NERC’s planned OpenShift container platform (OCP) maintenance will occur on Monday August 21, 2023 from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
- We will be moving the OpenShift container platform worker nodes to a new location within the datacenter. The core OpenShift services will be interrupted during this time. Any critical workloads that are deployed in the cluster need to be stopped until the maintenance is complete.
NOTICES
We will be powering off all OpenShift cluster hosts prior to the move.
The NERC OpenShift cluster will be unavailable during this time. Please let us know If you encounter any issues after the maintenance has completed.
The estimated time to complete this update is 8 hours. It can take more or less time, so we urge you to keep an eye on https://nerc.instatus.com/ to get the progress during this time.
Please do subscribe to the NERC’s status for any future updates: https://nerc.instatus.com/subscribe/email
Our priority is to help make science happen, so If you or your research team have any questions or need to escalate an issue, please contact us via email (help@nerc.mghpcc.org).
Thanks,

- Resolved · UTC
We now know that this is due to the MGHPCC power sag event and now has been resolved.
The MGHPCC main meter detected an ITIC Level 2 power sag event at 3:59PM on Thursday July 27, during the wave of thunderstorms that passed through the area. The event affected a single power phase. Details Date: Thursday July 27, 2023 Time: 15:59:25 PM Percent of Nominal: 67% Duration: 6 cycles (100 milliseconds) - Monitoring · UTC
We implemented a fix and are currently monitoring the result.
- Investigating · UTC
It looks like most of the NERC's OpenStack VMs are in shut down state. You might need to manually restart them from OpenStack Dashboard: https://stack.nerc.mghpcc.org/dashboard/project/instances/
We are currently investigating this incident.

NERC’s planned system maintenance and update will occur on Monday July 10, 2023 from 9:00 AM – 01:00 PM.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
- We are conducting follow-up maintenance to the July 10th update. This requires updating the OpenStack nova configuration in order to support the new NVIDIA V100 GPUs. This will enable us to offer additional GPU flavors on the NERC OpenStack cluster.
NOTICES
Any running user VMs/containers/workloads should not be interrupted.
This work will involve a brief outage to the NERC OpenStack’s nova scheduler.
Users will be able to access their VMs and storage via configured SSH and API settings.
The estimated time to complete this update is 4 hours. It can take more or less time, so we urge you to keep an eye on https://nerc.instatus.com/ to get the progress during this time.

NERC’s planned system maintenance and update will occur on Monday July 10, 2023 from 9:00 AM – 01:00 PM.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
- Our plan includes enhancing the NERC’s OpenStack cluster by adding additional NVIDIA V100 GPUs. Additionally, we will be making modifications to the MGHPCC Shared Services Account Portal (aka RegApp) and Keycloak instance in order to allow logins from additional domains. Consequently, during this time, both new user registrations and login to NERC web services may be temporarily impacted.
NOTICES
We will be adding additional NVIDIA V100 GPUs to the NERC’s OpenStack cluster configuration which will enable us to distribute more GPU based flavors.
Any running user VMs/containers/workloads should not be interrupted.
Users will be able to access their VMs and storage via configured SSH and API settings.
