The compute nodes on the Aquila HPC system will be powered down on 30th September 2015, the process starts at midday. As well as powering down the compute nodes, we will also be disabling the scheduler system and turning off the Infiniband switch.
With regards to storage of files and data on Aquila, there is currently 15TBs of used space in the /home area and 13TBs used under the /fhgfs area. We would like to remind everyone to clean up files/data which are no longer needed on Aquila and if there are any data you would like to preserve to transfer them off Aquila.
We are still waiting to receive the replacement power supply from ClusterVision, which will allow us to restore the /data storage area. Once we have been able to attempt the recovery of this storage area we will then make plans to turn off the all Aquila storage areas.
