HPCC users, I apologize for the additional announcement, but I want to clear up a typo that I made in the previous announcement below: The cluster will be offline from Tuesday March 22nd at 8am through approximately Wednesday March 23rd at 3pm. If anyone has any questions or concerns, let me know. Rob From: Yelle, Robert Brian <robert.yelle@oregonstate.edu> Date: Monday, March 14, 2022 at 10:19 AM To: cluster-users@engr.orst.edu <cluster-users@engr.orst.edu> Subject: CoE HPC News, March 14 2022 Edition: Spring maintenance HPCC users, Here is the latest news on the CoE HPC cluster: Spring break maintenance week: The HPC Cluster will undergo its regularly scheduled quarterly maintenance next week (March 21-25) The following maintenance activities will be performed: Operating system updates BIOS and firmware updates as needed Nvidia driver and CUDA updates Slurm configuration changes Open OnDemand configuration changes Power redistribution for various compute nodes Miscellaneous hardware maintenance as needed The entire cluster will be offline starting Tuesday the 22nd at 8am, and will remain offline until approximately Wednesday the 8th 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 another announcement when the cluster is back online. After the offline period, maintenance will continue on various parts of the cluster throughout the week.
