NIRD and NIRD Toolkit scheduled maintenance

Dear NIRD and NIRD Toolkit User,

We will have a three day long scheduled maintenance on NIRD and NIRD Toolkit starting on the 20th of January, 09:00 AM.

During the maintenance we will:

• carry out software and firmware updates,
• change geo-locality for some of the projects,
• replace synchronization mechanisms,
• depending on part delivery times from disk vendor – expand the storage and quotas.

Files stored on NIRD will be unavailable during the time of the maintenance and therefore so will be the services. This will of course affect the NIRD file systems available on Fram too.

Please note that backups taken from the Fram and Saga HPC clusters will also be affected and will be unavailable during this period.

Please accept out apologies for the inconvenience this downtime is causing.
