Please note one of the cooling units in Setonix has an issue which means that a number of CPU nodes are offline. HPE are working on the issue.
Thanks to all the staff involved over the last few days, especially the "Building guys". You are all rock stars.

Mandatory Annual testing of the Site Main Electrical ACB Switches and High Voltage equipment will be performed on the 10th February 2026.
Pawsey will shutdown all services housed in the Pawsey Centre starting at 11am on Monday 9th February 2026 in preparation for the mandatory testing.
Staff will commence returning services and performing routine maintenance activities on Wednesday, 11th February 2026.
Systems will return to service progressively throughout Wednesday 11th February and all services are expected to be returned to researchers by noon Thursday 12th February 2026.
Planned work for this window includes:
• Setonix will have it's /software filesystem replaced with an NFS based filesystem. A final synchronisation of the Lustre filesystem and NFS filesystem will be performed.
• The new visualisation software stack on the Setonix Remote Visualisation nodes will be made default.
• Banksia will have a ScoutAM upgrade.
• The tape libraries supporting Banksia will have a firmware update.
• Acacia Projects will conclude migration work off Puppet infrastructure.
• Patching of core Pawsey services will be undertaken.
The removal of the 2023.08, 2025.03, and 2024.05 software stacks that were previously scheduled for the February maintenance has been rescheduled to be removed in that order across the March, April, and May maintenances to allow researchers more time to migrate to the 2025.08 software stack.
