Frontera Status Tuesday 21 January 2025

Due to a hardware issue on the disk controller for the shared file system, we have to take the file system offline and troubleshoot the issue.  The proposed window is 9AM-5PM CST, but we will put the system back to production as soon as the hardware work is complete.

$WORK Status Monday 30 December 2024

We have experienced some issues with $WORK causing a slower response period earlier today, but the issue has since been resolved and the service has been restored. If you have any questions or concerns, please submit a ticket through your TACC User Portal. https://tacc.utexas.edu/portal/tickets
