Group storage quota monitoring and notification services are implemented and deployed on the new GPFS storage cluster.
HPC-Project contact persons will now receive automated email alerts if their project group storage on the GPFS cluster exceeds its allocated limits.

Grace Period Warning Schedule

Warnings for group quotas follow a strict grace period countdown:

• Initial Warning: Triggered immediately when storage enters the grace period (typically 30 days left to clear space).
• Final Warning: Sent when only 10 days remain in the grace period.
• Expiration Notice: Sent once the grace period expires and write access is restricted.

Please ensure your project teams actively manage their storage directories to avoid data disruptions when grace periods expire.

Additionally, the quota monitoring and notification service for individual user storage are also migrated to the new GPFS storage cluster. As was the case previously, individual users will also receive automated warnings concerning over-limit space following this same grace period schedule.

Monday, 18.5.: final synchronization done, clusters ALCC and LiCCA are back online. In case of problems, please open a ticket with our Service-Desk.

15.5.: migration still running, estimate for finishing: Monday, 18.5.

13.5., 9:00:  final migration steps with data synchronization have been started,

no login possible until migration complete
