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. ...

Tape services should therefore be considered at reduced performance for now, but fully unavailable for most/all of next week. This affects Elastic Tape, JDMA, and Near-Line Archive (NLA) services. ...
