Comments provides additional information such as details about how the service will be affected and advice.
| Date | Outage | Comments |
|
22nd - 29th August 2012 |
Legion Data transfer node. |
Data Centre outage for maintenance work. Nodes of class W will be available for computational work. The service should be considered "at risk" for the duration. The data transfer node (login05) will be unavailable for the duration. |
|
28th September - 15th 2012 |
Legion unavailable |
Upgrade of parallel file system ( ~/Scratch ) There will be no access to Legion compute nodes or Scratch areas. |
|
23rd - 26th October 2012 |
Legion unavailable |
Re-configuration, testing and data replication to upgraded Scratch area (~/Scratch). Access to old Scratch data only |
|
UPDATE: continued through to the 30th of December |
Legion Partial outage Nodes of type X (CU's K L N O) |
Testing upgraded Scratch area. |
|
UPDATE: postponed to 30th November - 6th December |
Legion unavailable |
Data replication from old to upgraded Scratch area. Old Scratch available as read-only from login01. |
|
14th - 17th December 2012 |
Legion Data transfer node (login05). |
Data centre repairs. Cluster will have only nodes of type W available, which may lead to increased wait times. |
|
11th - 15th February 2013 |
