Accounts ready for move from submit-3 to submit2

[chtc-users@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi CHTC users,

This email is for those with accounts on submit-3.chtc.wisc.edu.Â

Following-up from our previous announcement: We will be retiring submit-3.chtc.wisc.edu in two weeks, on Friday, March 29. Users with accounts on submit-3.chtc.wisc.edu should now have accounts on submit2.chtc.wisc.edu and can begin transitioning their work from submit-3 to submit2.Â

See our original email below for details about account creation, quotas, and transferring data.Â

Email us at chtc@xxxxxxxxxxx with any questions.Â

Best,

Your CHTC Team

2. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THOSE WITH ACCOUNTS ON submit-3.chtc.wisc.edu:

(those without accounts on submit-3.chtc.wisc.edu can ignore the remainder of this email)

In our ongoing effort to upgrade all CHTC servers to a new operating system, we are migrating users with accounts on submit-3.chtc.wisc.edu to a new submit server, submit2.chtc.wisc.edu.

Please begin using submit2 NOW, and migrate any data for future jobs by EOB Friday, March 29.

• If you have used your HTC account within the last year, we have already created your account with a 20GB quota on submit2.Â
  
• If you cannot log into submit2, please send an email to chtc@xxxxxxxxxxx and let us know.
• Only move data that you'll need for new computational work, rather than moving ALL of your data; this is an excellent time for some clean-up of your /home directory. Write to us at chtc@xxxxxxxxxxx with an explanation if you think you'll need more than 20 GB of space on submit2.

The submit-3 server will be decommissioned after Friday, March 29.Â

• Begin moving/removing your data from submit-3 NOW, so that there is not a mad rush in the days just before this date. Any data not migrated to submit2 by then will be lost. CHTC does not keep backups of any of your data on our systems.
  
• Jobs still in the queue at that time will be lost and need to be resubmitted from submit2.

We'll send at least two reminder emails between now and March 29. Please remember that CHTC filesystems are not backed up. You should not have any data on a CHTC server that is not backed up in a non-CHTC location, and only have data on CHTC compute systems that is being used for actively-running jobs.

Thank you,

Your CHTC Team
