Hydra storage maintenance scheduled on 18/05

There are a couple of hardware issues with the Hydra storage which we cannot safely fix while the cluster is running. We are going to shut down Hydra on Monday 18 May, starting at 09:00 to perform the needed repairs. We expect that we can resume normal operations by the late afternoon.

As usual, the jobs scheduler will be programmed to only let jobs start if the walltime ends before 18/5. Otherwise the jobs will remain in the queue until after the repairs have finished. This also includes jobs on the VSC Tier 1.
