The CEDA Data Catalogue service ( https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk ) will be briefly off line at 3pm today to allow a number of updates to the service to be rolled out. This may lead to a period of time in which the catalogue search needs to be rebuilt to help refine the search service. The main user improvement will be with the search interface with increased search options and better search results and the ability to search within related records. Additionally, the Dataset records will, in most cases, be additionally augmented with project funder and PI information where available on attached Project records to provide a richer set of metadata for each dataset. Dataset total number of files and volume details will also be displayed on dataset records for all CEDA hosted content. ...

Dear users, Maintenance work is still in progress today. Parallel File System (PFS) Storage A second phase of the upgrade is now likely to be postponed to another date. PFS storage is running, but at reduced performance. This affects some CEDA Archive services, group workspaces with /gws/pw/j07 paths, /work/xfc and /work/scratch-pw[2,3] volumes The old /work/scratch-pw volume should no longer be used and will be physically removed shortly. LOTUS batch processing cluster: a reservation will remain in place until later today. An announcement will be made when this is lifted. In summary: while many systems are back in operation, there is more work to be completed so in order to avoid disruption to their work, users are advised to avoid resuming work on the system until further notice. ...
