Data Migration

You are responsible for migrating any desired files in your personal $HOME directory from Carina 1.0 to Carina 2.0.

We encourage everyone to do some folder housekeeping before migrating. Your storage quota is the same for both Carinas.

There is no direct connection between the two systems, so you will need to download your files from Carina 1.0 and upload them to Carina 2.0. We recommend using your secure Stanford laptop as the intermediary.

Step 1 Get files from Carina 1.0

We will use rsync in a terminal on the laptop for this.

First, try the command with the –dry-run flag to check your file paths.

Step 2 Put files on Carina 2.0

Dotfiles

When you upload your files to Carina 2.0, be sure to include config files and directories such as .conda, .config, and .bashrc.

You may have application config files in your $HOME. For example, if you used JupyterLab on Carina 1.0, your settings are saved in the $HOME/.jupyter folder there.

Check your paths: /home and /share

Carina 2.0 does not have the same file structure as the first Carina. If you have hard-coded paths to your /share or /home directories, you will need to adjust those scripts.

Scripts that use $HOME to refer to your home directory will continue to work.

Your $HOME is /home/users/<sunetid>. If you have scripts that reference your /home/<sunetid> folder, change the reference to $HOME.

Share folders are now Project folders. References to /share/pi/<PI> will need to be updated to use the project folder, which will be in the form /projects/<PI>/<projectID>/
