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

[Brad Sawatzky via Jlab-scicomp-briefs]

Dear SciComp Users,

Partial repairs to the Tape Library system have been completed and it
is back in intermittent operation. Two technicians have been on-site
and working the problem as of Monday. Some of the most significant
repairs have been completed but they have identified additional parts
that need replacement. Those parts are inbound.

This will, of course, continue to have an impact on jobs that have
tape dependencies.  Jobs with files in /cache already will continue,
and files submitted to tape will spool until the library can get to
them.

As before, where possible, please defer large 'manual' tape puts until
the system fully back online to stretch our buffer time.  We will post
to this list when that is the case.

Stay tuned,
-- Brad
