Hi RCC Campus Partners,

A hazardous condition was discovered in some of the electrical wiring that feeds part of the HPC.  We are coordinating with the electrician and will send out another notice when they arrive.  This will affect compute nodes in the D30 and D31 racks, but possibly includes others.

This will affect running compute jobs.  We expect this maintenance to take no more than a few hours.  We apologize for any disruption to research this may cause, and will work hard to get the issue resolved quickly.

We will let you know as soon as the maintenance begins.

Best regards,
The RCC Team

Hi RCC Campus Partners,

The electricians have arrived to perform the maintenance, and we are going to shut down the nodes now.   Once again, all jobs running on compute nodes in the D30 and D31 racks (and possibly others)  will be stopped.

We will let you know as soon as the situation is resolved.

Best regards,
The RCC Team

Hi RCC Campus Partners,

Good news!  The repairs have been completed, and, as it turns out, we did not have to interrupt any running jobs in any racks, including D30 and D31.  No HPC jobs were affected.

The problem was that one of the electrical wires feeding our power supply was poorly connected to a breaker, creating a dangerous situation in the Sliger Data Center.  The problem is 100% resolved now.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns (support at rcc.fsu.edu).

Best regards,
The RCC Team

Dear RCC users,

Tropical storm Dorian is currently heading towards Florida and it might
be heading towards Tallahassee for labor day. We will keep a close eye
on this system and act accordingly. Updates will be sent out through
the notice list and the RCC website.

Best,
The RCC Team

Subject: [Hpc-notice] DORIAN Update: Possibility of HPC Cluster shutdown
Message-ID: <DM6PR02MB4233B27208D20B5ED2AE13C7B1A20@DM6PR02MB4233.namprd02.prod.outlook.com>

Hi RCC Campus Partners,

As you know, Hurricane Dorian is threatening the greater Tallahassee area<https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/>.  As a precautionary measure, the ITS Research Computing Center is preparing for all possible scenarios, including a shutdown of the entire HPC cluster.  While we will make every effort to continue service, we want to make you aware of this possibility in case it affects your planning for job submissions.

As meteorologists become more confident in the storm path, RCC staff will make a decision on our action plan.  We will post an update no later than this weekend.

If you have any questions or issues, let us know: support at rcc.fsu.edu

Best regards,
The RCC Team
