[Chtc-users] CHTC Compute Cluster Downtime Thurs 3/18

[Todd Tannenbaum <tannenba@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear CHTC Users -

In order to add more compute servers to our campus computing grid, we 
will need to shutdown the compute machines in one of our campus data 
centers (rm B240 Computer Sciences) this coming Thurs 3/18 for several 
hours.  Therefore, the overall computing capacity of the CHTC will be 
significantly diminished on this day.
This shutdown is required so campus steamfitters can add additional 
chilled water capacity to the room, increasing our capacity to cool more 
racks of servers --- and thereby allow us to offer the campus more 
compute nodes for your science.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if the timing of this 
upgrade will present a serious problem.
Thank you and best regards,
Todd
