Scheduled maintenance outage Tue Nov 26 6am through midnight

Central Time

This will affect the supercomputer, but not OURdisk, OURcloud,

and OURRstore.

Planned maintenance tasks:

OU Facilities Management will be performing a reconfiguration

of the power systems that feed electricity to the rows

inside of the Four Partners Place Datacenter. This work is

expected to take all of Tuesday next week. As such we are

scheduling a downtime of our systems to accommodate the

electricians to complete the work described.

The work for the project "16-25 4PP Computing Center Busbar

Feed reconfiguration" allows us to better distribute the

electrical load across the full breadth of the datacenter's

power distribution panels. This gives OSCER the ability to

have even more evenly distributed power utilization, which

gives us more available power per rack of servers.

We expect the work to start by 7am Central Time on Tuesday.

Also, we expect the work to be finished by 11:59pm Central

Time on Tuesday, that same day.

We also need to change the location of /scratch for some

users. The change will be seamless, since the files will be

pre-copied to their new location. The new location will have

expanded /scratch filesystem capacity, but the two week rule

is still in place.

As always, we apologize for the inconvenience -- our goal

is to make OSCER resources even better!
