CSCS Scheduled Maintenance – Wednesday August 8th, 2012: ONLY on ela, julier, eiger and rothorn

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

Today is the regular scheduled maintenance day for CSCS systems. However this is going to be a very short intervention and the only systems affected will be:

* Front-end system:

Ela: 07:00 – 08:00 AM the system will not be available

* SGI Altix UV:

Rothorn: 07:00 – 08:00 AM

* Viz and post-processing:

Piz Julier:  07:00 – 08:00 AM

Eiger:  08:00 – 10:00 AM SW upgrade

Please be aware that eiger and julier will have a new scratch file system after the maintenance. The old scratch filesystem will be available read-only to give you the opportunity to transfer important data to the new /scratch until the next maintenance on September 5th.

NO MAINTENANCE is scheduled on   Monte Rosa, Tödi, Matterhorn, Castor/Pollux, /store, /home,  /apps,  /project, and network

 

 

Today “Monte Rosa” begins the journey to its new location

Monday, March 26th, 2012

Today at 7.30 AM “Monte Rosa” has been shut down. The last calculations to ever be run in Manno just finished!!

The Cray experts are going to disassemble the system, pack it and move it in the next couple of days to the new CSCS in Lugano.  The system is expected to be back in service on April 11, 2012.

Together with “Monte Rosa”, also “Piz Julier“, the IBM x3850, and “Eiger“, the DALCO visualization cluster, were shut down and will be moved downtown Lugano.

During the morning all CSCS systems will not be accessible in between 9.30 and 12:00, and some further short interruptions of the services will be experienced in the afternoon as well.
