WHAT’S HAPPENING?
One of the storage controllers in use for Hive requires a hard drive replacement to restore the high availability of the device. The activity takes about 2 hours to complete.
WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?
Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, starting at 10 AM EDT.
WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
The failed drive limits the high availability of the controller.
WHO IS AFFECTED?
Users of the Hive storage system will notice decreased performance since all services will be switched over to a single controller. It is possible that access will be interrupted while the switch happens.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
During hard drive replacement for the Hive cluster, one of the controllers will be shut down, and the redundant controller will take all the traffic. Data access should be preserved, and we do not expect downtime, but there have been cases in the past where storage has become inaccessible. In case of storage unavailability during replacement becomes an issue, your job may fail or run without making progress. If you have such a job, please cancel it and resubmit it once storage can be accessed.
