$ARCHIVE is currently having some issues that are affecting performance and access to the filesystem. Due to this $ARCHIVE will need to be rebooted, and will be unavailable for some time. We will update with more information as it is known.
On May 19 and 20, 2018, the Butrovich Computing Facility Preventative Maintenance (BCF PM) will occur. During this time OIT and RCS will be performing preventative maintenance on systems and services.
Network to the Elvey building, WRRB 004 computer lab, and WRRB 001 server room may experience up to a 1-hour outage between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM on Sunday, May 20.
The following services will be unavailable for the duration of the maintenance period:
As of 4 PM, April 17, $ARCHIVE is undergoing an unplanned outage. The system should be restored to service by 7 PM.
RCS is currently investigating issues with the $ARCHIVE filesystem and it is currently offline. We will update users with further information as it becomes available.
Due to a circuit issue in WRRB 004, the Linux workstations are offline and unavailable. The following systems are affected:
We are currently investigating some issues with the $ARCHIVE filesystem based on reports by users. Direct logins to bigdipper to scp files and batch_stages are unavailable, and files in $ARCHIVE may be unavailable. We will update when more information is available.
Chinook is back online and available for use.
There was an unplanned power outage in the UAF Butro Data Center at roughly 4:15am this morning. Chinook is offline and the $CENTER1 filesystem is unavailable on the Linux Workstations. We are currently assessing when they will be operational again, and will distribute notifications as more information is available.
Due to a campus power outage on January 23rd RCS systems are currently offline, including Chinook, VMs hosting websites, and hosted storage. We are in the process of verifying that power is stable in the data center and will be working to bring RCS systems back online throughout the day.
Fish, Pacman, and $CENTER will be retired on December 29, 2017.
Users are encouraged to migrate to the new HPC cluster, Chinook. If you are the Principal Investigator of a project and want to have an account created on Chinook, please email uaf-rcs@alaska.edu with your request, your project ID, and the members you would like added to your project.
$ARCHIVE will be unavailable from 9 AM to 9 PM on Tuesday, January 9, 2018.
RCS will work with Principal Investigator’s (PI) whose $ARCHIVE data volumes exceed the 10 TB standard quota. RCS storage rates are available at http://gi.alaska.edu/research-computing-systems/service-rates.
