1/6/25 to 1/10/25 Maintenance Outage

There will be a complete outage of OIT provided Research Computing services from 1/6/25 to 1/10/25 for routine maintenance and patching.

Impacted services include: - Duke Compute Cluster, Open OnDemand, and associated services - All research virtual machines (VMs), including Research Toolkits RAPID VMs - Research computing resources (cluster and individual virtual machines) in the PN for Research (PNR), PRDN, and Protected Network - PACE GPU VMs (OIT provided CPU and GPU Resources) - FAST Storage Resources (/cwork, CephFS, and Duke Data Attic)

Additional changes: - End of Support researcher purchased hardware retirements will be completed before the maintenance window. Impacted owners can view the list of impacted hardware in Research Toolkits - Datacommons storage archive volumes will no longer be mounted directly on DCC compute nodes, this is to help optimize our storage platform. Impacted users will receive a more detailed set of information.

A more detailed schedule of impacts and reminder will be sent in December. Email Oitresearchsupport@duke.edu with questions.
