OSCER users,
REMINDER:
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!
If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at:
