In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Mar 09, 2026 - 13:00 NZDT
Scheduled - HPE will be applying security firmware upgrades to the cluster storage nodes from Monday, March 9th. These will be done one per day in a rolling fashion, with completion scheduled for April 3rd. There may be some minor short term slow down whilst GPFS reorganises its nodes but the filesystems will remain available throughout.
Mar 9, 2026 13:00 - Apr 3, 2026 13:00 NZDT
Update - We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.
Feb 19, 2026 - 08:13 NZDT
Monitoring - A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.
Feb 19, 2026 - 08:13 NZDT
Identified - We are investigating a network configuration issue and testing a possible solution.
Feb 18, 2026 - 17:08 NZDT
Investigating - Accessing storage over SMB appears to reduce performance.
Feb 18, 2026 - 12:03 NZDT
Update - We are continuing to investigate this issue.
Jan 19, 2026 - 15:39 NZDT
Investigating - We have identified a couple of issues with differing group memberships between login-0 and login-1. The issue does not seem to be widespread but we are investigating regardless.
Nov 24, 2025 - 10:53 NZDT
Update - We have been working with HPE to narrow down the scope and impact of this Problem. We now know that the issue appears to be limited to the GPFS filesystems and only a handful of files. We can also restore impacted files from DMF to other locations as a workaround to allow access to them.

HPE have just started an online filesystem scan to check for any metadata issues. This may impact IO performance while running.

Dec 17, 2025 - 14:44 NZDT
Investigating - We are experiencing some issues accessing offline files from DMF. This can manifest as files that can't be read or even deleted. The files affected can possibly be identified using the "du" command and will show as having a 0 bytes size.
We have escalated this issue with our storage support vendor
