# Maintenance break 2022-05

## Proposed timeline of actions

Timeline proposal before update:

- [ ] Do a preliminary sync of home2 -> ssd3
- [ ] Do a preliminary sync of ssd2 -> clusterstor

Timeline proposal during update:

- [ ] Start taking nodes down, unmount lustre everywhere
- [ ] Start home2 -> ssd3 sync (infiniband needed)
- [ ] Sync ssd2 -> clusterstor (clusterstor needed)
- [ ] Update clusterstor (clusterstor down)
- [ ] Update slurm packages & pmix packages, slurm accounts, slurm config, job_submit, ohpc images
- [ ] Update Mellanox cards / IB switches that do not affect the home2 -> ssd3 transfer
- [ ] Update rest of Mellanox switches
- [ ] Enable slurm jobstats on slurm & clusterstor
- [ ] Restart nodes, bring queue back up
