Rolling reboot of all clusters starting from June 14 2023

Beginning 9am on Wednesday, June 14, we will be having rolling reboots of all clusters (Owens, Pitzer, and Ascend). This includes both login and compute nodes and will be done to perform OS updates. Login nodes will be rebooted at 9am on June 14, which will leave them unavailable for approximately 5-10 minutes. The rolling reboots won't affect any running batch jobs, but users may experience longer than usual wait times on all clusters.

OSC enables Globus High Assurance storage endpoint

A new High Assurance Globus endpoint for OSC will be deployed to manage protected data on February 2, 2023. This will affect current projects at OSC which use Globus to manage their protected data. These projects will need to use the new High Assurance Globus endpoint to access their data. The name of the new endpoints are OSC /fs/ess High Assurance for project storage (/fs/ess) and OSC /fs/scratch High Assurance for scratch storage (/fs/scratch).
