Hardware maintenance of storage front-end servers.
Update 23:50: we ran into severe problems and the migration took longer than expected. Everything is back online now. Sorry we're late.
Planned maintenance will be taking place on all shared-storage front-end servers on Thursday, August 6th, starting at 17:00. The service will be down for approximately 2-3 hours. This post will be updated as soon as work is completed, were we to finish earlier than expected. We will be upgrading the network switch and replacing hardware in several machines.
All group shares will be affected, i.e. group-data, IPA, IGP and Galaxy. Only the home and backup servers will be accessible during this time.
For emergency cases, there will be read-only access to last night’s backup as described here.
