Project storage migration

As previously announced, we are in process of migrating our central file storage system to a new cluster of Network Appliance hardware.

Beginning February 15 (President’s Day), we will be migrating project and cluster storage spaces to the new hardware. Initial synchronizations will be done over the next two weeks, so that the final sync and cutover time will be reduced for the larger project spaces. We are initially proposing the following schedule:

Time                    Project            New mount
Feb 15 6:00-6:30pm      /cproj/nlp         proj40.eecs:/nlp
Feb 15 6:15-7:00pm      /proj/ptolemy      proj40.eecs:/ptolemy
Feb 15 6:45-7:30pm      /proj/parlab       proj40.eecs:/parlab
Feb 15 6:45-7:30pm      /proj/radlab       proj30.eecs:/proj30/radlab
Feb 15 7:15-8:00pm      /proj/efros        proj10.eecs:/efros
Feb 15 9:00pm-7:00am    /cproj/(others)    proj40.eecs:/cproj/(sharename)



Feb 16 8pm-7am          /proj/[a-c]*       proj10.eecs:/proj10/(sharename)



Feb 17 8pm-7am          /proj/[d-q]*       proj20.eecs:/proj20/(sharename)



Feb 18 8pm-7am          /proj/[r-z]*       proj30.eecs:/proj30/(sharename)



Feb 19 8pm-7am          Followup/postponed and missed migrations

If migration of your project space needs to be postponed or scheduled for a specific time, please let us know at help@eecs. We know that downtime for some project spaces needs to be minimized, and we’ll do our best to coordinate another time with you.

As with the home directories, NFS exports will change. Automount maps will be updated at the designated migration start time. Re-mounts of project spaces will be necessary.

CIFS mounts should use the new node hostnames for best performance, with the usual sharename, e.g. \\\\proj20.eecs\macsww
