Brief Network Maintenance 7AM Dec 16
We will be conducting network maintenance on Tuesday, December 16, at 7:00 AM EST to prepare for the January 6 scheduled downtime. There is a low probability of brief disconnection for external connections (SSH/OnDemand) to the HPC environment. Running jobs will continue to run. We expect this operation to be seamless.
