    • ​Start of cluster OS upgrades - July 7 -10

      • Audience: All cluster users

      • Impact: Over 4 days, July 7 through 10, we will upgrade the OS on 25% of the cluster each day. During that time, total capacity will be reduced across the cluster by 1/4 each day. This will require draining each sub-set of nodes ahead of time. 

    • Netscratch cleanup ( https://docs.rc.fas.harvard.edu/kb/policy-scratch/ )

Coldfront service disruption

holylabs - New data missing
RatkaistuHeikentynyt suorituskyky174 tuntia 18 minuuttia
  • RatkaistuUTC

    Allowed one week for the message to propagate. Closing this incident.

  • TunnistettuUTC

    While attempting to correct the over-quota/extra data issue on holylabs, an error in the sync command caused the deletion of newly created files since the re-open of the cluster (6/5/25 9AM) for 54 lab directories. We see no evidence that any other lab directories were affected.


    Due to the large nature of the original cleanup and the error being discovered after the fact, regretfully these deleted files cannot be recovered.

    A list follows of affected /n/holylabs lab directories. If your lab is not on that list, then it is not identified as being affected but this error:

    We are currently investigating an issue on holylabs where some labs have noticed newly created files are missing.

    We will update this incident with more info as soon as possible.

holylabs - over quota message or previously deleted files showing up
RatkaistuHeikentynyt suorituskyky

  • During the downtime holylabs was migrated to our new Vast filesystem. During this migration data was synced from from the old system to the new and then a final sync was done at powerup while the systems were not available for use by end users.

    We have since found an issue for some labs that will present itself in one of two ways (or both, for some):

    1 - You are able to use your holylabs lab directory but you notice files that were previously deleted

    2- You cannot use your holylabs lab directory because of over quota errors

    Our storage team is working to resolve this issue by temporarily suspending quotas on holylabs to prevent over-quota errors and also to remove the data that should not have remained after the final sync(s) so as to get lab directories back below quota.

    This work has already begun but will may take several days to complete. Updates will be posted here.

    There will be additional scheduled maintenance at MGHPCC between June 5th and 6th.

    As part of the work during the MGHPCC Outage, one of the Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) in Pod 7c will be replaced. This will allow for future expansion into this space.

    This work will run from Thursday Jun 5th until the evening of Friday June 6th. This means nodes whose names begin with holy7c02, 04, 06, 08, 10, 12 will not come back online after the outage and will remain down until this CDU update is complete.

    This impacts the following partitions. If you are using one of those partitions please use the public sapphire partition while your equipment is being serviced. These nodes will be returned to service once the CDU work is complete:

    The yearly power downtime at our Holyoke data center, MGHPCC, has been scheduled. 
    This year's power downtime will take place on Tuesday June 3, 2025. 

    This will require FASRC to begin shutdown of our systems beginning at 9AM on Monday, June 2nd.
    We have worked to reduce the total outage time this year.
    We will begin power-up on Wednesday June 4th with an expected return to full service by 9AM Thursday June 5th.

    • Monday June 2nd -  Power-down begins at 9AM

    • Tuesday June 3rd - Power out at MGHPCC

    • Wednesday June 4th - Maintenance tasks and then power-up begins

    • Thursday June 5th - Expected return to full service by 9AM

    Maintenance:
    During this downtime, Holylabs (/n/holylabs) will move to new hardware.
    Starfish, Coldfront, and the Portal will be unavailable during the downtime.

    For more details including a graphical timeline, please see: https://www.rc.fas.harvard.edu/events/2025-mghpcc-power-downtime/
