Disk array /storage/praha1/ planned HW upgrade

23.1.2017 - Disk array /storage/praha1/ planned HW upgrade

Let us inform you that on Monday January 23 the Prague's /storage/praha1/ (storage-praha1.metacentrum.cz) will be moved to a new hardware and will be several hours unavailable during the final synchronization. Shared disk space at *:/scratch.shared, mounted from this storage, will not be available too.

Influence on the running jobs:

• The jobs that work with the data saved on (or will save data to) another disk array will not be influenced.
• The jobs that perform their computations within the scratch space, which check the success of copying-out the resulting data (e.g., using the script skeleton available at https://wiki.metacentrum.cz/wiki/Running_jobs_in_scheduler#Recommended_procedures), and which will try to save the resulting data into /storage/plzen1/, will not be influenced as well -- you'll find the resulting data in the scratch of the relevant nodes.
• Data of the jobs that work directly with the data saved in /storage/praha1/ (not recomanded) will be terminated.

With apologies for the inconvenience and with thanks for your understanding.

Ivana Krenkova,
MetaCentrum
