Resolved: Emergency DXUL/fortress maintenance Monday, August 25

August 25, 2008

Emergency hardware maintenance has been scheduled for the tape robot used by the DXUL/fortress archival storage system from 6:30am-noon on Monday, August 25. During this time, it will not be possible to retrieve files from the tape archive nor will it be possible for the DXUL system to migrate files from its disk cache into the tape library. RCAC storage engineers will monitor the disk cache and disable all DXUL access if the cache fills during this maintenance window. DXUL users are encouraged to keep their use of the system to a minimum during this period.

Update as of 9am Monday, August 25: The DXUL cache has filled, so DXUL access has been disabled until maintenance on the tape robot has been completed and migration of files from the disk cache into the tape library has resumed. The DXUL/fortress system is expected to be returned to service by 1pm.

Update as of 4:15pm Monday, August 25:  Maintenance on the tape robot used by the DXUL/fortress system has been completed and the system has been returned to service.
