EXTENDED DOWNTIME for Biowulf/HPC systems November 30 - December 3, 2023
Date: 06 November 2023 08:11:59
From: NIH HPC Systems Staff
There will be an extended downtime of the Biowulf cluster starting on Thursday Nov 30 at 6 pm and running until Sunday Dec 3 at 8 pm for upgrades to the cluster and storage.
During this extended maintenance window the following HPC services will be unavailable to all Biowulf/HPC users:
- Biowulf login node & cluster
- Helix (the HPC data transfer node)
- HPCdrive
- the NIH HPC Globus endpoint
- Partek Flow
Note that a batch system reservation will be put in place for the downtime period. This means that the batch system scheduler will only start jobs if they will end before the reservation period, based on their walltime. Therefore, you should carefully choose job walltimes so as not to unnecessarily delay your jobs. Any running jobs will be terminated on November 30 at 6 pm.
