Local Mounting of File Systems
From HPC users
If you are using a Windows computer, the HOME and WORK directory of CARL and EDDY can be mounted as network drive by using
\\daten.uni-oldenburg.de\hpchome\
and
\\daten.uni-oldenburg.de\hpcdata\ (not active at the moment)
as address, respectively. After that, the username and password of your university account (also used for CARL and EDDY) will be requested to connect this share.
There are two ways, to connect to a network share in Windows (also see web pages of IT Services regarding the L:-drive):
- Open the File Explorer and Right-Click on "This PC". Select "Map Network Drive". Choose a letter for the network drive (e.g. V:) and enter the address as explained above. If you are not using your university account to login on your Computer, also tick "Using different credentials". Click "Finish" to proceed. You should be prompted for a user name (see below) and password. After entering both, the network drive should be ready to use. If you have problems, try to google "windows map network drive" for more detailed instructions.
- Alternatively, open a command windows (cmd.exe). The command "net use" will show you any connected network drives. Use the command "net use <drive letter> /d /y" to remove any unwanted connection. Replace "<drive letter>" by e.g. "V:". The command "net use <drive letter> <network address> * /user:w2kroot\abcd1234" will prompt you for your password and connect the network drive. Replace "<drive letter>" (e.g. "V:"), "<network address>" as shown above, and "abcd1234" with your user name.
In either case contact servicedesk@uni-oldenburg.de if you are getting an error message.
Note: The username has to be specified with the domain name, e.g. w2kroot\abcd1234
