Hi,
This evening there was a major power outage affecting YNiC. The Science Park and parts of the University were affected.
Most systems were taken down in a co-ordinated manner during the period which the UPSes provided power and we believe that most user-visible systems are now up and running again. It is possible, however, that some areas have been overlooked or that there may be lingering problems. Please let the DSO know if this is the case and they will bring it to the attention of the right staff to deal with it.
Any cluster jobs running at the time of the outage will be cleared and will need to be re-run. Please note that we do not intend to bring the cluster up again until tomorrow morning at the earliest and there may be some delay in getting the whole cluster running again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Mark
