[Hpc-notice] POWER OUTAGE UPDATE: RCC administrative and storage services coming online; HPC remains offline

[Casey Mc Laughlin]

Hi RCC users,

The Sliger Building has been buzzing with activity for the past five days while a variety of vendors have working to get the data floor ready for operations.

Power is fully restored.  We are currently waiting for HVAC to be fully restored. We are hoping that happens within the next hour or two.

After that, we will begin bringing online RCC services. We anticipate that we can start bringing things up within the next few hours. We will focus on our administrative and storage services first, and then slowly bring online the 700+ hardware nodes that comprise the HPC.

Since there a still a lot of unknowns and the power is actively being worked while I am typing this message, we are still unsure of the exact timeline. However, we will send at least one more update out before 5pm, or when we get specific services online, whichever comes first.

We are not ready to pull CoLo customers off the generator yet. Mitch Gans will send a notice out about that when we are confident that the center is fully operational.

Thanks for your continued patience.

Best regards,
The RCC Team
