<b>Subject: </b>[Jlab-scicomp-briefs] Tape system downtime -- awaiting repairs<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 11pt;">Dear SciComp Users,<br>
<br>
We wanted to let you know that the Tape Library is currently<br>
experiencing mechanical issues and requires service. The support<br>
vendor has been on-site and we are awaiting parts. Given the<br>
proximity to the weekend, there is a good chance that repairs will<br>
not be completed until early next week.<br>
<br>
In the interim tape operations may be slowed or halted. This will, of<br>
course, have an impact on jobs that have tape dependencies. Jobs with<br>
files in /cache already will continue, and files submitted to tape<br>
will continue to spool for the time being.<br>
<br>
If possible, please defer 'manual' tape puts until next week to<br>
stretch our buffer-time.<br>
<br>
We will post to this list when the system is fully back online.<br>
<br>
Stay tuned,<br>
-- Brad<br>
