FINAL REMINDER: EXTENDED DOWNTIME for Biowulf/HPC, July 25-29, 2019
Date: 22 July 2019 08:07:05
From: NIH HPC Systems Staff
A reminder that an extended downtime of the Biowulf Cluster will start this Thursday July 25 at 7 am and last until Monday July 29 at 10 pm. A node reservation is in effect leading up to the maintenance window which prevents any HPC cluster jobs being scheduled that would overlap with the downtime period. Any running jobs will be terminated this Thursday at 7 am.
During this five day maintenance window all HPC services including the following will be unavailable to users:
- Biowulf login node & cluster
- Helix
- Helixdrive
- Mascot
- Sciware
In addition, the HPC Globus endpoint will be unavailable.
As the next step in the expansion of the NIH HPC cluster, this extended downtime will allow for the recabling of the HPC network fabric to support additional compute nodes and storage as well as allow for the upgrading of the HPC storage systems.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to grow our computing resources.
