[Jlab-scicomp-briefs] JLab Mass Storage System outage May 12-14

[Sandy Philpott]

Hello Users,

The IBM tape library work is continuing into Friday morning after an all-nighter; the system should be back in service this morning if there are no more snags.

Thank you for your patience,
Sandy

Dear JLab Scientific Computing Users,

Jefferson Lab's Mass Storage System, including the IBM TS3500 tape library & associated JASMine software, will be unavailable Tuesday May 12 - Thursday May 14, while the tape library is reconfigured.  It will be moved to a temporary location in the F112 Data Center as part of the UIM upgrade, and will be consolidated from 14 to 9 frames, replacing 8 of its frames with 3 higher density ones.  Work is scheduled to last no more than 72 hours.

During this work, jput, jget, jmirror, and other /mss related commands and tape I/O will not be available. Please plan for this necessary outage.

Contact me, our IT User Services HelpDesk at helpdesk at jlab.org, 757-269-7155, or our group scicomp at jlab.org for any questions or assistance.
