CHPC Major Downtime: Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 - ALL DAY
Posted: October 7, 2009
Duration: From 8:00 a.m. until evening, Tuesday October 13th, 2009
Systems Affected/Downtime Timelines:
- All HPC Clusters
- Intermittent outage of CHPC supported networks
- All CHPC supported desktops mounting CHPCFS file systems.
Instructions to User:
- Expect intermittent outages of the CHPC supported networks.
- Desktops mounting the CHPCFS file systems plan for CHPCFS to be unavailable most of the day. Those with Windows and Mac desktops should be able to function, but will not have access to the CHPCFS file systems. CHPC recommends that you reboot your desktops after the downtime.
- All HPC Clusters will be down most of the day.
During this downtime maintenance will be performed on the cooling system in the Komas datacenter, requiring all clusters housed in the data center to be down most of the day. CHPC will take advantage of this down time to do a number of additional tasks, including work on the network and file servers.
All file systems served from CHPCFS will be unavailable for a good part of the day. This includes HPC home directory space as well as departmental file systems supported by CHPC. We will work to get things online as soon as possible.
