Regular maintenance is performed on all BRCF PODs monthly, generally on the last Thursday of every month (although the schedule is adjusted for Holiday periods)a Tuesday in the 2nd half of the month. The standard window is 8 am - 6 pm, but is often shorter than than and can occasionally be extended if issues are encountered. Email notifications are sent out a week prior to each maintenance and the day of.
Access to POD servers is unavailable during maintenance, and any running jobs will be terminated. This is because regular maintenance includes applying OS updates and may also include configuring, upgrading or replacing various hardware components, both of which require restarting POD servers.
Please make plans for any long-running compute jobs based on this maintenance schedule. If, however, you have an urgent need to complete work that conflicts with regular maintenance, please Contact Us, and we will try to adjust maintenance for your POD accordingly, if possible
Our Team
Our small but mighty team consists of staff from the Center for Biomedical Research Support (CBRS), home of the BRCF core facility, as well as systems administrators from the College of Natural Sciences Office of Information Technology (CNS-OIT). Note that none of us is assigned 100% to BRCF.
