ROLLING REBOOT OF ALL THREE CLUSTERS STARTING SEPT. 4

Owens, Ruby, and Oakley clusters will have OS kernel and BIOS updates to address the latest Intel processor security vulnerabilities. As part of these updates it is necessary to update the OS distribution on Ruby and Oakley from Red Hat version 6.9 to 6.10. These changes will be applied via rolling reboots of compute nodes. Owens and Ruby will also have a software refresh at this time. For the most updated information on the software refresh, please see https://bit.ly/2PANrtZ

ROLLING REBOOT OF OWENS AND RUBY STARTING AUGUST 6

We will have rolling reboots of Owens and Ruby clusters including login and compute nodes, starting from 8 AM Monday, August 6, 2018. This rolling reboot is to make the latest CUDA 9 and dependent software available with the updated device driver, for the preparation of the software refresh at the end of August. The rolling reboots won't affect any running jobs, but users may experience longer queue wait time than usual on the cluster. The Oakley cluster will not be affected.
