Reminder: Farnam Scheduled MaintenanceDear Farnam Users, We will perform scheduled maintenance on Farnam starting Monday, September 9th, 2019 at 8:00 am through the end of the day on Wednesday, September 11, 2019. We will be performing preventative maintenance to ensure stable operation of the cluster. During this time logins will be disabled and Farnam storage will be unavailable on all clusters. An email notification will be sent when the maintenance has been completed and the cluster is available. We have engaged the storage vendor to investigate performance issues during the maintenance. Depending on what they discover, It is possible that the return to service will be delayed. If that happens, we will inform you. Please note any job whose requested time limit implies that it will still be running when the maintenance begins at 8:00 am on 9/9 will wait with a reason that starts with “ReqNodeNotAvail”. These jobs will be eligible for running after maintenance completes if left in the queue. You can run the command htnm (short for hours_to_next_maintenance) to get the number of hours until the next maintenance period, which can aid in submitting jobs that will run before maintenance begins.
