System Downtime

Date: 
Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 7:00am to 5:00pm
Location: 

Ohio Supercomputer Center

A downtime is upcoming for all HPC systems starting Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2016, scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. and to finish by 5 p.m. The downtime will affect the Oakley and Ruby Clusters, web portals and HPC file servers. Login services and access to storage will not be available during this time. This downtime is part of a series of steps toward getting our new cluster, Owens, ready for general access.
 
In preparation for the downtime, the batch scheduler will begin holding jobs that cannot complete before 7 a.m., Sept. 27. Jobs that are not started will be held until after the downtime and then started once the system is returned to production status. 

Highlights of the downtime activities include:

  • Power configuration changes in the data center
  • Configuration changes to fix periodic outages on the Project file service.
