    NOTE: The cluster WILL NOT be down during this move.


    The portal (portal.rc.fas.harvard.edu) will be unavailable at times.

    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 most impactful, Phase 1 1/12/25-1/14/25, is complete. 

    This second phase will take place Jan 21-23 and will be less disruptive. Phase 2 will not require a cluster shutdown.

    Phase 2 will involve moving some small 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' - see list at bottom). Boston-based high-security shares (hsph*, sommer*, rosenthal*, econ*, hks*), and other smaller systems.

    • Jan. 22: fs2k01, fs2k02, and some other smaller systems.
