Supercomputer/OURdisk scheduled maintenance outage

Wed Sep 4, 8am-midnight Central Time

OSCER will hold a scheduled maintenance outage

for the supercomputer and OURdisk, specifically:

* Update the operating system to Enterprise Linux (EL)

version 9.4 on one of our /home diskfull servers.

* Replace OSCER's old internal database with a

new, better database.

* Reboot OURdisk's metadata server (MDS), to

establish a new set of connections to the compute nodes

and other clients, and to verify MDS backup failover.

* Upgrade the 4PP data center's power infrastructure to

accommodate more GPU nodes and compute nodes.

* Upgrade network connectivity on one of our storage nodes.

our goal is to make OSCER capabilities even better!
