A place to inventory IT-related issues and their current status. And to promote understanding and coordination among Will and other research group members, Chemistry IT, and the folks at Northwestern.

Facilitating ideas

  • Cornell can provide Northwestern staff with a NetID if that would make things easier.
    • For example, CU Blogs exporting work.
    • Other ways doing this can help the process?

Info

  • 10-11 people going to Northwestern, from the current group. Plus Will.
  • Group has 20 members, per ChemIT's records on 3/4/16.
  • Also, 3 system accounts (shared by the group members)

Timing hopes and expectations (general)

  • Move date will be around July 15th.
    • Lab space to be finished by July 1st (as of 4/29/16)
  • By in large not taking any of the computers, even those attached to instruments. Also, not taking any printers. Exceptions:
    • Will's Mac laptop (likely he'll keep)
    • PC laptop attached to group's Mass Spec (MS).

Data file move (file share)

Cornell file share service (SFS)

Next steps

  • Ryan: To give ChemIT an account number for them to buy a 1TB drive. 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:

  • On a specified day, turn off access to SFS so no one can change files on file share anymore.
  • All files copied to 1TB ($60-70) USB external hard drive.
    • Time estimate, if done on campus?
  • USB external hard drive taken to Northwestern and data moved to their files storage service.
  • Once confirmed all data successfully in Northwestern, then turn off Cornell's SFS file share.

 

Outward facing (2 web sites)

Cornell-based group web site (CU Blogs)

Next steps

Ryan: Try to get a Northwestern ID and get a site started. 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.

Oliver,

I’m with Weinberg IT, and we’re also available to help. We also understand there is more website-related work as part of the group’s move. Don’t hesitate to let me know if there is anything my team can do.

Best,

Idea

Export group site from CU Blogs using WordPress tools made available within our CampusPress instance.

  • Also pullout anything that process misses.

Import into NUBlogs (sp?) using WordPress tools made available within their CampusPress instance.

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

Cornell-based CATON site (CU Blogs)

See also

  • See above info in their group web site since much applies to this blog, too.

Next step

  • Ryan: To follow up with Will. Perhaps get access to the GoDaddy web site to do the necessary work to close out the non-Cornell domain name ticket.

To still get done

  • Finish getting non-CU-based domain name configured correctly.
    • ChemIT ticket #: INC000001551512
    • CIT ticket #: INC000001566397 2DPolymer.net => blogs/caton
    • Group will want to inform Northwestern of this need, so they are prepared for when it moves.

  • Rework workflow, including no longer relying on use of Ryan's Cornell-contracted Box.com account.
