System Downtime

Date: 
Tuesday, October 28, 2014 - 11:00am to 9:00pm
The Ohio Supercomputer Center has scheduled a downtime for all HPC systems starting Tuesday, October 28th, 2014, beginning 7 a.m and scheduled to finish by 5 p.m. The downtime will affect the Glenn Cluster, Oakley Cluster, web portals, and HPC file servers. Login services and access to storage will not be available during this time.
 
In order to quiesce the system for an orderly shutdown the batch scheduler will begin holding jobs that cannot complete before 7 a.m. October 28th.  Jobs that are not started will be held until after the downtime and then started once the system is returned to production status.
 
Departmental clusters that we are administering will not be affected by this outage.
 
Highlights of the downtime activities:
  • Upgrade of Lustre server software.
  • Firmware updates for InfiniBand switches.
  • Various software updates and routine maintenance, including kernel upgrade on Oakley
