Dear Franklin Users, Franklin maintenance has been completed and Franklin is now available. The major activities completed were High Speed Network configuration changes and relocation of server hardware to reduce congestion and increase stability. Work was also done to prepare for the March 31 scratch reconfiguration. Please note that the next scheduled maintenance for Franklin will start Tuesday, March 31, at 7 AM Pacific Time. This outage is expected to last between 24 and 30 hours; we expect Franklin to be available by early afternoon of Wednesday, April 1 Pacific Time. System status and maintenance progress can be monitored at: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/status/motd.php During the March 31 outage the scratch file system will be reformatted and a new /scratch2 will be added. NO FILES WILL BE SAVED. Both scratch file systems /scratch and /scratch2 will have the same peak bandwidth (~12 GB/sec) and storage (~200 TB). Details are at: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/systems/franklin/IO_upgrade.php. As always, please contact NERSC consulting if you have any questions or experience any problems. 1-800-66-NERSC, menu option 3, 8 am - 5 pm, Pacific time (510) 486-8600, menu option 3, 8 am - 5 pm, Pacific time consult@nersc.gov http://help.nersc.gov/ -- Francesca Verdier email: fverdier@lbl.gov Department Head, NERSC Services phone: 510-486-7193 _______________________________________________ franklin-users mailing list franklin-users@nersc.gov
