Re : Changes at YNiC
by Gary Green 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Dear Users As you are aware YNiC has been closed for the last fortnight as we upgraded and replaced much of our IT infrastructure. Whereas previous changes have hopefully been relatively transparent, the replacement of the open plan analysis workstations is not something you'll be likely to miss. We're confident that the new systems will allow a greater flexibility in the neuroimaging analysis you do, but if you have any problems finding your way round the new machines there are some pointers on the docwiki to get you started. The page can be found at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/TransitionDocumentation Whilst we think the changeover has gone pretty smoothly, there are still one or two jobs we need to finish off before YNiC is back in full operating mode. These mainly concern internal procedures but we are also rigorously testing as many stages of the analysis pipeline as possible. The new machines and software offer very many new opportunities. This is exciting but also means that even more testing of software is required before we are confident of making the new tools fully available. Some of you will be consulted in the process of this testing as your experience, skills and datasets are likely to help perform tests. You will already see that a much wider range of applications is now available as we have moved to using Linux as the operating system. The main effort over the last few months has been to ensure that all the standard previous applications are available to Users. The next steps will be to provide new facilities that have been on the wish-list. We are currently working to increase the available amount of disk space, which is getting rather low. Some of you may get an email over the next day or two about archiving some of your data. We really need your help as disc space is becoming quite a problem. We now store some 9.5Terabytes of user data. The main projects quite correctly use the 'scratch' space for results. Usage is currently at a level of 3.9Terabytes or 98% of the available space! We are having to take urgent action to free up space as otherwise no one will be able to carry out any analyses. In fact until we do this we cannot support beamforming or FSL, so we are working on this as a matter of urgency. As part of this process some files are being converted to a format which will take up much less space, and to do this we are using the cluster, so for the time being it is unavailable for either MRI or MEG job submission. We will announce when the cluster is available again for general use. Further emails will follow to keep you informed on progress. I would like to publicly thank the YNiC staff for the extra effort that has gone into making the IT upgrade a success. Particular thanks must go to Mark Hymers and Sam Johnson for the remarkable amount of time and effort that they have put into making the IT changeover possible.

YNiC Closure
by Sam Johnson 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello all, As you are hopefully already aware YNiC is closing as of 5 p.m. this Friday, the 21st, for two weeks. This is just a reminder that between the evening of the 21st and 9 a.m. on the 7th of September, YNiC will effectively be shut down whilst we make some fairly major changes to the IT infrastructure, not the least of which is the replacement of the computers in open plan. Hopefully this will be a smooth process for everyone using the center, and will provide a greater range of software and analysis tools. Unlike previous closures where most of the changes have been behind the scenes, this year you will definitely notice the difference as both the hardware and operating systems will be changing. While this will inevitably take a little bit of getting used to, there will be change over documentation, and the new systems will provide a much more flexible environment for your analysis. There will be one or two interruptions to the YNiC website, notably for a couple of hours on the evenings of the 21st and 24th. Any other interruptions should be very brief. A seperate notice will be sent out by Paul regarding the psychology mail server. Thanks, -- Sam Johnson York NeuroImaging Centre http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

YNiC power off
by Mark Hymers 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Dear all, As you may know, due to complications with the availability of parts, the planned power-down at the Biocentre last month did not occur. Due to this, on Wednesday 29th July at 6pm, the power to the Biocentre will be temporarily cut off. We will therefore have to shut down all YNiC services including the desktops, cluster, servers, web servers and so on. YNiC will therefore close at 1700 to allow staff time to shut all services down in a clean manner. We also suggest that people refrain from submitting jobs to the cluster on Wednesday afternoon as any which are on the cluster when we have to shutdown will be cancelled. We anticipate that power will return at about 9pm. A seperate notice will be sent out by Paul regarding the psychology mail server. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Cancellation of electrical work
by Mark Hymers 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Dear all, The electrical work at the Biocentre has been cancelled due to the relevant part not arriving in time. This means that neither psycmail.york.ac.uk or the YNiC systems will be down this evening but that there will be an outage in the future (the timing is yet to be decided and will be sent around as soon as possible). Sorry about the late change, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Building work at YNiC
by am501＠psych.york.ac.uk 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hello All, Some minor building work will be undertaken at YniC from tomorrow onwards. We are having the work done to configure the centre appropriately for the IT upgrades in August. We have been assured that it will not be disruptive, but it is possible that some unforeseen disturbance may occur. I am sorry if you are affected by the work, which should be completed over the next two weeks. Tony
