 +<note warning>Farber is retired. For details please see [[https://cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/sites.udel.edu/dist/2/10075/files/2022/10/Farber-End-of-Life-Plan-and-Policies.pdf|Farber End-of-Life Plan and Policies]] including the following update.
 +
 +**Update**
 +Starting in July 2023, IT RCI will begin dismantling the Farber cluster. Compute nodes, extraneous network equipment, and the racks containing it will be removed from the Data Center. The Farber head node will remain online to provide ongoing access to the home, workgroup, and /lustre file systems**[1]** for a period yet to be determined.
 +
 +**Home and Workgroup File System Details**
 +Starting on the same date, home and workgroup file systems' daily snapshotting will be suspended. All prior snapshots will remain present. This will allow users to rearrange, archive, and delete files in those directories: the final snapshot will continue to be present as a read-only backup of the content prior to cleanup activities.
 +
 +**[1]** In our original email regarding the shutdown of Farber we stated that /lustre would not be available after July 2023. Given the amount of data present on /lustre, we have reconsidered that policy.
 +</note>
 +
 +Login (head) node is online to allow file transfer off Farber's filesystems (home, /home/work and /lustre/scratch directories).
