• Blue Waters Near-line Storage Maintenance Jan 23-25

  Created by: jenos 2019-01-09 16:59:42 (Channels: scheduledoutages)

  The Blue Waters Nearline storage system will undergo maintenance starting on Wednesday, January 23th, possibly extending a service outage through January 25th. The system will be undergoing a significant software and hardware update that is expected to enhance performance and function. All other Blue Waters subsystems, as summarized below, will remain operational and uninterrupted. Another notification will be issued as the date approaches. It is expected to return to service earlier than the projected three day extent, but we advise to plan for the three day outage just in case. It is also advised to plan ahead for needed transfers, so do not wait until right before the maintenance window to initiate them and maintain awareness of your online storage quota.

  Note: This maintenance notice is unrelated to today's power outage event.
