Major network switch outage on November 14, 2018

At about 1:50 AM on November 14th, OSC experienced a major switch failure which resulted in the home directory service being disrupted. As a result, the home directories were offline and all logins were failing to all clusters. All user-facing issues have been resolved and the services are back. Running jobs may recover, but please look at job output to verify correctness. Some jobs experienced failures and will need to be resubmitted. For more information, see: https://bit.ly/2FlCZFD
