Download a PDF copy of this document: RESITHUB-MappingRDSLinux-220323-1500-627.pdf

Info
titleGetting Access to a Drive
  • After being granted access to a drive, you must restart your computer before mapping a drive to it.
    If you are denied access to a drive, please restart your computer and try mapping it again.

  • Authorizers can grant access to users via the Permissions Manager.
    Authorizers do not automatically have access, but they can grant access to themselves.

  • The Permissions Manager can be accessed here: https://bmirdsdp.chmccorp.cchmc.org/dp/.

  • Instructions on how to use Permissions Manager are here: https://confluence.research.cchmc.org/x/dgNcAw.

  3. For the Server Details section:
    • The "Server" field, type the address of the shared volume (or folder) you would like to mount, for RDS drives this is "rds6.cchmc.org".
    • The "Type" field should have "Windows share" selected.
    • The "Share" field should have the name or number of the drive.
    • The "Folder" field should have the name of the folder.
    • Examples: For the folder \\RDS6.CHMCCORP.CCHMC.ORG\CAGE-S\SHARED the Share would be "CAGE-S" and the folder would be "Shared". For the drive \\RDS6.CHMCCORP.CCHMC.ORG\CAGE-11\WEIRAUCH_LAB the Share would be "CAGE-11" and the folder would be "Weirauch_Lab".
