[Hpc-notice] Software upgrade has begun

[Casey Mc Laughlin]

Hello HPC and Spear users,

We have begun the process of upgrading the software on the login, compute, and Spear nodes in the HPC cluster.

As of this afternoon, we have brought one login node offline to upgrade. Once we are sure that it is working well, we will then upgrade the other two login nodes. We have also begun upgrading the compute nodes starting with the oldest nodes in the cluster.

As of now, the owner nodes remain fully functional. We will post another update before we set those nodes to "drain" (not accept new jobs). As a reminder, at least half of the owner nodes will remain online at any given time.

Details are on our web site at: https://rcc.fsu.edu/news/2021-software-upgrade-august-16-20.

If you have any questions or comments, please let us know: support at rcc.fsu.edu<mailto:support at rcc.fsu.edu>.

Best regards,
The RCC Team
