To initiate access to ROSS for a new personal or group (e.g. project, lab, department) namespace, please send a request via e-mail to HPCAdmin@uams.edu.  In your request, please indicate

• Please indicate whether this is for a personal namespace (e.g. primary storage for processing data on Grace), or for a group (shared storage). 
  • For a personal namespace, please indicate
    • your name
    • your e-mail
    • your departmental affiliation
    • what your login name (not your password) and domain you will use to access ROSS's administrative interface, e.g. johndoe@hpc.uams.edu (for personal namespaces we prefer that you use your HPC username,)
  • For a group namespace, please give
    • a name and brief description for the group
    • the primary e-mail contact for the group
    • the departmental affiliation of the group
    • who will be the namespace administrators - we need
      • their names
      • their e-mail address
      • their login name (not their password) and domain e.g. janedoe@ad.uams.edu (for group namespaces we generally prefer campus Active Directory usernames (e.g. the name the namespace administrator might use to login to Outlook Mail)
      • you may ask for more than one namespace administrator
      • if all the members of a particular campus AD group should be namespace administrators, you could also just give us the name and domain of the group instead of their individual names
• Please estimate approximately how much storage you or your group intend to use in ROSS for the requested namepace, divided into local and replicated amounts.  The HPC Admins will use this information in setting the initial quotas and for capacity planning.  You will be allowed to request increases in quota if needed and space is available. 
• We would also appreciate a brief description of what you will be using the storage for.  The "what it is used for" assists us in drumming up support (and possibly dollars) for expanding the system. 

If you wish to access an existing group namespace as an object user, please contact the namespace administrator for that namespace and ask to be added as an object user for that namespace.
