Our Winter maintenance will occur on January 5th, from 8am - 5pm. This will be an all-day event and will require that jobs will be suspended for the duration and scratch (holyscratch01) will be offline for updates.

Storage firmware will also be updated that day, potentially in both data centers, so short storage interruptions may occur.

This is one of the two times each year we can plan maintenance around our Boston data center and also make changes that involve maintaining, modifying, or adding to the water-cooling system in MGHPCC.

Tasks will include:
- Water cooling maintenance in MGHPCC row 7-C
- Slurm 21.08.5 Upgrade (jobs paused during maintenance)
- Firmware upgrades
- Scratch (holyscratch01) maintenance (offline during maintenance)
- Login and VDI node reboots
- Scratch 90-day retention cleanup
