IA migration §2: new User Responsibilities page (synthesis of fair-use / storage / scheduler expectations) (via create-page on MediaWiki MCP Server)

New page

Anunna is a shared system. Keeping it usable and fair for everyone depends on every user following a few basic responsibilities. This page summarises what is expected of you; the linked pages give the detail.

== Use the system as intended ==

* Do not run heavy work on the [[Login Nodes|login nodes]] — they are an access point only. Run computation as jobs through the scheduler; see [[Scheduler Overview (Slurm)]].
* Do not run I/O-intensive work — including writing log files — against your [[Home Directory|home directory]]. It is on a slower NFS filesystem; write job output and logs to [[Compute Storage|Lustre]] instead.
* Request only the resources (CPUs, memory, time, GPUs) your job actually needs, so that capacity remains available for others. See the [[Fair Use Policy]].
* Do not run jobs outside the scheduler. Logging in to a compute node is only for inspecting your own running jobs; see [[Compute Nodes]].

== Look after your data ==

* You are responsible for your own data. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose — not every storage area is backed up. See [[Backup Policy]].
* Clean up temporary data. Tidy <code>/lustre/scratch</code> and node-local <code>/tmp</code> when you are done, and move data you want to keep but are no longer using to archival storage; see [[Storage Systems Overview]] and [[Archival Storage]].
* Handle confidential or personal data responsibly and in line with WUR policy.

== Look after your account ==

* Your account is personal — do not share your credentials or let anyone else use your account.
* Report problems, suspected misuse, or security concerns to the HPC team through [[Support]].
