Cluster users,
This is your friendly reminder that the cluster will undergo its regularly scheduled maintenance starting next Monday the 12th. The following maintenance activities will be performed:
Operating system updates
Slurm update and configuration changes
Nvidia driver updates
Infiniband driver updates
BIOS and firmware updates as needed
Miscellaneous hardware maintenance as needed
The entire cluster will be offline starting Tuesday the 13th at 8am, and will remain offline until approximately Wednesday the 14th at 3pm. Jobs scheduled to run into that offline period will remain pending with the message “ReqNodeNotAvail, Reserved for maintenance”. If you wish for your Slurm job to start and finish before the maintenance period begins, you will need to adjust your time limit accordingly, e.g. to change to 2 days do:
scontrol update job {jobid} TimeLimit=2-00:00:00
Alternatively, you can cancel your pending job, adjust your walltime (using the —-time option) and resubmit.
Rob Yelle
HPC Manager
