upgrade/migrate existing data on 4.4 server to use omero.fs

Postby jacques2020 » Fri Apr 04, 2014 11:19 am

Dear Omero team,

first a thank you for the great job of the version 5. Omero.fs will be a terrific improvement for the storage of large images !
I nevertheless have a question: How can a existing server (more precisely existing data) be converted to this new format (assuming that original data were archived ) to save the duplicate storage ? I failed to find any way or script to do so. I am particularly interested since my omero data are currently about 30 TB !

Of course I am not meaning accessing the pre 5 data from omero (which work perfectly) but removing the duplicate storage they use.

Many thanks for your help

Best regards

Jacques

Hi Jacques, there's one other forum thread about this. See:
https://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7430&hilit=script
I'll file a ticket, CC you, and place it in the upcoming 5.0.2 milestone,
but it's not completely clear if we'll be able to do anything general.
Instead, it may be more of a "suggestion" of what could work.

Could you perhaps explain what data you have archived for our benefit?

Cheers
~Josh.

Hi,

My data consist of many biological microscopy data mainly acquired with 4 softwares in several formats along time Andor iQ (tif files with metadata in txt), Andor Solis (formerly iXon) (multiple multiframe or single-frame tif files, older data in fits format), metamorph (tif files with nd file detailing assembling of tifs into an n-D stack, single or multiframe tif, stk), and finaly lif produced by Leica LAS-AF software. I can of course provide some as example if it helps.

I have a production server with ~ 30 TB (debian 7 64bits, ice34) and a test server for developing python scripts or so. I can indeed test a beta if it helps at some points...

Thank you for the quick answer in anyway

Best

Jacques
