Firmware update of Lustre storage and repair works on jess and gorm.
On Tuesday August 22 starting at 9:00 we will carry out some essential maintenance on our storage system and compute servers. In particular, we will
- update the firmware of our DDN storage system, which is estimated by DDN to require 6 hours,
- update the firmware on the head node of jess and
- carry out extensive maintenance to address electro-mechanical failures that occurred more frequently in the past 3 months.
We will keep the downtime to a minimum.
As long as the servers are up, you can submit jobs. Jobs that would overlap with the service window will be postponed until we are finished. This is taken care of by the job scheduler and users do not need to take special precautions when submitting jobs.
