Murphy's law:

• r730data6, which serve home for phys, psmn, cbp… and Xnfs for physic's groups, has crashed around noon.

EDIT: back online.

• r720data4 (craldb, phoenix) is in read-only mode for craldb data (too many disks with errors)

• r730data7, which serve bio's data has crashed too. EDIT: back online.

In the context of global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic situation, and specific french containment, here's some informations:

• Most of PSMN Staff is working from home, as you probably are,

• Many maintenance operations are slowed down if not canceled,

• Training courses are canceled, for now,

• Please report as soon as possible any issue, by using our forms, and be patient:

• The /scratch/E5 is in read-only mode, before extinction. It will be turned off (and erased) on 18/03/2020 morning.

• At last, /scratch/Lake, on Lake cluster is online.

Un rebuild est en cours sur les volumes de bio (CIRI, IGFL, LBMC et RDP). Il pourrait y avoir des problèmes d'accès temporaires aux données sur les homes et les volumes partagés (/Xnfs).

A new scratch (/scratch/E5N/) on E5 cluster, is available for production. It will replace the current /scratch/E5.

Here is the planning for its implementation and stopping of the old scratch:

• 13th of February 2020: Production start of /scratch/E5N/,

• 11th of March 2020: Access will be switched to read-only on /scratch/E5, meaning:
  • Can read or copy to another location,
  • Cannot write new files or delete existing ones.

• 18th of March 2020: Final stop of /scratch/E5.

Hardware components will be recondition and reassign to other specific services provided by the PSMN (dedicated projects volumes, for example).
