[CSBi-HPC] CSBI IBM cluster downtime next Monday morning

[Al Davis]

I'd like to schedule a short duration (< 1hr) downtime for the whitehead half of 
the CSBi IBM cluster for next Monday morning from 10-11.  We need to upgrade the 
NetApp file server which has everyone's home directory on it and thus you won't 
be able to access any of your files during that time.

We're working with the MIT IS&T group to use their large automatic tape systems 
for archival backup of the data on all the CSBi/BioMicro file storage systems. 
When operational, this will give us much better backup and recovery of files if 
they're ever deleted from the disk drives.

This will only affect users who have their home directories on the Whitehead 
cluster and should not affect any user whose home directory is on the CSAIL cluster.

If anyone has a critical job that they need to run then, let me know asap so we 
can reschedule?

thanks, al
