Dear SCARF users,
Due to the delay in migration to the new machine room it is now necessary to perform important work on the main power transformers for the Atlas Centre this weekend. This work will involve powering down the two transformers in turn, during which time the entire Atlas Centre will be running from the other transformer.
To reduce the risk of this tripping the fuse on the transformer power is being cut to much of Atlas, but in order to reduce the risk still further we are powering down some of our hardware.
As a result, SCARF will be running a reduced number of nodes for all queues until Monday morning. The queues will remain open, and the remaining nodes will continue to process jobs, but please consider the service to be at risk over the weekend.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Duncan
