The ENSL gateway (ssh.ens-lyon.fr) is DOWN, following multiples incidents.

Despite all efforts from ENSL IT (in reduced staffing for the summer), the service will not be restored until 19th of august, at best.

PSMN own gateway (ssh.psmn.ens-lyon.fr) is still working (for now, fingers crossed).

Dear users

During the summer period, the support team will be understaffed, which will slow down resolution of problems.

Creation and/or extension of accounts will be on hold until 26th of august.

Loïs and Jessica, on behalf of PSMN Staff.

An “intervention” will happen today (03-07-2024) on the main ENSL network, at 12h45. There might be some cutoffs occuring.

• REMINDER:
  • starting today:
    • E5 wall time has been reduced to 4 hours walltime
    • new partition E5-short, with 30 minutes walltime
    • new partition E5-long, with 8 days walltime

Please update your submission scripts.

• Also, a proactive RAM replacement operation is ongoing on a bunch of nodes (mostly C6420 on Lake cluster), including cl6226comp[1-2] login nodes, r740bigmem201 (Lake-bigmem) and r740gluster229 (/scratch/Cral on Cascade cluster).

An infiniband switch died this morning (mostly in E5-GPU), cutting off scratches and MPI connections. It has been replaced.

REMINDER:

• starting yesterday:
  • E5 is in DRAIN mode, to be modified:
  • E5 wall time will be reduced to 4 hours walltime
  • new partition E5-short, with 30 minutes walltime
  • new partition E5-long, with 8 days walltime
• starting today (this morning): CANCELLED
  • Lake-flix and Cascade-flix will be in DRAIN mode, to be renamed Lake-premium and Cascade-premium

These modifications might take the entire week (due to draining jobs).

Lake-flix and Cascade-flix will be renamed Lake-premium and Cascade-premium later (probably during mandatory October 2024 shutdown)
