Decommission of /storage/brno3-cerit/ and /storage/brno1-cerit/ disk arrays

Decommission of /storage/brno3-cerit/ and /storage/brno1-cerit/ disk arrays

Due to failure and age, we have recently decommissioned or plan to decommission the oldest CERIT-SC disk arrays in the near future:

•  /storage/brno3-cerit/
•  /storage/brno1-cerit/

Decomission of /storage/brno3-cerit/

We recently decommissioned the /storage/brno3-cerit/ disk array and moved the data from the /home directories to /storage/brno12-cerit/home/LOGIN/brno3/ (alternatively directly to /home if it was empty on the new repository).

The symlink /storage/brno3-cerit/home/LOGIN/... , which leads to the same data on the new array, remained temporarily functional.  From now on, please use the new path to the same data /storage/brno12-cerit/home/LOGIN/...

All data from brno3 is already physically moved to the new field! No need to copy anything anywhere.

Decomission of /storage/brno1-cerit/

In the near future we will start moving data from the /storage/brno1-cerit/ disk array to /storage/brno12-cerit/home/LOGIN/brno1/.

We will move the data at a time when it will not be used in jobs.

Temporarily, the symlink /storage/brno1-cerit/home/LOGIN/... will remain functional, leading to the same data in the new array. This will be deleted when the field is deleted and the data will be available as /storage/brno12-cerit/home/LOGIN/brno1/.

ATTENTION: Please note that the /storage/brno1-cerit/ disk array also contains data from archives of old, long-deleted disk arrays. We do not have plans to transfer data from archives automatically. If you require data from the following archives, please contact us at meta@cesnet.cz, and we will copy the necessary data to /storage/brno12-cerit/:

•  /storage/brno4-cerit-hsm/
•  /storage/brno7-cerit/
•  /storage/jihlava1-cerit/
   

Result

The disk array /storage/brno12-cerit/ (storage-brno12-cerit.metacentrum.cz) will be the only one connected to MetaCenter from CERIT-SC.
You will find all your data on the /storage/brno12-cerit/home/LOGIN/... disk array, and the symlinks to the old storage will be removed by summer at the latest.
 
We apologize for any inconvenience and wish you a pleasant day.
Sincerely, MetaCenter.
