LSST monthly maintenance

NCSA
  • This outage will be for rack, PDU, and networking upgrades for the LSSTdev environment housed in NCSA 3003.

  • Any remaining NFS filesystems will be permanently unmount

All LSST-dev resources:

  • lsst-dev01
  • lsst-db
  • lsst-xfer
  • lsst-web (lsst7)
  • lsst-dts
  • lsst-dbdev environment

LSST monthly maintenance

NCSA
  • Kernel upgrades and reboots in the LSST dev environment
  • Permanently unmount the old NFS home filesystem. This completes the decommissioning of the NFS home filesystem.
  • Install of Unbound local caching resolver software as recommended by NCSA Security
  • Remount of remaining NFS exports in read-only mode. Users should migrate any old data off of NFS in preparation for the final NFS decommissioning. NFS is expected to be turned off entirely on July 20, 2017.
  • Upgrade to latest MySQL 5.5.56 on lsst-db.ncsa.illinois.edu.

Unplanned

lsst-dev file systems full

NCSA

lsst-dev

lsst-dev filesystems / and /home filled up at approximately 09:30. This was a result of inode usage from another process

The admins freed up inodes to make the filesystem responsive again.

Admins are currently tracking down the root cause.

Nebula outage

glusterfs crashed due to this bug, so no instances could access their filesystemsAll instances running on NebulaNeeded to reboot the node that systems were mounting from, but took the opportunity to upgrade all gluster clients on other systems while waiting for a reboot. Version 3.10.1 fixes the bug. All instances with errors in their logs were restarted.

lsst-dev login node down

NCSA

Users unable to log in to lsst-dev.

Probable cause is that the root file system filled up due to excessive logging

Fixed

Due to maintenance of cooling infrastructure at NPCF, Blue Waters will down during this period. Cray will also take this maintenance window to perform some system updates at the same time.

Systems that will be down

  • Slurm cluster compute nodes will be powered down for the duration of the outage.

Systems that will remain up

Qserv nodes ( lsst-qserv-* ), SUI nodes ( lsst-sui-* ), Bastion node ( lsst-bastion01 ) should remain online during the outage.  

However, if temperatures in the NPCF rise too high, we will be forced to shut these down as well. I've been told that this is a low-probability scenario and we will be given time to do graceful shutdowns. In the unlikely event that this happens, it will be communicated through the DM Slack channel and also posted here.
