Complete

The work is now complete. Thanks for your patience.

The interruption lasted slightly longer than usual but all services should be back up now. We do not anticipate any further interruption to service.

There have been some unexpected delays while updating the first server, so the work may overrun. The brief interruption to service should still occur during the at risk period (i.e. before 9am).

Underway

The work is underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

Scheduled

We will be updating the /cluster backend fileservers to the latest version of Spectrum Scale (5.1.1.0). There will be a brief interruption to both the samba and nfs services as the new software takes over from the old.

Began at:

Affected components
  • High Performance Compute (HPC) Cluster
  • Storage and files
    • Research File Store (RFS)
