Dear users of cyclone and Ubuntu,

A large part of the data under /Data/ is being migrated to the central IT department storage place. To finish the migration, this Tursday between 9:00 and 15:00 paths below /Data/ won't be accessible all the time (or at least not writable).

Hereafter, on both the Ubuntu clients and on cyclone, all your files are still available under the regular /Data/gfi and /Data/skd paths you're used to. On Windows the new locations will be as follows: 

\\klient.uib.no\FELLES\MATNAT\GFI
\\klient.uib.no\FELLES\MATNAT\SKD

For your convenience, you can map each to a drive letter by following this HOWTO.

On the Wiki there is more detailed information on GFI & SKD Storage.

Feel free to contact us via hjelp.uib.no if you have any questions.

Update 28.05 : The data migration is finished and all Linux and Window paths with the new destinations should be accessible.

Best regards,

The IT department and the Scientific Computing Group

Dear Cyclone and Grunch Users,

Our machine room at Thormøhlensgate 55 will have power outage during Friday 17 April 15:00 to Sunday 19. April 24:00.

There will be planned work to do maintenance for power line in the building.
Because of that maintenance, we have to take down all our servers at 15:00 Friday 17. April and hopefully we will take all servers online before 08:00 Monday 20. April.

cyclone and grunch server will be taken down and will not be accessible during this time.

/shared/ filesystem which is exported via leo.hpc.uib.no to the university campus will not be accessible during this time.

We advice all users to plan their work in good time to avoid unnecessary problems.

Update20:30_19.04.2020: Our downtime is over, cyclone and grunch is back online. 
Please contact us via hjelp.uib.no if you have any further questions.

Best Regards

Scientific computing team.

During the last week, we have experienced a problem with leo.hpc.uib.no as our NFS server, it crashes due to Lustre bug triggered by NFS related unknown reason. After some debugging, we have made some changes to our Lustre configuration, which looks promising so far.

leo.hpc.uib.no has been running without a problem for the last 2 days. We will keep monitoring the system and will post here if anything else happens.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you encounter any problem regarding NFS and samba exports from Leo.hpc.uib.no


We apologize for the inconvenience.

Due to a GPFS file system hang on the fimm frontend, for a short period of time (hopefully 10-15 minutes), the frontend will not be available, all users need to log in again after this.

Update, 10:12: fimm frontend needs to be rebooted to clear the hang.
Update, 10:26: fimm frontend is now rebooted and up again.
