    Lenovo needs to do some critical maintenance in row 8A at MGHPCC.

    This is needed to fix networking issues to improve IB performance

    Jobs on those nodes will be suspended and, after our work is completed, jobs will be resumed.

    No jobs will be killed.

    • This will affect seas and kempner users and users of sapphire and requeue whose jobs land on those nodes. See attached file for complete list of nodes.

    • Start time: 3:15 pm today

    • ETA: 45 minutes
