URGENT security maintenance: ADA cloud unavailable tomorrow July 8th 

Dear Users,

This email is to inform you that tomorrow, July 8th, from 9:00 AM, ADA cloud infrastructure will be unavailable for urgent maintenance operation.

To perform the maintenance operations, the system will be completely closed and thus the ADA cloud dashboard, the cli interface and all the Virtual Machines (VMs) will NOT be available.

IMPORTANT actions to be performed by you:

• Before that date, please safely shut off all your VMs.
• After the shut-off of the VMs, for those VMs with LUKS volumes attached, please detach each volume by using the “Manage attachment” command in the ADA cloud dashboard (https://adacloud.hpc.cineca.it) under the “Volumes –> Volumes” tab.

WARNING:

• All the VMs that will be in active state at the beginning of the maintenance will be automatically shut off, with possible loss of data.

We will inform you as soon as the maintenance is completed.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any clarification.

Best regards,
HPC User Support – CINECA
