Dear Farnam Users,
Scheduled maintenance will be performed on Farnam beginning Monday, March 11, 2019, at 8:00 am. Maintenance is expected to be completed by the end of day, Thursday, March 14, 2019. During this time, logins will be disabled and connections via Globus will not be available. The YSM and Slayman GPFS storage will not be available on the Grace cluster. We ask that you logoff the system prior to the start of the maintenance, after saving your work and closing any interactive applications. An email notification will be sent when the maintenance has been completed, and the cluster is available.As the maintenance window approaches, the Slurm scheduler will not start any job if the job’s requested wall clock time extends past the start of the maintenance period (8:00 am on March 11, 2019). If you run squeue, such jobs will show as pending jobs with the reason “ReqNodeNotAvail.” If your job can actually be completed in less time than you requested, you may be able to avoid this by making sure that you request the appropriate time limit using “-t” or “–time.” Held jobs will automatically return to active status after the maintenance period, at which time they will run in normal priority order. Please visit the status page at research.computing.yale.edu for the latest updates. If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us at hpc@yale.edu. Sincerely, Paul Gluhosky |
