September maintenance window closed

The September maintenance window will start at 09:00 CEST on September 1.

The UPPMAX Cloud will be offline for 24-48 hours as we work on the block storage network. These changes will make the UPPMAX Cloud more resilient to failures, offer higher performance, and will make it easier to maintain storage upgrades in the future.

Any disturbances on the accessible systems while the service window remains open should be assumed as related to the service window. Please hold contacting the support until the service is announced completed. If the problems remain after the service window has been closed you are of course welcome to contact the support at support@uppmax.uu.se.

You can follow our progress on this page throughout the day.

All login nodes have now been updated. Compute nodes will continously drain and update in the background. The remaining maintenance on Bianca should go unnoticed. Work on the UPPMAX Cloud continues.

Update 2021-09-01 15:00

Login nodes for Rackham and Snowy will be rebooted 15:40. Login nodes for Irma will be rebooted at 16:00. All compute nodes have rolling updates. The remaining maintenance on Bianca should not affect users. The maintenance on the UPPMAX cloud has been delayed due to the evacuation of Ångström lab due to gas leak (link).
