Hammer Slurm Maintenance 1/22/2025
Link to update at January 21, 2025 10:13am EST UPDATE:
Reminder that the Slurm scheduler on Hammer will be undergoing maintenance tomorrow. Scheduled jobs that would run past 6:00am, Jan 22nd will queue and be able to run once the maintenance is completed.

We will be upgrading backend servers on Wednesday, January 22nd. These upgrades will require the Slurm scheduler to be idle and shut down while transferring to the new server. There will be a period of roughly 2 hours where the Slurm scheduler will be totally unavailable, otherwise jobs will continue to schedule and queue as normal and begin running again once the maintenance period has ended. This downtime only affects the Slurm scheduler, and users should still be able to log into Hammer to perform tasks that do not require the use of batch job scheduling.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this final step of upgrading the operating system on the Hammer cluster.
