Dear Seaborg Users, As a reminder Seaborg will be decommissioned at the end of the allocation year. Please see the decommission schedule below for important dates. * January 1, 2008 - Seaborg will be running under a limited hardware and software support contract. All important /scratch data should be backed up to HPSS prior to January 1st as a precautionary measure. If Seaborg were to suffer from a major outage it is likely the machine would not be restored. * January 7, 2008 16:00 Pacific Time - Seaborg batch queues stopped. * January 7, 2008 20:00 - 23:59 Pacific Time - All MPP production systems down for end of year accounting. * January 8, 2008 16:00 Pacific Time - Seaborg user logins disabled. Users will have until 16:00 PT to move /scratch data to HPSS. Users should be migrating to other NERSC resources, Franklin, Bassi and Jacquard as well as backing up important data to HPSS. Files remaining in users' $HOME directories will be archived to HPSS, however files in $SCRATCH directories WILL BE DELETED. Please contact NERSC's User Services Group at consult_at_nersc_dot_gov for any question or concerns.
