The Shaheen II project filesystem continues on Shaheen III. All Shaheen II project directories will remain on the project filesystem until November 28th 2024. After this date, KSL will remove directories that it identifies as non-essential.
Although Shaheen II project directories are available on Shaheen III, by design the Unix project groups are not. This means that you will not be able to access Shaheen II project data from Shaheen III without help from KSL.
Can data be copied from my Shaheen II project directory to my new Shaheen III project directory? Yes, provided that you are the owner of the data. Please log a ticket with us clearly stating the source and destination directories.
Is there a deadline for copying of the project data? We can do this for you before or after the decommissioning of Shaheen II up until November 28th.
Can you change the ownership of the Shaheen II project directory to my new project group, so that I can copy the data myself? We will evaluate this on a case by case basis.
Quotas
It’s important to realise that your data in Shaheen II Project directories will affect your personal inode (number of files) quota on Shaheen III project directories. It is the same physical filesystem. Therefore, it is advisable to delete the files from the Shaheen II project directory as soon as you have migrated the necessary files to the Shaheen III Project directory. Otherwise, you will quickly exceed your allocated quota.
