Note:

We are gradually transitioning the O2 Storage filesystems to new hardware based on VAST technology.

VAST storage systems perform authentication against a cached database that, at this time, is updated hourly.

If your HMS account becomes locked, regardless of the reason causing the locking, any process, including batch jobs you are running on O2, will be denied access to your data and likely fail.

It will take up to one hour after you unlock the HMS account for your O2 processes to regain access permission to your data.

Overview

O2 is a platform for Linux-based high performance computing at Harvard Medical School. The name is derived from being the next generation of the HMS "Orchestra" cluster, hence "O"2.
