SGI Altix system unavailable Wednesday-Thursday, 11/5-6
November 17, 2008The SGI Altix 4700 system, caesar.rcac.purdue.edu, will be unavailable from 8am Wednesday morning, November 5, until late afternoon Thursday, November 6, so SGI and Purdue system engineers can apply firmware upgrades to the system's /scratch/caesar file system and conduct tests to evaluate its stability. The results of those tests will determine whether or not the file system will be made available Thursday afternoon when caesar.rcac.purdue.edu is returned to service.
Only those PBS jobs with walltimes less than the time remaining until the beginning of this maintenance period Wednesday morning, November 5, will be scheduled for execution. Jobs with longer walltimes will be held in the queue for execution after the system is returned to service Thursday afternoon.
