We are scheduling a NetApp migration to new hardware, from 8am to Noon 5pm-9pm on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
All Home directories and Project shares (CIFS/SMB and NFS) will experience disconnection during the migration that may cause data loss on active, open files. Please close your open files and save them before Friday morning. Services (e.g. webservice) that depend on this storage will also be temporarily down or unresponsive. Because this is a migration to new hardware, clients may experience a series of short (minutes-long) disconnections as volumes complete their migration steps.
When maintenance is completed, NFS clients may automatically resume normal operation, but a reboot should help if they don’t. CIFS clients (such as Windows and MacOS) may need to remount filesystems, or simply be rebooted.

This work was completed by around 7:00pm for most volumes, with the EECS Instructional volume completed by around 7:30pm. Staff continue to work on the migration in the background, but access to all volumes should be back to normal.
