Termination of "/work" directory service for computing servers
The current service of "/work", which is used as a woking directory on
computing servers (login names : xc40, lmpcc, vpcc), will be terminated
at the end of December 2020.
As the next service, we are planning to provide high speed I/O volume
service That is different in usage from the current service. Details will be
announced separately.
If you have data in the "/work" directory of each computing server,please
read the following instructions and move your data before the end of the service.
If your collaborators outside JAIST are also using Cray XC40, please forward
this announcement to them if necessary.
<<Details>>
1. Details of service termination
The working directory "/work" of computing servers(login names : xc40, lmpcc, vpcc)
2. Service termination date and time
December 31, 2020, at 12midnight
3. Cautions
3.1 The system will be shut down without notice after the service ends.
3.2 After the service is terminated, you will not be able to access your data
in "/work" directory.
Be sure to move the necessary data to the home directory "/home" (*1)
or "Project" directory (*2) before the service ends.
3.3 On Computing servers "lmpcc" and "vpcc", you can execute jobs from
your "/home" directory or "Project" directory.
Please change the job execution directory as soon as possible.
3.4 It may take longer than expected to move your data.
It may take several weeks to move your 1TB data because many users will be moving
data at the same time and the I/O load will increase.
Be sure to move your data with a sufficient margin.
