OSCER users, REMINDER: Scheduled maintenance outage Tue Dec 10 6am through midnight Central Time The Nov 26 outage reconfigured Side A; the Dec 10 outage will reconfigure Side B. This will affect the supercomputer, but not OURdisk, OURcloud, nor OURRstore. Planned maintenance tasks: OU Facilities Management will be finishing the 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. Time permitting, we'll also move a subset of scratch users from older scratch server(s) to a new larger scratch system. The user data will be copied to the new scratch system in advance, so the transition is expected to be smooth. As always, we apologize for the inconvenience -- our goal is to make OSCER resources even better!
