Hi Maureen,

Thank you for reporting this! We’ve identified the cause — it’s a bug introduced in a recent update that affects
slice access when the lease end time hasn’t been fully assigned yet. A fix will be deployed today.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and please let us know if the issue persists after today.

Best,

Yaxue

Hi Aggelos,

Thank you for reporting this.

We identified the root cause: the Lease End at field was being initialized using the raw API timestamp format, which was missing the required timezone offset formatting. This only caused problems when clicking Extend without first modifying the date picker, which matches the exact scenario you described.

A fix has now been implemented and will be deployed shortly. After deployment, you should no longer need to manually adjust the time before clicking Extend.

In the meantime, the current workaround is to slightly modify the Lease End at value using the date picker before submitting the extension.

Thank you again for your patience and for helping us track this down.

Best,

Hi Giandomeni,

The issue has been fixed on the Portal side (https://portal.fabric-testbed.net/resources/overview). Could you please check again and confirm everything looks good now?

Have a wonderful day.

Hi Giandomeni,

Thanks for reporting this issue. It was caused by a recent backend package update, and we’ve already implemented a fix. The update should be live within the next few minutes. I’ll follow up to confirm once the deployment is complete.

Thanks for your patience.

Best regards,

Hi Tejas,

We are performing maintenance on FABRIC starting today at 11:00 AM EST to switch Kafka, in response to upstream maintenance at UKY. All existing slices will be preserved.

Please see the maintenance notice here: https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/forums/topic/fabric-maintenance-notice-today-at-1100-am-est/.

Kindly stay tuned to the forum for updates on when the maintenance is completed. Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,

Hi Xavier,

Thank you for the feedback! The fix has already been deployed, so you should now be seeing the updated behavior.

From your earlier screenshot, I noticed that the “Lease End at” field was still showing the default time. The portal backend requires this value to include a timezone offset, but the default time displayed on the page does not include it. If the field isn’t modified, the old format is sent to the backend, which causes the request to be rejected.

As a quick test, could you please click the Lease End at field, adjust the time slightly (either using the picker or by typing), and then click Extend again?

Thanks again for your patience and for helping us track this down!

Best,

Hi Xavier,

The problem was due to how the date was being formatted when extending a slice. We’ve just fixed it so it now matches what the system expects. You should be able to extend your slice without any errors now.

Feel free to reach out again if anything else comes up!

Best,

Hi Yuanjun,

Thanks for reporting this issue! It’s due to a style package update that Portal is using. I’m working on fixing the package dependency issues and the update will be deployed tomorrow, on 01/15. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hi Justas,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We noticed that both slices you created include sub-interfaces for SmartNICs, which aren’t yet supported by the Portal Slice Viewer. Our team is actively working to expand Portal Slice Viewer’s capabilities to align with JupyterHub and FABLib features.

We’re planning to implement this feature in release 1.8, scheduled for early January 2025. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work towards this enhancement!
