??? note "Maintenance "
The GPU cluster Alpha Centauri (Partition `alpha`) will be shut down from November 27 to
December 10 for works on the power supply infrastructure. These additional changes are planned:
* update the software stack (OS and applications, firmware, etc)
* change the ethernet access (new VLANs),
* integrate 5 new (identical) nodes.
After this maintenance, Alpha Centauri will then reappear as stand-alone cluster that can be
reached via `login[1,2].alpha.hpc.tu-dresden.de`.
**Changes w.r.t. filesystems:**
Your new `/home` directory (from Barnard) will become your `/home` on Romeo, Julia, *Alpha
Centauri* and the Power9 system. Thus, please [migrate your `/home` from Taurus to your **new**
`/home` on Barnard](barnard.md#data-management-and-data-transfer).
For now, Alpha Centauri will not be integrated in the InfiniBand fabric of Barnard.
With this comes a dire
restriction: **the only work filesystems for Alpha Centauri** will be the `/beegfs` filesystems.
`/scratch` and `/lustre/ssd` are not usable any longer. Please, prepare your stage-in/stage-out
workflows using our [datamovers](../data_transfer/datamover.md) to enable the work with larger
datasets that might be stored on Barnard’s new capacity filesystem `/data/walrus`.
## Romeo
The cluster `Romeo` is a general purpose cluster by NEC based on AMD Rome CPUs.
