2. Use the HIVE Project folder


Every account on the HIVE has a Project folder on the RAID5 System.
D:\PROJECTS\<workgroup name>

You can mount this folder as a network drive using:
\\10.15.127.4\<workgroup name>

Please use Connect using different credentials when connecting.
The user name and password are the same like the ones for connecting remotely to the HIVE.
User name: <Account_Name>
Password: <Account-Password>

For a detailed introduction on how to mount network drives, please see the expand box above and the box: How do I get access to the HIVE?

The data storage on the HIVE under D:\ is intended for data that you are currently working with and that requires quick access. These folders are not intended for long-term storage or backup.

I don't have a network drive to connect to, what other options do I have?

We recommend two main options, if you have no access to your network drive:

  1. You could use Sciebo
  2. You can temporally save your data on the network share of the Imaging Network.

IMPORTANT

This option is only intended for short-term storage of data, e.g. to transfer data onto the HIVE. The Imaging Network will delete this data from time to time without request. Furthermore, everyone with an WWU account theoretically has access to this data. Therefore, we recommend removing the data immediately after use.

To connect to the network share of the Imaging Network, please use Map network drive and connect to the following path:

From Windows:

  • \\wwu.de\ddfs\Cloud\wwu1\e_min\data

From Linux/MAC:

From the HIVE:

Login-Data:
Use name: wwu\<University-ID>
Password: <University-Password>

Please find a detailed introduction on how to connect to a network drive under How do I get access to my data?

I would like to save data directly on the HIVE, where can I do it?

If you have to save (temporally) data on the HIVE, please do this under the RAID 5 system in the folder of your work group.
D:\PROJECTS\<work_group>
 Note: Only your account has access to this folder.

You can also mount this folder as a network drive. For more information see the second point of the expand box How do I get access to my data?

There is a high CPU and Memory usage, but I am not doing annything. Is this normal?
Yes, this is normal and expected. The HIVE is designed to be used simultaneously by many users. 
Where can I get support if I have further questions?
Please use the Mattermost channel of the Imaging Network if you have any questions regarding the HIVE.
You can also write us a private message via Mattermost or per E-Mail.
Contact informations are available on the homepage of the Imaging Network.
