The cluster and related systems will be shutdown at 8am on Saturday morning. Due to the batch system
reservation which has been in place, the only jobs that will need to be killed are those running in
the 'unlimited' partition.

NIH HPC Biowulf/Helix/Felix DOWNTIME, Saturday April 27, 2019

From: steven fellini
NIH HPC Users,
The NIH Biowulf Cluster will be unavailable on Saturday April 27 for cluster network maintenance work.
The Biowulf login node, Helix and Felix will also not be available during the downtime.
--------
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
