[IITAC-users] Downtime for Service Window (5th April 2011) - ALL TCHPC Clusters

[Paddy Doyle]

Dear all,

There will be a service downtime for all TCHPC clusters (Lonsdale, Parsons,
Tcin, Kelvin) on next Tuesday (5th April).

This downtime window will be used to add some additional inter-cluster cabling
to reduce possible network contention, and perform some server maintenance
tasks which involves un-mounting the shared filesystems (/home and /gscratch)
from all nodes.

We expect that service will resume on Wednesday morning.

Logins will not be available on the headnodes during this service window.

In the meantime, jobs can still be queued and will start up again once the
reservations are released and services are resumed.


Kind regards,
Paddy
