holylabs inaccessible - cluster paused
解決済み22時間 2分
  • 解決済みUTC

    We have reverted the routing systems involved in causing this issue to their previous version/state. We will continue to investigate why this issue occurred and what will allow us to upgrade these systems at a later date.

  • 調査中UTC

    The issue with holylabs (and potentially other lustre filesystems) has recurred. This may have effects on jobs and any process using this and potentially other lustre filesystems.

    No ETA at this time.

  • 解決済みUTC

    We have restored access to holylabs and the cluster/jobs are no longer paused.

    We have identified a root cause which we will be working to remediate to prevent this issue in future.

  • 原因判明済みUTC

    The scheduler and all jobs have been paused in order to reduce the load on holylabs.

    We are continuing to work on a fix for this incident.

  • 調査中UTC

    The holylabs filesystem is currently down due to high load.

    OOD, software, and modules are all functional but if your workflow uses holylabs for storage, scripts, or jobs it may hang or fail. Our engineers are investigating this issue further.

Ceph instability - Affects Boston VMs (Virtual Machines) and Tier2 Ceph shares
解決済みパフォーマンス低下中11時間 57分
  • 解決済みUTC

    The Ceph instability has been resolved. Caeph Tier2 shares, VDI, and VMs should be back to their normal state.

    If your VM, /net/fs-[labname] share, or VDI session is still impacted, please contact rchelp@rc.fas.harvard.edu

  • 原因判明済みUTC

    The infrastructure behind Tier2 Ceph shares and VMs is unstable.
    This also affects VDI/OOD which relies on virtual machines.

    /net/fs-[labname] shares, new OOD/VDI sessions, and VMs are affected and may will be inaccessible until this is resolved.

    Thanks for your patience.

holyscratch01 performance
解決済み71時間 8分
  • 解決済みUTC

    This incident has been resolved.

  • 調査中UTC

    holyscratch01 is in a degraded state currently. A group of improperly architected jobs are hammering the filesystem which is impeding access for other users. We are in the process of identifying and stopping these jobs.

    Until then, we recommend starting an interactive session and working from there as those will have the lowest impact. However, performance will still be slow until we are able to stop the problematic jobs.

    Please note the extended timeframe.
    See tasks section below for explanation.

    NOTICES

    • CentOS 7 Support EOL: We will be dropping support for CentOS 7 support in September. If your machine or VM is CentOS 7 and connects with Slurm please contact FASRC to discuss options.

    • Test Partition Changes: We are changing test partitions based on changing needs and increasing max time to 12hrs instead of 8 hrs. A reminder that this partition is not for running jobs.

    MAINTENANCE TASKS

    • holyscratch01 Disk Shelf Replacement  All Jobs Will Be Paused
      -- Audience : All cluster and scratch users - Cannon and FASSE
      -- Impact:  Hardware issues with holyscratch01 necessitate the replacement of one of the disk shelves. As a result all jobs and scratch will need to be paused for the duration.
      -- ETA: This swap is expected to take 3-4 hours, but pausing the cluster, vendor interactions, and allowing a margin for over-run requires that we extend maintenance by 2 hours  (7am-1pm)

    • Login node and OOD/VDI reboots
      -- Audience: Anyone logged into a a login node or VDI/OOD node
      -- Impact: Login and VDI/OOD nodes will rebooted during this maintenance window  

    • Scratch cleanup ( https://docs.rc.fas.harvard.edu/kb/policy-scratch/ )
      -- Audience: Cluster users
      -- Impact: Files older than 90 days will be removed.

Emergency maintenance 6/20/23 - Cannon Slurm Scheduler
完了メンテナンス
  • 予定6月 20, 2023 の 11:00UTC

    WHAT
    Emergency Cannon cluster scheduler maintenance Tuesday June 20th from 7am - 11am (actual end time estimated). Running jobs will be paused during maintenance.

    Note: FASSE is unaffected by this.

    WHY
    As most of you know, there are on-going issues with the Cannon scheduler after the downtime and OS upgrades. This behavior did not show up in our earlier testing and only manifested once we were under load from user jobs again.

    After investigation we found that the scheduler is oscillating between two states every hour. During even hours the scheduler would enter a high thread state where all the traffic would pile up, causing any queries to either take a long time or time out. During odd hours the scheduler would enter a low thread state and operate normally. During periods where the scheduler is responding, jobs can be submitted and should then run normally.

    Unfortunately the root cause is still not known, and we are working closely with the vendor, SchedMD, to find a solution to return the cluster to stability. The version of slurm that we are running is 22.05.7, which while very stable — we have been running on it for the past 5 months with no problems — appears to be having issues at scale on Rocky 8.

    There is a newer version of the scheduler available, 23.02.3. This new version has a host of improvements. While the specific issue described above is not listed as one of the items fixed in this version, we anticipate that the upgrade may fix this issue owing to the various code improvements contained therein.

    Barring any solutions found over the long weekend, we intend to hold an emergency maintenance period on Tuesday June 20th starting at 7am. Running jobs will be paused. We will return Cannon to service as soon as we've completed work. Status of this maintenance will be tracked here on our status page.

    We thank you for your patience and understanding. Our team is hard at work answering your tickets and making sure that the cluster is back to full health. Also as a reminder that we hold additional Office Hours each week in June. See: https://www.rc.fas.harvard.edu/training/office-hours/

Slurm scheduler slowness/delays
解決済み155時間 8分
  • 解決済みUTC

    This incident has been resolved.

    A solution to the Slurm scheduler issue has been found and implemented. The scheduler is now operating normally.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

  • 更新UTC

    PLEASE SEE EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE NOTICE BELOW
    Emergency maintenance Tuesday June 20th 7am-11am. Running jobs will be paused.

    We are still working on finding the root cause of the scheduler slowness and timeouts. We are working with SchedMD and have sent diagnostic information for analysis.

    At this time the scheduler is up but may become unresponsive to your commands at times. You can wait and retry them.

    Jobs, once launched, should run as expected.

    OOD/VDI are working, but job submission may also be affected.

    If you receive salloc: error: Job submit/allocate failed: Invalid account or account/partition combination specified, waiting a moment and re-submitting your job again should result in a successful submission.

    Addendum: It was determined that the issue is cyclical and you will have the best luck during odd hours (e.g. - after 1pm, before 2pm) and less success interfacing with the scheduler during even hours (e.g. - after 2pm, before 3pm).

    We regret the impact this is having on your work. Updates will follow as we have them.

  • 更新UTC

    We are still working on finding the root cause of the slowness and are working with the vendor to troubleshoot.

    At this time the scheduler is up but may become responsive to your commands at times. Jobs, once launched, should run as expected.

  • 更新UTC

    Slurm is still being overwhelmed with large numbers of requests. VDI timeouts/502 errors, interactive job connections, job submissions, are all impacted.

    We are in contact with the Slurm developers to find a better resolution.

  • 監視中UTC

    We have implemented updates and the scheduler appears stable and responsive.
    We will continue to monitor and update this incident.

  • 調査中UTC

    We are currently investigating performance issues with the scheduler. This manifests in slowness when submitting jobs, job submission fails some percentage of the time, and timeout errors (including OOD/VDI).

    Also, some jobs may not exit cleanly putting nodes into drain status.

    We are working to resolve this issue. Updates to follow.
