Fwd: Brief Power Test Tomorrow in Wean, NSH and Smith

[Edward Walter]

Hi Everyone,

There will be a brief power outage that affects part of the SCS machine
room in Wean Hall on Wednesday morning between 6 and 7AM.

This outage will affect the compute nodes in the warp cluster. You can
expect all of them to reboot during this window. Any actively running
jobs will fail as a result.

This will not affect the warp head node or any of the storage servers.

We will get things back online following the outage Wednesday morning
and will address any problems throughout the day.

Thank you.

SCS Folks,
This test of one of CMU's main Duquense Light power feeds should
only produce a brief spike. However, if the mechanism being tested
fails, this may result in as long as a 15-minute power outage in Wean,
NSH and Smith between 6 and 7 a.m. tomorrow. So if you have sensitive
equipment or are simply a strong believer in Murphy's Law, you may
want to shut down your systems when you leave campus later today.
