Dear users,
as just announced on the baobab-announce@ mailing list, we will be performing software and hardware maintenance on the Bamboo HPC cluster from 25 to 27 March 2025, starting at 08:00 +0100.
You’ll receive an email when the maintenance is finished. The cluster will be completely unavailable during this time, with no access whatsoever (not even to retrieve files).
When submitting a job, make sure that the expected wall time (duration) doesn’t overlap with the start of the maintenance, or it will be scheduled after. What will be done during this maintenance
-
All compute nodes will be reinstalled with Rocky 9.5
-
Upgrade Slurm to version 24.11.1.
-
Update all servers to the latest security and bugfix releases.
-
Migrate our admin servers and openondemand to our virtual cluster
During the maintenance period we are very busy and provide limited user support.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards, The HPC Team
