# Getting Support
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
It is strongly recommended that users subscribe to the [user mailing
|
|
list](#merlin-user-mailing-list), that way you will receive the newest
|
|
announcements concerning the status of the clusters, information regarding
|
|
maintenance actions, and other tasks that might affect your work.
|
|
|
|
There are several channels you can use to get support:
|
|
|
|
* the **preferred** choice is to submit a ticket with [PSI Service Now](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp), alternatively
|
|
* you can also us our [user mailing list](#merlin-user-mailing-list), or lastly
|
|
* you can email the Admins directly <merlin-admins@lists.psi.ch>
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
Basic contact information is also displayed on every shell login to the
|
|
system using the *Message of the Day* mechanism.
|
|
|
|
## PSI Service Now
|
|
|
|
[PSI Service Now](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp) is the official tool for
|
|
opening tickets and requests.
|
|
|
|
* PSI HelpDesk will redirect the incident to the corresponding department, or
|
|
* you can always assign it directly by checking the box `I know which service
|
|
is affected` and providing the service name `Local HPC Resources (e.g.
|
|
Merlin) [CF]` (just type in `Local` and you should get the valid
|
|
completions).
|
|
|
|
## Merlin User mailing list
|
|
|
|
This mailing list is the official channel used by Merlin administrators to inform users about downtimes,
|
|
interventions or problems. Users can be subscribed in two ways:
|
|
|
|
* *Preferred way*: Self-registration through [Sympa](https://psilists.ethz.ch/sympa/info/merlin-users)
|
|
* If you need to subscribe many people (e.g. your whole group) by sending a
|
|
request to the admin list <merlin-admins@lists.psi.ch>
|
|
and providing a list of email addresses.
|
|
|
|
## Email the Admins
|
|
|
|
This is the official way to contact Merlin Administrators for discussions which
|
|
do not fit well into the incident category. Do not hesitate to contact us for
|
|
such cases.
|
|
|
|
**E-Mail**: <merlin-admins@lists.psi.ch>
