[daip] data disks

[Dr. Sylvie F. Beaulieu]

Quebec, 7.March.2005

Hello,

Is there a way to set up the data disks of any users on a data server
instead of the workstation's local disk? 

Example:
Let's have a user who is working on a Sun workstation called "gemini"
but his/her data is on a data server called "algol". And let's suppose 
that it is not possible to use the data disk of gemini at all.

If I read the install.pl info properly, it seems like the data disk
has to be on the machine where the user will work.

This is not realistic here since a user does not necessarily work on
the same machine every time. And we have one data server dedicated to
store and backup the data. 

I tried using symlink in the /DATA area but when I starts "aips" it
complained that it cannot find a data area. I have verified my 
HOSTS.LIST, DADEVS.LIST etc... and all seems ok. 

Best regards,

Sylvie.
