Cloud Computing service unavailable on March 14, 2017

Dear Users,

we inform you that on March 14, 2017 the Cloud computing service on PICO will be unavailable from 9 AM to 2 PM for updating operations.

We kindly ask you to shutdown the virtual machines "from inside", i.e. launching the "shutdown" command inside each of them.

Please pay attention: on March 14 at 9 AM, all the virtual machines still active will be shut off by us, but note that this procedure may generate a filesystem corruption in some virtual machine.

Also the dashboard will be unavailable during the updating operations.

Best regards.
