How is the new Fall 2014 Matrix different than the old Matrix?

End-user reporting ticket number is INC...

Expected workflow: Who is responsible for what?

ChemIT will create a snap-shot copy of each end-user's current home directory (from the production Matrix) and place it into the end-user's storage directory (on the new Matrix).

All researchers most move or copy items from their storage directory into their home directory, as they see fit.

• • Home is where currently used files belong. Keeping this small aids in disaster recovery.
    • The initial home directory is almost empty. It initially contains just the following files in order to...
  • Storage is where non-actively used, Scheraga-related, research files belong.

Each researcher must confirm that the applications they depend on work for them on the new Matrix.

• If all works as expected, notify ChemIT and include the INC... ticket number in the email. Thank you!
• If you have a problem with an application, even after you have tried working it out by yourself, please contact the group member assigned as lead tester for that application. Follow their instructions.
  • Link to chart of s/w to group tester.

Important notes: What data is erased. What data is saved.

ChemIT will save all end-user's home directories as they build them up on the new Matrix.

ChemIT will erase all end-user's storage directories.

• On the day we cut-over from the old Matrix to the new Matrix, ChemIT will make a final copy of user's old Matrix home directories into their new Matrix storage directories.

Timeline for testing

Thursday, 10/16: End-user testing starts.

??: All end-users should have logged in and started to set up their new home directories.
