20200214 / New E5N scratch

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).
