WIP: Install 1PB scratch space

Dear users,

as you may already now, we are in the process to give you access to a new scratch space of 1PB.

This scratch space is a place for temporary data, not for long term backuped data. More on the rules in a future discussion.

  • install in the datacenter the two servers and two JBODs of 60 disks each.
  • install the OS on the servers
  • install BeeGFS on the servers
  • do some testings to check performance and reliability Benchmarking a BeeGFS System — BeeGFS Documentation 7.4.2
