[Halld-offline] Fwd: [Jlab-scicomp-briefs] JLab Scientific Computing Maintenance Tuesday Dec 15

Note: you should have received this from Sandy Philpott already. If you 
are a member of the halld group and this is _not_ a repeat message for 
you, that violates my understanding that farm users are auto-subscribed.

I won't be forwarding these anymore, so please let me know if you think 
you should be getting messages directly from Sandy and are not.

JLab Scientific Computing Users,

The scientific computing environment will be unavailable 
during maintenance on Tuesday, December 15.

First on Tuesday morning, the farm computing environment will be stopped 
so that the scifs2 /work fileserver can be taken out of service, for 
troubleshooting recent ongoing fileserver issues. (Data currently on 
scifs2 is being relocated to other servers and will continue to be 
available after this server is removed).

Also, the interactive farm nodes ifarm1401 and ifarm1102 will be updated 
to QDR Infiniband, and ifarm1101 will be upgraded to CentOS 6.5.

In addition, the old Lustre 1.8 environment will be completely retired 
from service, and an old server sfsgw will be decommissioned.

Please plan for these necessary interruptions during the maintenance 
work on Tuesday.  Direct any questions or issues you have to 
philpott at jlab.org, 757-269-7152.

Regards,
Sandy Philpott

*IT Maintenance Day Set for Tuesday, Dec. 15, 5-10 p.m.*
The IT Division is planning a maintenance period for 5-10 p.m. on 
Tuesday, Dec. 15. During this maintenance period, all MIS applications 
will be unavailable while patches are installed and the systems are 
rebooted. All MIS applications should be back up and available by 10 
p.m. Also, all Common User Environment-managed web severs and login 
servers will be rebooted to finalize patch installations. A short 
incoming email outage will also occur while the email servers are 
updated. This email outage will be short and will last no more than 15 
minutes. All incoming email will be queued on remote servers and 
delivered when service is restored. Finally, Windows and Linux patches 
will be released to all CUE desktops. Plan on rebooting your desktop to 
finalize patch installation no later than Dec. 18. If you have any 
questions or concerns, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at 
helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155.
