We have a problem on 2 servers for scratches on Cascade cluster : one from /scratch/Cral
, one from /scratch/Cascade
.
They both have a dead infiniband network card. We are waiting for resupply to repair.
Symptoms: Files and/or directories are not available from both /scratch/Cral
or /scratch/Cascade
.
EDIT: We find out, both infiniband cables are dead.
Something went wrong, don't now what yet. On it.
EDIT: Master switch rebooted unexpectidely, killing all network connections between nodes and SIDUS-master ('/' on nodes) → general reboot (in progress) of all nodes, comp & visu.
all running jobs are lost.
EDIT2: expect some delay before everything back to normal…
EDIT3: except a few nodes, back to norminal.
EDIT4: WATCH YOUR JOBS! a large bunch of jobs have been “REQUEUE” by slurm. It may result in “unexpected behaviors”.
A large bunch of Cascade nodes went down (16h15+), probably due to a power spike (large jobs aren't good).
Problem will be handled tomorrow, as no one is on site today.
EDIT 12/12/2023: 4 PSU died, with cascading effects on both nodes and network. Back to norminal.
We are encountering strange network behaviors, and nodes are crashing one after another.
We might need to perform a global reboot of all nodes…
EDIT [09:50]
One of our main NFS server (/applis/PSMN) was stuck in a loop since yesterday evening, blocking all / access.
Things should be back to normal (no global reboot \o/). Jobs may have been blocked doing nothing all night.
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
