- We will be deleting all the home directories. (They were originally copied there as a testing convenience during our test phase.)
- We do this to enable a clean import of researchers' current production home directories from Helios.
- Lulu has advised them of this from before the Thanksgiving break, so hopefully no surprises.
- Bottom line: If there are any files on Sol which researchers cannot afford to lose (hopefully not- it was in test mode, and it's not being backed up!), researchers must move that data to Helios right away (deadline?).
2) After a predetermined date, researchers will not have access to Sol until it is again ready for testing.
- Sol will need to be turned off and worked on by us. (Approximate duration?) Therefore, it will be off-line to researcher.
- Ad hoc permission to select researches (Prasad?) will be granted so they may install and test their software.
- Tasks for us to do:
...
- Get the server's versioning hard disk recognized within the new head node.
...
- Lulu to install the Intel compiler in the /software/ directory, with the proper licensing.
...
- Your group (Prasad?) to install the Materials Studio software in the /data/ Hoffmann/bin/ directory. If Prasad is not available to do this, let's discuss our options- thank you.
- Your group (Prasad?) to install the Materials Studio software in the /data/ Hoffmann/bin/ directory. If Prasad is not available to do this, let's discuss our options- thank you.
3) Researchers will be asked to test select software on Sol.
- Changes to where the Intel compiler and Materials Studio reside (to facilitated debugging and support) must be confirmed to work for researchers.
- Again we are testing on Sol. Thus, the only production work should still be on Helios, not Sol.
