Anunna maintenance
Maintenance windows allow us to safely perform essential updates and upgrades that cannot be carried out while the cluster is in use. By grouping this work into planned downtimes, we keep Anunna secure, reliable and up to date while minimising unexpected disruption.
Anunna is taken down for planned maintenance — firmware and software updates — roughly twice a year. Typically one downtime is scheduled in April or May and another in October in a week free of teaching, to disrupt usage as little as possible.
During a downtime the cluster is unavailable. Jobs are not scheduled to run across a planned downtime, so check the announced dates when planning long jobs.

Announcements
Planned maintenance is announced in advance — watch the Message of the Day on the Apps Portal, login nodes and we always send out an announcement in advance over e-mail.
