The Bell cluster began experiencing issues with scheduler database around 11:35am EST. The problem manifests as freezing and/or "socket timed out" and "Unable to contact slurm controller" error messages upon the usual Slurm commands (squeue, sbatch, etc)
Engineers are currently diagnosing the issue and are working to identify a fix.
We will provide an update by 5pm.
