Our vendor informed us that our replacement part for the Voltaire switch will not arrive until Friday, July 2. We will therefore reschedule our maintence window for Friday afternoon.  Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience.

Our attempts to revive the IB fabric across orcinus today resulted in more problems, we have lost the connection to the global file systems (home and scratch). We are in contact with HP support, but at the moment, orcinus is not available. The earliest time it will become available for users and job processing is Friday (July 2) afternoon. For the file access hep2.westgrid.ca can be used (scratch is the /global/scratch and home of orcinus is available via /global/home_orcinus)
