As
previously announced, we are in process of migrating our central file storage
system to a new cluster of Network Appliance hardware. We recently completed the
first
batch of migrations.
We are planning to migrate additional home directories
according to the following schedule:
Start time
Wed Jan 27 7pm Usernames a-h
Thu Jan 28 7pm Usernames i-o
Fri Jan 29 7pm Usernames p-z
You may view the list of accounts targeted for this migration here:
List of homes to migrate
We expect each night’s migration to be completed by 7am the next morning.
Home directories targeted for a given evening will become unavailable at 7pm, as
automount maps are updated. When your home directory migration is completed,
you will be sent an automated email telling you so, and it will be immediately
available for use.
If you require postponement of your home directory migration, please let us know
as soon as possible at help@eecs. We’ll do our best to accommodate you,
and schedule an alternate time for migration.

(The following is reproduced from the previous announcement.)
If you manually mount your home directory, please read on for changes.
If you have questions about some of the technical details,
please contact your system administrator(s), or contact help@eecs.
1) NFS exports will change. AMD/automaps will be updated accordingly.
Note that this implies a re-mount.

i-q home:/vol/home/eecs/<user> home20:/home20/<user>
r-z home:/vol/home/eecs/<user> home30:/home30/<user>
2) CIFS/Windows access will change similarly. Active Directory will be updated
accordingly, so that corresponding H: drives will be mounted from the new
location.
