We will be applying vendor-recommended updates to the Phoenix Project storage devices (the coda1 filesystem) beginning next Monday, July 14. The update is intended to address some of the slowness and temporary outages we have been experiencing recently. There may be performance impact during the update as we work through the individual metadata and object storage servers in a rolling fashion, but ideally there will be no loss of access. We have performed this type of upgrade in the past without loss of access. This will not impact Phoenix scratch or VAST storage.
In the event of an interruption in storage access, we will refund all failed jobs, of course!
For any questions, please contact PACE at pace-support@oit.gatech.edu.
