Rolling reboot of Owens and Pitzer starting from July 11, 2022

We will have rolling reboots of Owens and Pitzer clusters including login and compute nodes, starting from 9AM Monday, July 11, 2022, to perform OS updates to address CVE-2022-1966 (https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-1966). The rolling reboots won't affect any running batch jobs, but users may experience longer queue wait time than usual on both clusters. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please contact oschelp@osc.edu if you have any questions.
