COSIMA has been given 100 TB from NRI on project ol01 for shared storage. Given that ik11 is already pretty full up, I propose that we put the new panan 1/10th, 1/20th and 1/40th simulation output on ol01. Does that sound like a good plan? Any alternative suggestions? We’re expecting that this ol01 storage will be expanded next year. ---

Nice!! Since we all open the outputs using the cookbook then what do we care where the output actually lives? What I mean by that is that I don’t understand what is to discuss here exactly… I don’t see any difference if some netCDF files live in ik11 or ol51 or what not. Could you provide us with some more context perhaps? ---

Would panan be accessible to people that are not part of ol01 through cosima cookbook? I guess that would be one thing to consider. If they will be, than sounds like a good plan ---

Just checking if anyone else in COSIMA has large amounts of data they want shared, apart from the panan simulations. ---

Anyone can join ol01, so data access through the cookbook should be fine. ---

It would require that data to be added to the COSIMA Cookbook indexing, but otherwise yes. Or you might want to consider using that data as a test-bed for a move to intake if that is the long term plan. ---

> [@adele-morrison](#): > > We’re expecting that this ol01 storage will be expanded next year. The ACCESS-NRI scheme manager here 🙂 . The current plan is for each working group to get 100 TB of /g/data storage. Since you already get that much, I wouldn’t expect an expansion next year. The expansion would only impact the working groups with a lower initial allocation. I just wanted to make this clear. ---

Oh thanks for the clarification Claire! I thought I remembered Andy saying there would be more, but perhaps not!
