The new Matrix is faster, but it is different. Learn about the differences here to reduce your aggrevation. |
Information related to testing
How is the new Fall 2014 Matrix different than the old Matrix?
- Graphical representation comparing the old Matrix to the new Matrix, for researchers.
- Text containing full details on the new Matrix configurations. For researchers and support staff.
- Includes conventions, intentions, and associated technically-imposed limitations.
End-user reporting ticket number is INC...
Expected workflow: Who is responsible for what?
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.

Notes, to get started:
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 therefore 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.
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
??: ChemIT makes a copy of the end-user's home directory (on the current Matrix) onto the end-user's storage directory (on the new Matrix), for testing purposes.
Thursday, 10/16: End-user testing starts.
??: All end-users should have logged in and started to set up their new home directories.
??: End-user testing ends.
