• Did you know you can use flix partitions ?

Lake-flix and Cascade-flix are open to everybody, for short duration (no longer than 2 days is best, but standard walltime apply) small parallel and sequential jobs, with requeue in case of high priority jobs (see documentation)

example:

#SBATCH --partition=Lake,Lake-flix
# or
#SBATCH --partition=Cascade,Cascade-flix

• /Xnfs/abc volume has been moved and is usable

The /Xnfs/abc volume will be moved to a new server Thursday 16th of November, in the morning.

Any nf (NextFlow) running at that time might need a restart if crashed.

A disk on data8 (main CRAL fileserver) was… not well. After a good hammer blow, all export were restarted.

homes and exports may have been unavailable for a few moments.

• new scratch/Cascade is (finally) available
• Lake-flix and Cascade-flix are open to everybody, for short duration (no longer than 2 days is best) small parallel and sequential jobs, with requeue in case of high priority jobs (see documentation)

We are restarting slowly:

• E5, E5-GPU, Epyc are “ALL GREEN”
• Lake cluster
  • with a new partition Lake-flix, with preemption mode, doc has been updated
  • c6420nodes are still in upgrade progress (this is taking waaaay too long)
• Cascade cluster
  • new scratch/Cascade is unavailable (cable/card IB problem)
  • with a new partition Cascade-flix, with preemption mode, doc has been updated
