Due to the implementation of fiscal year-end maintenance, the mdx II system will be temporarily suspended during the period indicated below.

All mdx II services will be unavailable during the maintenance period.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

■ mdx II System – Full Service Suspension Period

■ Scope of Impact Due to Maintenance

mdx IIシステムの運用再開とGPUノード提供開始のお知らせ

As previously announced on the above webpage and other notices, the root volumes (OS installation areas) of instances running on OpenStack have been temporarily migrated from the conventional Lustre storage to SSD storage.

With this maintenance, the storage configuration will be reverted from the SSD storage configuration back to the original Lustre storage configuration.
This change will not result in any unavailable or restricted features, and you may continue to use mdx II services as usual.

■ Suspension of Virtual Machines

Please ensure that all virtual machines on the mdx II system are stopped before the maintenance begins.

Any virtual machines still running at the start of the maintenance will be shut down by the university.
Please note that if a shutdown does not complete within a reasonable period of time, a forced shutdown may be performed.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding this maintenance.
