Dear users,
as just announced on the baobab-announce@ mailing list, we will perform software and hardware maintenance on the Bamboo HPC cluster from December 3 to 5, 2024, starting at 08:00 +0100.
You’ll receive an email when it ends. The cluster will be completely unavailable during this time, with no access at all (not even to retrieve files).
If you submit a job, ensure the expected wall time (duration) doesn’t overlap with the maintenance start, or it will be scheduled afterward. What will be done during this maintenance:
-
Re-install all compute nodes with a new OS major version, Rocky 9. The compute nodes are in Rocky 8 currently.
-
Upgrade Slurm to version 24.05.4
-
Update all servers to the latest security and bugfix releases.
-
Install new hard disks in home and scratch storage as spare
Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, The HPC Team
