Note
This window applies only to researchers using GPFS5.
We will be performing upgrades on the GPFS5 storage system to optimize stability. During this process, researchers on the GPFS5 side will be unable to login via SSH, and Open OnDemand (https://rc.uab.edu) will appear unresponsive.
The maintenance window is scheduled for the morning of Tuesday, September 16, 2025, from 6:00 AM through 6:00 PM. We expect the process to take no more than 12 hours. We will restore service as soon as work is complete.
