home.eecs and project.eecs will be down from 8pm to midnight on July
12th, 2011 to be migrated to new equipment. The actual downtime is
expected to be much smaller.
The rest of this notice is primarily targeted at system administrators.
If you choose to read this and have questions about some of the
technical details, please contact your system administrator(s).
1) NFS exports will change. AMD/automaps will be updated accordingly.
Most changes will be straightforward. Some project spaces will be
handled differently, see the details below. Note that this implies
a re-mount.
Old New
home:/eecs/<user> home:/vol/home/eecs/<user>
project:/proj/<name> project:/vol/proj/<name>
2) CIFS shares will not change (except for the specially-handled project
spaces). However, SMB2 will be enabled (including durable filehandles).
3) The following project spaces will be migrated differently:
Old NFS export New NFS export

If the project space in the above list had CIFS share(s) associated with
it, the said share(s) will retain their name, but will now live on
\\\\\\CLUSTER\<share_name>.

as many of you know, Fred Archibald has retired and I have taken over
his role managing IDSG, so whether or not you have storage questions,
feel free to drop by my office to say hello and introduce yourself.
