Objective
There are 8 production machines (opsimX, where X=1 to 8) that have been replaced by 2 faster production machines (opsimblitz1 & opsimblitz2). There are working files (for multiple users) and multiple databases with simulations from pre-OpSim v3.0 versions of the simulator. The objective of this page is to identify solutions to preserving this data in an accessible way so that the older hardware can be retired before it fails.
Proposal
The proposed solution is to aquire a 2Tb drive, mount it on opsimblitz2 (the Linux production machine) and simply copy all the data to this drive.
Here is a table itemizing the directories that are targeted for relocation (and preservation).
A backup strategy will be needed - either add to current backup systems, or acquire a mirror disk.
