• Will's Apple MacBook Air is on AD.
  • Must be re-configured to self-support mode, if Will is to keep it.
  • Q: Steps to take?

(1) Data file move (file share)

Cornell file share service (SFS)

...

• Ryan: To give ChemIT an account number for them to buy a 1TB drive (or larger, if required).
  • Ryan to determine time of purchase and migration timeline.
• ChemIT: ChemIT to buy drive when given the go-ahead from Ryan. On date decided on, ChemIT cuts access and copy contents to drive, for the group.

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for the confirmation. I think all that’s left is data transfer. If you let me know your preferable method, I can make sure everything is in place on our end.

Ryan – When you get a Northwestern NetID, could you request a data storage share? http://www.it.northwestern.edu/research/user-services/storage/research-data.html. If you do not have Will’s NetID and do not yet have a chart string, let me know.

Regards,
Jackie

Idea: Sneaker-net data

Oliver confirmed this plan with Will and Ryan on Friday, 4/29/16.

• On a specified day, turn off access to SFS so no one can change files on file share anymore.
  • As of 4/29/16, Will thought this day would be around July 15th.
  • If group finds they need more than their 1TB within CIT's SFS, Will is fine paying to expand it for the few months they need it.
• All files copied to 1TB ($60-70) USB external hard drive (or larger, if necessary).
  
  • Time estimate to make the copy, if done on campus?
  • Roger suggest using tools he recommends to ensure complete copy.
• USB external hard drive taken to Northwestern and data moved to their files storage service.
  • Will wants the drive FedEx'd, not carried by group or moving service (as of 4/29/16).
• Once confirmed all data successfully in Northwestern, then turn off Cornell's SFS file share.

(2) Outward facing (2 web sites)

Cornell-based group web site (CU Blogs)

Next steps

Ryan: Investigate if Northwestern has a web development service to recreate the two blogs. To expand on the investigation Ryan has already done.

• Oliver recommends asking Northwestern web staff if they think it worthwhile it they are given Admin rights to the group's existing Cornell blogs (via requested sponsored NetID). Perhaps they might find a good way to do a more complete migration, without necessarily recreating as much as currently seems to be the case.

Confirmed by Oliver: CIT can't add value, even if we paid them.

Status

Ryan: Got Try to get a Northwestern ID and get got a site started. Exported data, but theme and thus look-and-feel (and navigation) did not migrate.

And find out if someone there is willing to Admin group's CU blog, for export work. (request sponsored NetID)Confirmed by Oliver: CIT can't add value, even if paid.

Contact from Northwestern

...

• Hand-correct anything missing from the export, if necessary.
