[Moller] [Jlab-scicomp-briefs] Tape system downtime -- awaiting repairs

[Brad Sawatzky via Jlab-scicomp-briefs]

Dear SciComp Users,

We wanted to let you know that the Tape Library is currently
experiencing mechanical issues and requires service.  The support
vendor has been on-site and we are awaiting parts.  Given the
proximity to the weekend, there is a good chance that repairs will
not be completed until early next week.

In the interim tape operations may be slowed or halted.  This will, of
course, have an impact on jobs that have tape dependencies.  Jobs with
files in /cache already will continue, and files submitted to tape
will continue to spool for the time being.

If possible, please defer 'manual' tape puts until next week to
stretch our buffer-time.

We will post to this list when the system is fully back online.

Stay tuned,
-- Brad
