Disk-controller failure on hexagon, Sat 29. nov

One of the disk-controllers for hexagon has failed, forcing us to shutdown the machine. We are investigating possible workarounds.

Update Sat., 23:00, unfortunately no workaround was found, we are waiting for hardware replacement to arrive.

Update Mon., 14:30, we expect new hardware to arrive tomorrow (Tue).

Update Tue., 09:00, we have a workaround in place and have done the scheduled maintenance work that was planned for Thursday. The machine will have to be shutdown again when the replacement disk-controller arrives today, therefore only short jobs will be allowed and users should expect to be logged-out of the login nodes on short notice.

Update Tue., 14:15, controller arrives and we shutdown the machine and replace controller.

Update Tue., 16:00, we are currently running file-system check to be sure that all is OK.

Update Tue., 16:50, machine is running again, thank you for your patience.
