    Hi folks,
    
    here is the second warning. Dec 19th, do not expect any computing.
    This also affects those of us who use sdcc for mail services. As the
    mail says, the @bnl.gov domain stays up but if you have your mail
    forwarded to rcf.bnl.gov (like I do), your e-mail service will be
    interrupted
    
    Chris

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Rhic-rcf-l] SDCC-wide downtime on Tuesday, December 19th Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2023 12:34:02 -0500 From: SDCC Announcements <announce AT rcf.rhic.bnl.gov> Reply-To: Do Not Reply <announce AT rcf.rhic.bnl.gov> To: rcfstaff AT bnl.gov, atlas-project-adc-operations AT cern.ch, rhic-rcf-l AT lists.bnl.gov, sdcc_users-l AT lists.bnl.gov, usatlas-computing-l AT lists.bnl.gov, usatlas-users-l AT lists.bnl.gov, bnl-shared-tier3-l AT lists.bnl.gov



Summary:
On Tuesday, December 19th, from 6:30 am EST to 9 pm EST, network connectivity (both WAN and Campus) to and from the SDCC Facility and Science DMZ will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance.

Effective Time(s):
12/19/2023 6:30 am - 12/19/2023 9:00 pm

Group Responsible:
Network

Affected Area(s):
All SDCC services

Expected User Impact:
No access to SDCC services during downtime

Maintenance Type:
Planned Maintenance/Downtime



Description:
On Tuesday, December 19th, from 6:30 am EST to 9 pm EST, network connectivity (both WAN and Campus) to/from the SDCC Facility and Science DMZ will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance.

This event marks the final phase of the years-long migration of SDCC services from the old data center to the new one. We anticipate the full restoration of
network connectivity by 9 pm EST on December 19th, concluding the outage. During the intervention period, access to SDCC services, including computing
resources (both interactive and batch), storage services (disk and tape), and collaborative tools (such as BNLBox, RCF email, MatterMost, and web services), will not be available.

To prepare for this network outage, the scheduling of new HTCondor and Slurm batch jobs will cease on Friday, December 15th, at 11 pm EST. This pause will facilitate the smooth draining and graceful termination of ongoing computing jobs. In addition, access to storage and data transfer services will be temporarily halted on Monday, December 18th, at 5 pm EST.

This outage does not affect BNL mail service (@bnl.gov domain), which will be available during this period.

The SDCC will notify the community about the full restoration of services through its regular mailing lists.
