Hello all,
I will give the SGE-update (see my mail from last time [1]) another try this week and so I hereby announce downtime of the SGE-system on Thursday between 19:00 and 23:00 UTC. If the update is not successful on Thursday I will give it another try at Friday between 19:00 and 23:00 UTC. During the downtime no SGE-process will start on any server, while processes/jobs that had started already will continue to run; jobs which are queued at the beginning of the maintenance-window will start after the window is done.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Sincerely, DaB.
P.S: Just to be clear: There will be ONLY maintenance on the SGE, not on the databases like last time.

I am not able to do the maintenance tonight, so it is postponed to Wednesday (same time-frame).
Sincerely, DaB.

just if somebody wonders: There is no maintenance tonight, because Merlissimo and I agreed that we need to install a fresh copy of SGE instead of updating the old (which fails for the last 2 times). That will need many preparations and it's not possible to do that now. The good news is that this way will need fewer downtime at all. So the next SGE-Maintenance is planned for
Friday, the 11th. between 20:00 and 22:00 UTC.
Sincerely, DaB.
