<div>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:26px;margin:16px 0;font-weight:700;color:#0b4c91">Move into SOM-ED1 Data Center</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:26px;margin:16px 0;font-weight:700;color:#0b4c91">When</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">Monday, Mar 10 to Friday, Mar 14, 2025</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:26px;margin:16px 0;font-weight:700;color:#0b4c91">Description</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">The HPCC's long-awaited move to a <b>much larger and newly renovated server room</b> in the SOM-ED1 building is finally happening! This major improvement will unfortunately require about 5 days of downtime to move all HPCC systems to the new server room, and redeploy and test them. We apologize for the disruption this will cause to your research. This is a rare and unique event (once every 20+ years) that requires extensive organization and coordination between multiple parties and is a major logistical undertaking.</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:26px;margin:16px 0;font-weight:700;color:#0b4c91">Benefits</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">The relocation of the HPCC will result in considerably more rack space, electrical and cooling capacity, and more dependable system operation, allowing us to accommodate substantially more CPU/GPU computing resources and data storage now and in the future. These enhancements will translate to significant benefits for all users.</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:26px;margin:16px 0;font-weight:700;color:#0b4c91">Schedule: 8AM March 10th to afternoon of March 14th</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">Starting at 8AM on March 10th, users' access will be stopped, and we will begin shutting down all running jobs and services (see below). Any computing jobs that will still be running during the shutdown will need to be terminated by us. Users can restart or re-submit them after the move. Most compute services will be available again by the evening of March 14th.</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:26px;margin:16px 0;font-weight:700;color:#0b4c91">Services Impacted</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043"><b>All</b> services hosted by HPCC will be down during this period. This includes, but is not limited to:</p>
<ul style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">
<li style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">Cluster access (SSH, Slurm, data access), including HTTP access to user data.</li>
<li style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">All services provided by OnDemand: RStudio/Posit, MATLAB, Jupyter, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">Also, please note that normal email support (<a href="mailto:support@hpcc.ucr.edu" target="_blank">support@hpcc.ucr.edu</a>) will be interrupted, possibly until the end of the maintenance window (direct UCR email, listed below, will continue to work). During the move, HPCC's Slack workspace (<a href="https://ucr-hpcc.slack.com" target="_blank">https://ucr-hpcc.slack.com</a>) will be the main means of group communication with users. We strongly encourage users to become familiar with our Slack workspace ahead of the shutdown.</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin:16px 0;color:#3c4043">We will provide more information and additional reminders as the shutdown gets closer.</p>
