The Bell cluster will be unavailable Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at 8:00am EST for scheduled maintenance. During this time, our Engineering team will be working with vendor representatives to fine-tune performance of the Bell scratch filesystem and finalize the cluster's internal configuration.

Both cluster front-ends and compute nodes will not be accessible during the maintenance. Any SLURM jobs which request a walltime which would take them past Wednesday, November 11th, 2020 at 8:00am EST will not start and will remain in the queue until after the maintenance is completed.
