Openstack Infrastructure upgrade, Sep 29th and 30th

Scheduled for Sep 29, 19:00 NZDT - Oct 1, 19:00 NZDT

Scheduled

Our Openstack infrastructure, which backs Mahuika and associated services, is being upgraded by our third party support vendors, StackHPC. The upgrades will be implemented overnight commencing on the evening of Tuesday, Sep 29th, and continuing again overnight on Wed Sep 30th.
The Openstack dashboard, APIs, external network connections, and access to object storage may suffer brief (minutes) interruptions on both nights. Running Slurm jobs should be unaffected, but ssh connections to Mahuika may fail for brief periods.
