[Hpc-notice] Maintenance downtime scheduled December 3 - December 7

[Casey Mc Laughlin]

Hi HPC users,

We are planning an upgrade to the HPC software stack between Sunday, December 3 and Thursday, December 7, 2023. During this time, the High Performance Computing cluster will be offline and unavailable for use. As maintenance progresses, some services may come back online prior to December 7.

We are upgrading the operating system on the compute cluster from CentOS8.3 to AlmaLinux 8.6, and the Slurm job scheduler from v20.11 to v23.02.


The following services will be offline during the maintenance period:

  *   High Performance Computing Cluster (HPC)
  *   Open OnDemand
  *   Spear Nodes

HPC Parallel storage (GPFS) will continue to be available, but access through the HPC login nodes will be unavailable. Users will instead need to use the storage export node (export.rcc.fsu.edu<https://docs.rcc.fsu.edu/storage/data-transfer>).


The following services will be unaffected by the maintenance.

  *   Archival Storage
  *   Virtual Machines
  *   Data Center Services / Academic Colocation

More details are on our news article: its.fsu.edu/article/2023-rcc-software-upgrade-announcement<https://its.fsu.edu/article/2023-rcc-software-upgrade-announcement>.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this maintenance. You can email us at support at rcc.fsu.edu<mailto:support at rcc.fsu.edu>.

Best regards,
The RCC Team
