Fileserver maintenance 30th Jan

January 30, 2018 by Pathma Venasithamby

Due to the power failures on 20th Dec, the department fileservice has suffered some damage, and there is a non functional management interface. This needs to be repaired or replaced. This should *not* be disruptive to users, as per Netapp. But it does involves reseating or replacing a motherboard on one of the nodes, so please be forewarned that one of the clusters will not be running in HA mode during the replacement.

The system has been reconfigured to allow more open files, and all queued email messages have now been delivered.
