Resolved - This outage is closed, Lib2 is back in usual operation. Thankyou.
Aug 7, 08:33 AWST
Investigating - The Banksia service is currently in a degraded, “at risk” state as it is operating with only one tape library instead of the standard two. As a result, the alternate copy of files on tape will be unavailable for staging or archiving until Library 2 is restored to service. The primary copy is still available for all data so this should not impact the Banksia offline files service. If you experience any issues accessing data please let us know at help@pawsey.org.au

Scheduled - HPE will be upgrading the management plane for Setonix which requires a multiple day outage.

HPE will commence by backing up internal services starting Monday, August 3rd at 5 PM.

HPE will then perform the upgrade over Tuesday and Wednesday, handing back Setonix to Pawsey sometime on Thursday, August 6th.

Pawsey plans to return Setonix to service by 5PM, Thursday, August 6th (or sooner).

Please note the scientific software stack will be unchanged and default Cray Programming Environment will remain the same.

If you have any questions, please contact help@pawsey.org.au.

This is to allow HPE to upgrade the E1000 which provides the ASKAP ingest filesystem to be upgraded to the latest supported version of NEO.
