The Rice cluster will be unavailable beginning at Tuesday, November 6th, 2018 at 8:00am EST, for scheduled maintenance. The cluster will return to full production by Tuesday, November 6th, 2018 at 5:00pm.

During this time, Rice will have minor operating system security patches and upgrades applied, as well as some possible work on the scratch storage subsystem.

Any PBS jobs which request a walltime which would take them past Tuesday, November 6th, 2018 at 8:00am EST will not start and will remain in the queue until after the maintenance is completed.
