If you are a UFIT Research Computing client using HiPerGator and related infrastructure sometimes you may not be sure what step to take next or how some part of the system works, ran into a problem, have a question, or would like to improve your workflow here are the steps you can take. Here's the order of actions we recommend taking to find the information you need or to get more direct and personalized help. To check HPG's resource usage, visit our HiPerGator Metrics page.
Documentation
This help documentation website is the main information hub for all things related to UFIT RC, HPG, and related infrastructure and services. FAQ specifically has common issues users face and solutions. Otherwise, you can browse through the site using links and categories menu on the left side, try a search whether using the search field in the top-right corner, or with a search engine by entering e.g. site:help.rc.ufl.edu with your search term, check the Applications help pages for help with running specific apps on HiPerGator. If you need information about general overview, news policies, and resource purchse forms, you can visit our main website.
Support System
If you don't find what you are looking for on this help site please open a support request. Requests are usually triaged quickly, but since there are few support staff members who all have many additional duties it may be a while before work on new requests can begin in earnest. The requests are usually fulfilled on the first come, first serve basis, and may take anywhere from hours to days to resolve. If a request requires more than few hours of work and/or multiple staff members and significant effort to resolve you will be expected to purchase consulting hours.
Chat Support
For a quick question you can use our #support slack channel https://rcconsultants.slack.com. Join the channel via the inite link you can see on the protected Remote Support page (requires HPG login). We will monitor the channel and reply as soon as we can. Note that the chat #support channel does not guarantee immediate staff availability. We usually reply 'in a thread', so the messages will not overwhelm the channel.
Direct Support
If you would like to describe the issue in a face-to-face conversation or it may be necessary for you or for a UFRC support staff member to share computer screen to achieve the best outcome use the booking form linked from the Remote Support page to schedule an appointment. Since we work in a hybrid model a visit can be scheduled either in-office or on zoom depending on your preferences, urgency, and staff schedule and availability. We ask that you reserve a time slot at least four hours in advance. The bookings system uses our calendars and staff availability is limited, so there are no set office hours.
