Data Dispenser for copying on external disks

At the start of your visit
• Plug your external hard drive into the DataDispenser and note the port name.
• From any workstation open a browser and go to http://i18-dd001
• Click "Define a new Clone" (login with your FedID if prompted to do so).
• Enter your visit ID (e.g. mx100-1) if it's not already filled in.
• Choose a clone ID (eg backup1, no spaces allowed).
• Specify what visit data you want copied (default: all except tmp/). See figure 2.
• Select which external hard drive you want the visit data copied to.
• Specify the directory name on your external hard drive to copy to.
• Click "Save".

During your visit
• Browse to http://i18-dd001 and click on your Clone name.
• Hit refresh to display the current state of your Clone.
• If you see 'Waiting for external media' this means either:
– your external hard drive has filled up; or
– your Clone does not have an external hard drive assigned to it.
• Plug in your first or additional external hard drive.
• To the right of the Add external media button, select your external hard drive.
• Click "Add external media".

At the end of your visit
• Wait until all your data has been collected and written to the visit directory.
• Browse to http://i18-dd001 and click on your Clone name.
• Click "Finalise CloneID" this does a final pass to ensure all data has been copied - otherwise
your last few datasets might be missing!
• refresh the page until the Clone is Terminated.
• click the "External Media" tab on the web page.
• click "Unmount" for your external hard drive.
• refresh the page until the unmount has completed (normally a couple of seconds).
• Unplug your external hard drive from the DataDispenser hardware.
Notes
• The user interface does not auto-refresh; refresh the web page to see the latest status.
• You can define more than 1 Clone for a visit if required, but each needs its own external hard
drive.
• Users can only define and manage Clones for their own visits.
• A non-zero value for Files skipped due to missing is not an error.
• A non-zero value for Files skipped due to filename invalid for current media means the DataDispenser
attempted to copy a file whose path name was valid under ext3 but invalid under your filesystem (eg FAT), so the file could not be copied.
