Status and Service Updates

Savio IDM will undergo brief maintenance on Mon., 10/6 and Wed., 10/8

The Identity Management Team has planned maintenance this week on Monday, 6th October, and Wednesday, 8th October, from 4 pm to 7 pm. A brief interruption to identity services, particularly those related to Shibboleth, Grouper, identity linking, password reset, group creation, and RADIUS, is expected. Savio/Vector users may experience delays when logging in to the terminal and the OOD web portal during the maintenance window. We will keep you updated on the status if anything changes.

The Savio Scratch File System is back online and accessible: Wed, 9/10

The Savio Scratch file system is back to normal. Access to Scratch via SSH, Globus, and Open OnDemand will continue to work as usual for all users. Please test it on your end and let us know if you see any problems. We are thankful for your patience and support. As part of best practices, we again urge users to regularly back up their files from scratch to permanent storage discs and avoid storing large numbers of small files on scratch for extended periods.

The Savio Scratch File System is Currently Down (Wed, 9/10)

The Savio /global/scratch parallel file system has been down since this morning due to an unforeseen problem. The investigation is underway. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated on the investigation's status.
