• ChimeraX preparation for Wynton downtime.

Discussion Notes

• Pharm Chem faculty talk
  • Tom Ferrin and Scooter talked about the lab history and current work at a Pharm Chem faculty lunch.
  • Aashish Manglik asked how the faculty could support the ChimeraX effort.
  • Charlie Craik recruited lab members to see sars-cov-2 main protease in VR.
  • John Gross also enthusiastic and interested in alphafold visualization.

• Quest 3 headset
  • Scooter resubmitted our Quest 3 order and it is in progress.

• Computer downtime plans, Scooter
  • Plato will be down for 2 days Monday Oct 30 and Tuesday.
  • BeeGFS will be updated, new disks also, new switch, Rocky 8 on wynton nodes, many other updates.
  • Wynton cluster will be down from Monday until possibly Friday.
  • Wynton audit security testing on Thursday and Friday and possibly on the weekend.
  • Would like to have the ChimeraX and Chimera and Toolshed web sites direct to a page saying "Down for maintenance".
  • Each plato node has local 4 TByte SSD drive. Possible to move services from BeeGFS to local, but complicated especially if data is written. Not worth the effort.
  • For future plato updates, usually we will be able to update one node at a time so there is no downtime.
