Service Project only gives you access to the Service. Please create your slice with LAMB project.

Could you please your slice try again?
Please post any further questions/concerns here: https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/forums/forum/fabric-general-questions-and-discussion/

Hi Seena,
We recently had a Kafka outage (details here: https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/forums/topic/service-update-kafka-outage/). Unfortunately this caused your Renew to only partially succeed, leaving your slice stuck in the Configuring state. Your VMs are still set to expire on 06/03.
There are two ways we can resolve this, both done administratively on our end:
1. Delete the slice and re-provision it, or
2. Force the state to StableOK.One thing to flag: a further slice extension may not be possible in either case.
Let me know how you’d like to proceed, and apologies for the inconvenience.

You should be able to pass the flag
storage=Truein multiple slices and still have the same volume mounted in both the slices simultaneously. Please feel free to reach out if you run into issues. Please post on any further questions here: https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/forums/forum/fabric-general-questions-and-discussion/Best,

Hi Nirmala,
We’re currently investigating what appears to be an unplanned outage on our Kafka service, which may be causing the slowness you’re experiencing. We are actively working on recovery, and I’ll keep you updated on our progress.

Hi Nirmala,
Could you please check if you see any errors in
/tmp/fablib/fablib.log?Another thing for the Post Boot config delays could be expired bastion keys. Please run the notebook
jupyter-examples-*/configure_and_validate/configure_and_validate.ipynbThis shall renew your bastion keys if they are expired.Please remember to update the Project ID in this notebook.
Please let me know in case you continue to run into issues.

Hi Jacob,
Take a look at this artifact. While it focuses on TCP performance, it also covers OS tuning and CPU pinning / NUMA tuning, both of which should help with your performance work.
One other thing worth considering is the type of NIC you’re using. Basic (virtual) NICs likely won’t give you peak performance — NIC_ConnectX-6 or NIC_ConnectX-5 would be much better candidates.

Hi Arash,
I’m looking at this will push out a fix soon.

Portal view has been fixed too! Portal now shows the state of resources correctly.

Hi Bek,
Just a heads-up — the resource status on the portal isn’t quite matching the actual state of the resources right now. I’m working to get that sorted, but in the meantime you can use the fablib API to check availability and find an open slot for your target slice.
Here’s an artifact that should come in handy: https://artifacts.fabric-testbed.net/artifacts/e777ce3a-5b40-4e58-9666-7f31f655f03c

April 22, 2026 at 11:54 am in reply to: Request to Extend Slice Lease – unable to do it from portal #9702Hi Sree,
I’m investigating the extend/renew of this slice. That said, I’d strongly recommend backing up your data in the meantime — that way, if the slice ever needs to be recreated, you’ll have everything you need on hand.
