Update
Maintenance on Nimbus compute nodes has now completed. If you have shut your own instances down in advance of today, you can now start them back up. If your instance(s) were restarted today, please make sure that your attached data volumes are re-mounted at the OS level (refer to https://support.pawsey.org.au/documentation/display/US/Manage+a+Data+Volume#ManageaDataVolume-Re-mounttheDataVolumeAfteraReboot for details).

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

Update
Acacia (Projects) and Acacia (Ingest) are both available for use. Please note that Acacia (Ingest) is performing some storage rebalacing to compensate for failed hardware so performance may be reduced. Nimbus is close to being restored and Setonix is having testing performed which has idenitfied a couple of minor issues. ASKAP Ingest has also bee returned to service.

Scheduled
Mandatory Annual testing of the Site Main Electrical ACB Switches and High Voltage equipment will be performed on the 23rd January 2024.

Pawsey will shutdown all services housed in the Pawsey Centre starting at 12 PM on the 22nd January 2024. 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.

Please note that the "Astro" filesystem (which is currently at risk) will not be brought back online.
