Next scheduled downtime for January postponed

Posted by burgerdm on Friday, December 11, 2020 in Website.

The upcoming regular ACCRE downtime that was tentatively scheduled for Jan 12-14th will be postponed. Of the three main maintenance activities, the hardware related to the /scratch storage work did not arrive on time.

We are working with the supplier on confirming an arrival date for all the parts and with ACCRE’s Faculty Advisory Board on rescheduling this for Feb 2-4th.

This will impact all gateways, storage systems, and compute. The three main work items in scope are:

• Hardware updates for /scratch storage
• Finish repairing the intra-datacenter connection that failed in September
• Update servers to CentOS 7.9 and build new Lmod

Please plan accordingly and contact us via our helpdesk if you need any assistance. Additional reminders will be sent out prior to the downtime.

Updated Jan 8 to reflect downtime postponement.
