[Chtc-users] submit-1.chtc.wisc.edu is down

[Todd Tannenbaum <tannenba@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

On July 4th the general-purpose CHTC submit node
   submit-1.chtc.wisc.edu
suffered a hard drive failure.  As this machine uses RAID (redundant 
disk arrays), any one hard drive failure is not a problem. 
Unfortunately, while submit-1 was in the process of automatically 
recovering from the failed hard drive, a second hard drive failed. 
Having two hard drives fail within five minutes of each other is not a 
level of redundancy that submit-1 was designed to tolerate.
As a result, submit-1.chtc is currently unavailable and will likely 
remain unavailable for the bulk of today. We are currently working on 
it, and will send out further news as it develops this afternoon.  It is 
too early to say how much data stored on submit-1 is salvageable.
Groups that submit jobs from a server other than submit-1.chtc should 
not be impacted.
Thank you for your patience,
UW CHTC Staff
