During the upgrade process, the servers will be unavailable for general logins, and will be rebooted multiple times. We anticipate that normal login service should be available by 9pm Friday evening.

NetApp Fileserver Maintenance, Saturday March 30, 2024

March 24, 2024 by Lars Rohrbach

We are scheduling a NetApp ONTAP upgrade, to update our NetApp fileserver, from 8am to 12pm on Saturday, March 30, 2024.

All Home directories and Project shares (CIFS/SMB and NFS) may experience disconnection during the update that may cause data loss on active, open files.  Please close your open files and save them before Saturday Morning. Services (e.g. webservice) that depend on this storage will also be temporarily down or unresponsive.

When maintenance is completed, NFS clients should automatically resume normal operation, but a reboot should help if they don’t. CIFS clients (such as Windows and MacOS) may need to remount filesystems, or simply be rebooted.
