Update
Initial controlled shutdown of the first switch went smoothly thanks to configuration fixes made after the last aborted attempt. The network OS update was also applied successfully. However, bring-up of redundant services on the first upgraded and reconfigured switch is causing some unforeseen issues. This has resulted in several short periods of external and internal connectivity loss that may have adversely affected some services. eRI cluster login nodes remain available and Slurm is healthy. Vendor support engineers are working to investigate and resolve these issues. A further update will be given before 9am.
