The HPCF has remained stable with the UPS in its default operating mode. The manufacturer is continuing to investigate the root cause of this issue, and has suggested the replacement of a component of the control system as part of this effort.

Monitoring
Summit has been returned to service. We will continue to monitor the status of the system, and expect to receive a root cause analysis regarding our observations of the UPS. In the mean time, we expect that our use of the default UPS mode will reduce the likelihood that the problem will reoccur.

Update
We have discovered an apparent anomaly in the operation of the UPS “ECOnversion” mode, a mode that allows the UPS to operate with greater power efficiency than in its default mode. This anomaly does not appear to affect the default mode; so we are gathering diagnostic reports from the UPS in each mode for further analysis, and plan to bring Summit back into production with the UPS in the default mode.

Update
We have confirmed onsite that the HPCF has experienced a major power outage. All HPCF systems, including Summit and Summit storage (including both scratch and interim PetaLibrary allocations) are offline.
We are investigating the cause and are working to restore service as soon as possible.
