Globus endpoint nihhelix#helix to be retired on Apr 30

This message is for users who transfer data using Globus. If you do not
use Globus at all, you can ignore this message. If you are wondering
what Globus is, see https://hpc.nih.gov/storage/globus.html
The Globus endpoint nihhelix#helix is going to be retired on Apr 30,
2017. Helix is a shared multi-user system, and Globus transfers through
this endpoint are likely to be slow, and also contribute to the I/O
sluggishness on Helix.
Instead, all Globus transfers should be done through the endpoint
nihhpc#globus. You will be able to access your /home, /data or shared
areas exactly as you would from nihhelix#helix. The nihhpc#globus
endpoint is implemented using eight "Data Transfer Nodes" which can
operate in parallel to provide 80 Gb/s of aggregate bandwidth.This
endpoint is therefore much faster than the nihhelix#helix endpoint.
If you have shared data with collaborators using the nihhelix#helix
endpoint, you will need to re-share those endpoints using the
nihhpc#globus endpoint.
