We have completed our maintenance and all services are online and available. Here are some highlights of what we accomplished during the maintenance:
*Removed old RCE5 compute node equipment and migrated new RCE6 equipment into our cluster rack.
*Migrated all RCE project and home volumes from our old back-end storage to our new cluster storage hardware. The new cluster storage will allow us to scale into the Petabytes.
*created new secure storage containers to better segregate sensitive data, in compliance with HEISP/HCI level 3 and 4 requirements.
*Fully patched and deployed latest configurations to the RCE cluster.
*Upgraded to HTCondor 8.0.7. HTCondor is our cluster compute resource manager.
