Using Globus Connect
The Globus service can be used to connect to Setonix scratch or an Acacia project at Pawsey.
Disclaimer: Please be aware of the following two items.
The Globus service offered by Pawsey is currently a technology preview being run as a trial service. Further work is being done with a view to providing a production service in future.
To access Acacia, you will need to entrust your S3 credentials to the Globus Connect service. It is your responsibility to ensure that this does not conflict with your home institution’s security policies.
Procedure
Step 1 - Sign up to Globus
Go to app.globus.org and sign up for the Globus service. Ideally, you should use your home institution (e.g. Curtin, CSIRO, UWA) to authenticate. If your home institution is not available, then you can consider one of the alternative signups. However, if you don't sign up via your home institution then it may not be possible to link your Globus identity to your Pawsey identity and the service effectively will not work.
Step 2 - Link your Globus identity to your Pawsey service account
This step is not fully automated and requires you to contact our helpdesk.
You should now attempt to use the Globus service to access a Pawsey resource., If it fails, inform us of your attempt with the following details.
Details to provide to helpdesk
The time and date of your attempt, and
the full institutional email address of your Globus identity.
We will then be able to link your Globus identity to your Pawsey identity.
Step 3 - Access data at Pawsey
Setonix
Once the service is configured, you should be able to immediately access the Setonix scratch resource.
Acacia
There are additional steps required to use Acacia.
Grant any necessary permission consent requests.
Provide the Acacia S3 credentials for the Pawsey project you wish to access. Please refer to the https://pawsey.atlassian.net/wiki/x/-E0YAw for information on creating Acacia S3 credentials.
