Add shared storage
This information is out-of-date. Please note that we're creating a new knowledge base on support.mydre.org. This Help MyDRE website will be decommisioned in the next weeks.
Feature details
Feature available to:
All members
Short description:
A separate shared storage available via VMs of different Workspaces
Typical use cases:
Different studies working on exact the same datasets (cost savings, version challenges)
Implications/limitations:
Data on the common shared storage is not backed up or snapshotted
All members can read/write
No audit trail of ingress/egress via data share between the Workspaces
Data is only accessible via VMs, not the portal
Instructions
Fill in form and request Shared Datashare
Once created, a Core Support Team member will upload a .txt file and inform you
Open the .txt in Notepad or Notepad++
Save as (all types), make sure last 4 characters are: .ps1
Close Notepad
Right click the file, run with Powershell
After completion, go to the Windows Explorer > This PC. An extra drive should be visible, this is the Shared Datashare drive
In each Workspace each member needing the Shared Datashare must run the script once
*) if you want certain members not to have access to the Shared Datashare, don't provide them the opportunity to run the script; e.g. zip with password protection the .ps1 file
