MAINTENANCE TASKS

Cannon cluster will be paused during this maintenance?: YES
FASSE cluster will be paused during this maintenance?: YES

• Network maintenance 

  • Audience: Clusters (Cannon and FASSE)

  • Impact: The cluster will be paused during this work.
    Some network disruption may occur.

• Login node reboots 

  • Audience: All login nodes

  • Impact: Login nodes will be unavailable until after maintenance

• OOD/Open OnDemand reboots

  • Audience: All OOD users

  • Impact: OOD will be unavailable until after maintenance

• Netscratch 90-day retention cleanup

  • Audience; All netscratch users

  • Update: Due to low space on netscratch, please note that retention cleanup will be run more frequently. We are reviewing our 90 day policy with a possible age reduction.

  • Impact: Files older than 90 days will be removed per our scratch policy. Please note that this cleanup can happen at any time, not just during maintenance.

Thank you,

FASRC will be doing OS upgrades to the latest version of Rocky 8.10 from August 24-27th. These rolling upgrades will improve cluster security and install the latest Cuda 13.2 driver.

Upgrades will happen in stages with each stage occurring between 8a-5p each day. During that period the nodes being upgraded will be unavailable. No jobs will be canceled but jobs will stay pending if all nodes in the partition are down.

Note that during this week the cluster will be in a partially upgraded state, thus jobs that span multiple nodes may become unstable due to mismatching libraries. Users concerned about this should wait until August 28th to restart runs.

Users should plan their work accordingly.

The upgrade schedule with impacted partitions is as follows:

August 24th:
