Quick Start Guide

Prerequisites

• TIR Account: Ensure you have access to an TIR project.
• Active Instances: (Optional) Have compute instances running if you want to attach the PFS immediately.

Create a New Parallel File-System

1. Log in to TIR: Navigate to your project dashboard.

2. Navigate to PFS:

   • Click on Storage > Parallel File-System (PFS) in the sidebar.
   • Click CREATE FILE-SYSTEM.

3. Configure Storage Size:

   • Review the pricing information displayed.
   • Click CREATE to provision the file system.

4. View Details:

   • Once created, you can view the PFS details on the main page.
   • Click Services to see which compute instances have this file system attached.

Mounting to Instances

Before using the PFS, you must mount it to your compute Instances:

1. Select the PFS you want to mount
2. Click the mount option and select your target node(s)
3. Specify the mount path on each node

Next Steps

After creating and mounting your PFS:

• Start Using: Access your PFS at the specified mount path on attached Instances
• Monitor Performance: Track storage usage and I/O performance
• Resize as Needed: Scale up your storage capacity when requirements grow

Important

Before deleting or resizing a Parallel File-System, ensure it is UNMOUNTED from all associated services to avoid data loss or corruption.
