Scheduled Downtime Wednesday 16/08 to Friday 18/08 Wednesday 16th August 2023 00:00:00


Hello,

Our yearly downtime is scheduled this year from Wednesday 16/08 to Friday 18/08. While we plan 3 days of downtime, we hope to finish everything in a shorter time.

On Wednesday 16/08 midnight, we will stop all jobs, and cut access to all of T2B cluster facilities (mX, batch system, /pnfs, /user). For your information, the main tasks we will perform is to upgrade /pnfs to its latest version, and migrate /user to a new storage system.

All websites should not be affected, besides maybe very short (5-15min) reboots after OS updates.

We will inform you when the downtime will finish.

Cheers The IT Team

Please note that the /user storage migration implies that /storage_mnt/storage/user/ has migrated to /ada_mnt/ada/user/.

Hello,

Downtime is officially finished.

Here are the main changes:

  • update of all machines
  • /pnfs dCache version upgrade
  • /user migration to new storage solution

If you see any issues or have questions, please contact us.

Cheers The T2B IT Team
