Cluster users, This is your friendly reminder that next week is cluster maintenance week, and that the cluster will be offline starting next Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon, see message below for details. Have a good weekend! Rob Yelle HPC Manager From: Yelle, Robert Brian <robert.yelle@oregonstate.edu> Date: Thursday, September 1, 2022 at 2:23 PM To: cluster-users@engr.orst.edu <cluster-users@engr.orst.edu> Subject: CoE HPC News, Sept 1 2022 Edition: Fall maintenance HPCC users, Here is the latest news on the CoE HPC cluster: Fall maintenance week: The HPC Cluster will undergo its regularly scheduled quarterly maintenance September 12-16. The following maintenance activities will be performed: Operating system updates BIOS and firmware updates as needed Slurm scheduler upgrade Nvidia driver and CUDA updates 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. I will send out a reminder next week, and another announcement when the cluster is back online.
