Update
Dear Researcher,
This is a reminder that we are planning to upgrade Genomics England’s WEKA storage system from software version 4.1 to 4.2. The outage will be from Friday, 22 March 2024, 18:00 (GMT) to Monday, 25 March 2024, 09:00 (GMT).
- Long queue has been paused (Friday, 15 March 2024) as scheduled. - Medium queue will be paused 21 March 2024 (Midday) - Short queue will be paused 22 March 2024 (Midday)
For all queues new jobs can be submitted during these dates but they will not run until after the maintenance window, meaning jobs may take longer to complete than expected.
