When the additional datadisk data04-08 were released it was under the assumption, which most of you probably do not remember , that they migt disappear with short notice because the vendor MTI did not deliver a system with proper specs. THIS WILL NOW HAPPEN ON MONDAY. I enclosed two messages one from todays weekly RCF meeting - minutes thanks to Betty- and and second describing the actions to be taken // Minutes 2)MTI disk deal cancelled. ZCYZX Co. on board, having configured a system that has passed RCF's specs. After RCF obtains positive references, the system could be delivered ~4-6 weeks. The old disks have to be removed so some reboots will occur as controllers are swapped etc. Announcements will tell when. // from Maurice A 1) the data01 and data03 filesystems are on datadirect disk and are safe. 2) the data02 filesystem needs to be moved from vivant to gladiator disk 3) the data04-08 will go away. the data02 filesystem needs to be moved. i'm doing some practice runs now to get the process down. it will require: 1) dropping the vivant filesystems that we're not using to free up one of the two hba's that the vivants were using. 2) hooking up the gladiator to the free hba. 3) reboot to find the gladiator disk. 4) put the gladiator disk into veritas and move the filesystem transparently. (tests appear that it takes about 20hrs to move the data in the background with little performance loss) so i might have to reboot once or twice to configure the gladiator disk raid on rmine001 but that should be the extent of interruption. ///// This implies that we will loose for a while the data04-data08 disks. I do not think all data from data04-data08 can be moved nor do I think it is needed. -- I will make sure the data04/FFSel directory created for the FS analysis are moved -- All other users (ejkim, beam, jhlee, rami, ourdane, ekman, nbi, sanders,hiro ) are requested to check if all of the many raw datafiles present on data01-data03 are really needed, or if reduced files are ok for this purpose.Please clean-up. Only you can do it due to protection. - Please beware you will only have until Monday noon to giveup/save/archive files form data04-data08.You do not have to remove any files on data04-data08 thye will disappear. - current usage data01 91% full of (390G) data02 82% full of (310G) data03 96% full of (400G) ------------------------------------------------------ Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory tlf: 631-344-4106 fax 631-344-1334 e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov
