Migration

Introduction

As you know, we will get a new HPC cluster this year. This also means that CARL and EDDY will be shutdown at some point (no date decided yet) and all users have to migrate to the new system. Here you will find information for this transition, which will be updated regularly as we go along.

Data Migration

The cluster CARL and EDDY have serveral file systems for storing data. The file systems $DATA and $OFFSITE will be available on the new cluster as before, so there is no need to migrate any data here. The directory $HOME will be different on the new cluster, however we will provide access to your current $HOME so you can transfer files as needed.

The filesystem $WORK will also be completely new, and access to the current $WORK will only be possible through the old cluster or via SMB. This access will also be limited in time, although we cannot give an exact date for this now. We strongly recommend that you transfer any files you want to keep after CARL and EDDY are shutdown to $DATA or $OFFSITE as soon as possible. Keep in mind that transfering data is done at rate of about 1TB/hour.
