ROLLING REBOOTS OF ALL CLUSTERS STARTING JUNE 19

We will have rolling reboots of three clusters (Owens, Ruby, and Oakley) including login and compute nodes, starting from 8 AM Tuesday, June 19, 2018. The rolling reboots will address recent Kernel vulnerabilities patched by RedHat. The rolling reboots won't affect any running jobs, but users may experience longer queue wait time than usual on the cluster. For the most updated information, please see https://bit.ly/2sRW3Ts

License Server Reboot 9AM Tuesday May 29

A reboot of the license server is scheduled from 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 29. It is expected to take 10 minutes to complete this reboot. During the reboot, we will pause the scheduling so no new job will be scheduled on all three clusters (Oakley, Ruby, and Owens). It won't impact most of the running jobs, but running jobs using special software packages may fail due to license error. For more information, see this link: https://bit.ly/2krk52Y
