Update - We have resolved most of the instability between Mediaflux and the tape storage system. Some minor issues remain which we are continuing to monitor and work on.
Dec 18, 2024 - 13:39 AWST
Update - Work continues with two Vendors to get this resolved. We will be making and testing some recommended steps today to see if this can be completely resolved.

Pawsey HV Shutdown Feb 3, 2025 12:00 - Feb 6, 2025 12:00 AWST
Mandatory Annual testing of the Site Main Electrical ACB Switches and High Voltage equipment will be performed on the 4th February 2025.

Pawsey will shutdown all services housed in the Pawsey Centre starting at 12 PM on the 3rd February 2025. This is to preserve the integrity of the data in our storage system and reduce the risk of damage to equipment.

During this time all Pawsey Supercomputing Centre services will be unavailable.

We will start returning services as soon as we get the all clear from CBIS, starting on Wednesday, 5th February 2025.

Past Incidents

No incidents reported today.

Jan 14, 2025
Resolved - This incident has been resolved.
Jan 14, 14:47 AWST
Monitoring - Due to a minor internal leak in a valve in the fire protection system last night, the fire alarm was triggered at Pawsey. As standard procedure, the local fire brigade attended as well as CBIS staff.

Due to the diligence of CBIS staff, the false alarm has had no impact to Pawsey operations (other than preemptively draining Setonix's queue).

Pawsey staff will check systems this morning as part of standard operating procedures.

Pawsey would like to thank CBIS staff for their efforts last night.

Jan 14, 06:05 AWST
Investigating - There has been an incident at Pawsey. CSIRO Building Services are investigating and as a precaution a reservation has been place on Setonix to drain the queues.

We are monitoring the situation and will provide an update tomorrow morning at the latest.
