1. Beantragung einer Node

Registration of a computer for the use of ISP

The group of persons basically authorized to use the system is described in §2 of the LRZ usage guidelines. Another prerequisite is the acceptance of the guidelines for the use of the archive and backup system.

First of all, you need an LRZ ID in a project managed by a master user with the authorisation for "Backup and archiving", which the master user can set. Identifiers that are automatically assigned upon enrollment at TUM or LMU are not valid.
With this identifier and the corresponding password please log in to the  DATWeb-Portal. (Attention: ABS Service and DATWeb are only accessible from the MWN network!) For each computer from which you want to store data in ISP, you can then apply for a node by clicking on the button "Request Node" in the left-hand column under the “Menu” heading. You will then receive the access data and a password by e-mail.

Please change the password immediately after you have established contact with the server.

The application form

Below is a brief explanation of the most important fields in the application form for a new ISP node in the DATWeb-Portal. If, despite everything, you still have questions, formulate your questions in an incident via the LRZ servicedesk.
