Boston Data Center Move – Jan. 21-23, 2025 (Phase 2)

FAS Research Computing will be moving floors in our Boston data center in early 2025. This will require at least two downtimes to accomplish. The first phase will be completed Jan 12-13, 2025. Phase 2 will take place Jan 21-23 and will be less disruptive and will not require a cluster shutdown.

Phase 2: The cluster will be online. Some Boston storage systems will be unavailable.

Phase 2 will involve moving some storage and other individual resources. The cluster will be up, but labs with storage in Boston, including Boston Tier 2, may experience outages. This includes, but is not limited to:

- Jan. 21: Tier 2 Boston (share name has 'bos'). Boston-based high-security shares (hsph*, sommer*, rosenthal*, econ*, hks*), and other smaller systems.
- Jan. 22: cbsstore, fs2k01, fs2k02, hsphs10, and other smaller systems.

 

TIMELINE PHASE 2

  • January 21st:
    • All Day moves: No affect on cluster, some Boston storage unavailable
  • January 22nd:
    • All Day moves: No affect on cluster, some Boston storage unavailable
  • January 23rd
    • All Day moves: No affect on cluster, some Boston storage unavailable

Progress and any changes will be noted on our Status Page during this downtime.
