POSSIBLE OWENS OUTAGE
We have been experiencing an issue with the Ethernet switches in the Owens
cluster, which may potentially kill the running jobs on Owens. We have been
monitoring this issue closely and reserving nodes with the switch errors for
emergency maintenance. So far, no running job has been killed due to this issue
based on our monitoring. Oakley and Ruby clusters are not affected. A possible
Owens outage will happen for the permanent fix of this issue. We'll provide
updates as we learn more from the vendor.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

from Red Hat version 6.9 to 6.10. These changes will be applied via rolling
