The majority of the Research Computing computational resources will be unavailable July 30, 2021 7:00am - August 1, 2021 12:00pm EDT for a whole-floor downtime due to electrical power work in MATH and POD data centers. Along with a required preventative maintenance, the work will provide power equipment upgrades necessary to house the upcoming NSF-funded Anvil supercomputer.
| Start time | End Time | Resources |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, July 30th, 2021 at 7:00am | Sunday, August 1st, 2021 at 12:00pm EDT | Brown, Hammer, Weber |
| Saturday, July 31st, 2021 at 7:00am | Sunday, August 1st, 2021 at 12:00pm EDT | Bell, CMS, Halstead, Geddes, Gilbreth, Scholar, Workbench |
| Not affected | Data Depot, WSC, WCERES, customer VMs and servers |
All systems will return to full production by Sunday, August 1st, 2021 at 12:00pm EDT.
Any SLURM jobs which request a walltime which would take them past the above times will not start and will remain in the queue until after the maintenance is completed.
