Issues with Lustre storage system on Euler (15 October 2019)

Dear Euler users,

Today we were experiencing some issues with the storage system hosting

/cluster/scratch/*

and

/cluster/work/*

Both systems may be temporarily inaccessible or very slow in response. All the queues have been inactivated and the system status of Euler has been changed to orange (partially operational). Our storage expert is working on resolving this problem.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
