Globus Endpoints are storage systems to which you have access. Once an Endpoint is located or created Globus saves the location for you so you do not need to repeatedly search type paths.

Setting Up Endpoints

  1. Click in the Endpoint box on the left side and search for CCLA HPC.

  2. You will be redirected to enter your credentials.

    • Authenticating the Endpoint with your credentials is known as Endpoint Activation and can be done when adding and using an Endpoint for the first time, or can be completed by navigating to the "Manage Endpoints" screen (Endpoints→Endpoint List→activate).

  3. Once the endpoint is set you can modify the path to point to your file/data. In this example, we will connect to Lustre storage: lustre/tigris/ccla/proj-shared

  4. On the right side, set the endpoint. We will use a Globus Tutorial endpoint. Search for Globus Tutorial Endpoint.

  5. Again, you may adjust the path. Your home directory is default.

Creating an Endpoint on your Personal or Work Computer
