====== Data Distribution ======

Currently data is located in /data1 and /data2 on atlas50-65. If a user asks about data distribution, follow these steps:

  - Copy these 2 scripts to your directory from <code>/users/chakanau/public/Arcond/data_distribute</code>
    * hosts.py - keeps host names
    * arc_sync - the actual script to sync data to remote hosts
  - Look at "arc_sync". Here you will need to specify 2 variables:<code>
OriginalLocation - the original location of the data
USER - your user name</code>You will also need to specify the directory structure for this dataset on the farm. For example:<code>
SetLocation="/data2"
SetName="mc11_7TeV"
SetType="113210.HerwigppJetsJ6.merge.NTUP_JETMET"
SetVersion="e835_s1309_s1300_r3043_r2993_p839"</code>
  - Run the script. You may need to change the permisions on the remote host to be abale to copy the data.
  - To remove the data, use the "arc_rm" command (Be sure to specify the location of the data on the farm!).
