MGHPCC will be performing power upgrades on Pod 8A in order to increase density and allow more nodes to be added in that Pod's rows. Similar to the May 13th work, this means that we will be idling half the nodes in 8A on two dates: June 17 and June 24th.
These are all day events, meaning that the nodes in question will not be available for the 24 hours of that day. This is being accomplished via reservations. So no jobs will be canceled but nodes will be drained and users may notice that their jobs may pend longer than normal as the scheduler idles these nodes.
