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

Any problem(s): please open a ticket.

Thank you.

Apart for a few expected hiccups, this power outage went smoothly. We are doing our last upgrades on fileservers (which still need a few reboots).

Expected restart this evening, at best tomorrow, we hope.

EDIT:

• gateways are up, access to files should be OK.
• slurmctl is still down/drain, nodes are (still) performing upgrades
