Upcoming Spring 2025 Maintenance Work

The RCD team has scheduled a maintenance window to perform work on the Palmetto Cluster, Indigo Data Lake, and other systems at the end of the Spring semester.

This work will begin on Saturday, May 31st, 2025, at 9:00 AM. While maintenance work is in progress, all RCD services will be unavailable.

During the maintenance window, we plan to complete the following:

  • Minor OS Upgrades
  • Networking Maintenance
  • System Testing and Benchmarking

There are no plans to purge scratch space during this maintenance, but users should be mindful that scratch space is never backed up and critical files should always be stored on home or project storage.

Users should expect that services will be restored no earlier than Friday, June 6th, 2025, at 5:00 PM and should monitor their email for updates from RCD.

Please feel free to reach out to RCD with any questions or concerns that you have about the maintenance work by submitting a support ticket – we would love to hear from you!
