Link to original posting ORIGINAL:

The Bell cluster will be unavailable from Monday, January 27th, 2025 at 8:00am EST to Tuesday, January 28th, 2025 at 5:00pm EST for scheduled maintenance.

During this time, RCAC staff will reorganize the data center space for Bell and upgrade its Lustre scratch filesystem.

Any Slurm jobs which request a walltime which would take them past Monday, January 27th, 2025 at 8:00am EST will not start and will remain in the queue until after the maintenance is completed.
