Hello,
If you don't use the GPUs on the stat servers you can skip the rest of this message.
If you do use stat1005 and its GPU, please be aware that we are planning to move this GPU to a new stat server stat1010 as soon as it's feasible to do so. Hopefully within a week or two.
Please could you let us know if this would be inconvenient for you and we will try to accommodate your needs. We'll let you know a precise date for the GPU move once we have assessed the current usage and have planned the work with the DC Ops team in eqiad.
If you still need to use a GPU on buster, you can continue to use stat1008 for now.
As ever, if you have any queries or concerns about these operations, please do let us know.
Kind regards, Ben
Hello,
This is a follow-up to the email below, regarding the swapping of a GPU from stat1005 to stat1010.
The work has now been scheduled with the DC Ops team in eqiad and it is planned for *today at 15:00 UTC*.
I will be shutting down *both servers* shortly before 15:00 and they will be restarted as soon as the swap is complete. This is expected to be no later than 15:30 UTC.
Please let me know as soon as possible if this is likely to cause you inconvenience and we will look to defer the work.
Kind regards, Ben
