Migrating existing accounts

The sbgrid-cli migrate-account command allows a user to change accounts. This can be useful when moving between SBGrid member labs or to change from legacy SBGrid account to a new account. This is required for installation of BioGrids with SBGrid.
The “migrate-account” process does not require reinstallation or extensive changes to the software collection. A network connection and a recent relatively release of sbgrid-cli is required.

Migration in 3 steps (download, untar, account_migrate)

The sbgrid-cli has a migration function to migrate between two SBGrid accounts. You only need to run three commands. In a terminal, run:
Download the latest version of the sbgrid-cli with the curl command. You can also use a browser.
On macOS :
$ curl -k -LO https://sbgrid.org/downloads/latest/sbgrid-cli_macos.tar.gz
On Linux:
$ curl -k -LO https://sbgrid.org/downloads/latest/sbgrid-cli_linux.tar.gz
Decompress and untar the archive
$ tar -zxf sbgrid-cli_macos.tar.gz
Run the migration command. The “./” preceding the command will execute the downloaded and decompressed file from the current directory.
$ ./sbgrid-cli migrate-account
You will be prompted for a new site, username, and key.
$ ./sbgrid-cli migrate-account
✔ Enter the new site name … smith_b_123i
✔ Enter the new username … jdoe
✔ Enter the new key … nPjmIsDZYD6060jSCReL5G73AeHPxCMhDRt4==
or you can just use this command to do it all in one shot:
$ ./sbgrid-cli migrate-account smith_b_123i jdoe nPjmIsDZYD6060jSCReL5G73AeHPxCMhDRt4==
If all goes well, you should see :

Troubleshooting common errors

Authentication failed

The following error means the new account credentials were incorrect or invalid. Check for typos or errors cutting and pasting.

info: (1/3) Checking rsync credentials...

error: Authentication failed

error: Credential verification failed for user: jdoe and site: smith_b_123i

Permissions and file ownership issue

The installation must belong to user account doing the migration. The error below shows a failure due to ownership of /programs. To fix this, correct the file ownership, typically with the chown command.
$ ./sbgrid-cli migrate-account
✔ Enter the new site name … smith_b_123i
✔ Enter the new username … jdoe
✔ Enter the new key … nPjmIsDZYD6060jSCReL5G73AeHPxCMhDRt4==

info: OK -> user jdoe is the owner of the /opt/sbgrid

error: Permissions & ownership diagnostic failed

Missing programs link

A symlink from /programs to the software installation directory is assumed to be present. If that link is missing the migration fails with this error. To fix this, (re)create the link at /programs.
