CHESS Data Archive and Rotation

The second full CHESS archive and data rotation is underway. As a result, the main DAQ and MAIA filesystems are currently read-only and being copied to tape. We hope to have the filesystems ready for the 2016-2 cycle by the end of the week.

As part of the rotation, DAQ/2015-1, DAQ/2015-3, and MAIA/2015-3 will be removed from disk and replaced with a directory listing. If you would like any of this data to remain on disk, or would ever like to restore any data from our backups, please email service-classe@cornell.edu.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
