As of 2:20pm EDT, engineers have completed the CentOS 7 upgrade and maintenance, and have returned the HalsteadGPU cluster back to normal service. All queues have been enabled and jobs have resumed scheduling.

Please note that HalsteadGPU default scratch has been changed to the new scratch filesystem, as explained in the New Halstead Scratch Storage announcement.

Please report any issues to rcac-help@purdue.edu

Link to original posting ORIGINAL:

The HalsteadGPU cluster will be unavailable beginning at Monday, May 14th, 2018 at 8:00am EDT, for scheduled maintenance. Because of concurrent work on the Halstead cluster, this is expected to be down two days, and HalsteadGPU will not return to service until 5:00pm on %enddate%.

During this time, HalsteadGPU will have the default scratch path change to the new scratch filesystem, as explained in the New Halstead Scratch Storage announcement. HalsteadGPU will also have minor operating system security patches and upgrades applied.

Any PBS jobs which request a walltime which would take them past Monday, May 14th, 2018 at 8:00am EDT will not start and will remain in the queue until after the maintenance is completed.
