Information notices
The RequestS3Access command has been decommissioned and can no longer be used to request an S3 bucket.
To get an S3 bucket, email [email protected] with your account name and the bucket name you’d like to use. See the NIRD S3 documentation for details https://documentation.sigma2.no/files_storage/nird/s3.html.

As last time, we expect to be able to have the login node and the file systems online during the maintenance.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
