The Oasis mounts are available on both Phoenix and Sol supercomputers and are mounted under /data.

NFS access to the system is only available on Phoenix and Sol,

SMB access to the system is available campus-wide or over the Cisco VPN.

Usage Guidelines

Ensure that the data stored complies with our data policy and legal regulations. Oasis does not support storing sensitive data.
Regular backups of critical data are recommended, even though our systems are designed for high reliability.
For SMB access, follow standard security practices to maintain the integrity of your data.

Backup Policies

• Snapshots are taken at the array level nightly

  • Snapshots done on the array are resilient, but not redundant

  • Data is not copied to a second array by default

  • Snapshots are kept for a maximum of 2 weeks

• All data is kept on-site and is not replicated to secondary storage by default.
