System Downtime

Date: 
Tuesday, February 10, 2015 - 7:00am to 5:00pm
UPDATE: Downtime has completed successfully on February 10th.   
 
The Ohio Supercomputer Center scheduled a downtime for all HPC systems starting Tuesday, February 10th, 2015, 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. February 10th.  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:
 
  • Preventative maintenance for shared storage hardware
  • Upgrade server hardware for database service
  • Upgrades and configuration changes to the InfiniBand network management servers
