[Hpc-notice] HPC scheduler maintenance Nov 19 11-11:30am; minimal impacts

[Casey Mc Laughlin]

Hi HPC users,

On Tuesday, November 19 from 11am to 11:30am, we will update our Slurm scheduler to the latest version, v24.05. Unlike prior software upgrades, the downtime will be minimal. There are some minor impacts to be aware of, though:

  *
The scheduler will not accept new job submissions during the maintenance window. This includes jobs submitted by any automated pre-scheduler scripts that you may be running.
  *
Currently running jobs should not be affected, but you may want to check on them after the maintenance is complete.

Note that this upgrade will apply exclusively to the Slurm controller node, not the compute nodes. The compute nodes will still reflect the current version of Slurm (v23.02.7).

We anticipate upgrading the compute nodes starting no earlier than December 2. The impact of these upgrades will be minimal too.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns: support at rcc.fsu.edu<mailto:support at rcc.fsu.edu>.

Best regards,
The RCC Team
