• Selectively choose (from storage) just the files you need for running jobs.
• For your convenience, ChemIT has pre-populated configured your home directory in the following way:....

A copy of your data from old Matrix has been put on the storage system in  "/storage/netID".

• Storage is where non-actively used, Scheraga-related, research files belong.

You thus need to move or copy files needed to run jobs from storage to your new home "/users/netID" to test jobs.

• Leave files in storage which you don't need for your jobs.
• Keeping your home directory small aids in disaster recovery for the entire group.

In production (NOT DURING TESTING!), you will move results and data you want to save long term back to storage

...

• All research applications are installed under “/software”.
• See the storage chart for more details on disks & partitions in the new cluster, and how that compares to the old Matrix.
• The default queue is dque instead of express as the node is not available for express queue.

WHAT DATA IS ERASED after testing. And what data is saved after testing.

ChemIT will save all end-user's home directories as they build them up on the new Matrix.

• This is to preserve all researcher's investments in getting their research files to work on the new Matrix.

ChemIT will erase all end-user's storage directories on the new Matrix, at end of testing.

• On the day we cut-over from the old Matrix to the new Matrix, ChemIT will make a final copy of each user's old Matrix home directories directory into their new Matrix storage directoriesdirectory.

ChemIT will create a snap-shot copy of each end-user's current home directory (from the production Matrix) and place it into the end-user's storage directory (on the new Matrix).

All researchers most therefore move or copy items from their storage directory into their home directory, as they see fit.
