[Ci-users] Infra : scheduled hardware maintenance (Openshift/NFS)

Due to a hardware maintenance that needs to take place on the NFS
storage node used by openshift ("legacy" and current one - ocp ), we'll
have to shutdown the openshift cluster, and then proceed with hardware
maintenance on the NFS server (that itself needs to be powered down, no
way to actually do that "online")

Migration is scheduled for """"Wednesday September 30th, 12:00 pm UTC
time"""".
You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2020-09-30 12:00 UTC')

The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~60 minutes , time needed to
shutdown the machine, install new disks, restart the machine and also do
some updates and tuning on the setup.

For more informations about this, here are some relevant tickets that
were created for the perf issue in openshift and nfs :

PS : worth noting that while we'll investigate reports on new ocp
cluster, we'll probably  not spend time investigating in the old/legacy
one, that projects are supposed to migrate away from soon, as the legacy
openshift setup will disappear soon (see
https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/16)

Thanks for your comprehending and patience.

on behalf of the CI Infra team,
