NIH HPC Biowulf/Helix/Felix DOWNTIME April 21
Date: 03 April 2018 10:04:48
From: steven fellini
NIH HPC Users,
The NIH Biowulf Cluster will be unavailable on Saturday April 21 for cluster network maintenance work.
The Biowulf login node will also not be available during the downtime.
Helix and Felix will remain available, but /data directories residing on GPFS filesystems will not be
accessible ("checkquota --gpfs" will indicate GPFS filesystems).
--------
PLEASE NOTE: A system wide node reservation is in place for the downtime period. This means that
the batch scheduler will not start any jobs whose run times would extend into the reservation. So
please choose reasonably accurate time limits when submitting jobs. (Any running jobs in the "unlimited"
partition will be deleted the morning of the downtime).
--------
A reminder will be sent several days before the downtime; further details will be provided at that time.
