sbgrid.org).

+# Data Storage
29 27
30 28
Processed data copied to the **datasync2** directory and flagged to be archived are synced to HMS orchestra storage.
31 29
On the main storage server, directories located at **/data1/home/tk/public/datasync2** must be flagged with a 'transfer.txt' file in order for the data to sync with Orchestra transfer node. Users must manually create the file. While transfering, a 'transfering.txt' file is created inside the directory. Once the transfer is done, a 'transfered.txt' file is created inside the same directory to indicate that it finished.
