Dear Fimm cluster and Grunch server users:

Fimm cluster and grunch server will have downtime 25th August from 09:00 to 16:00.

During this downtime we will perform hardware firmware update, internal and external switch firmware update.

For Grunch server except hardware firmware update we will also enable quota on grunchfs.


We will also update slurm version to 16.05.4 on fimm.hpc.uib.no.

Both fimm.hpc.uib.no and grunch.bccs.uib.no will not be accessible during this downtime.

We will keep all process updated on this page.

Please contact hpc-support@hpc.uib.no  if you have any questions.


26/08/2016 09:40 Update:  Firmware update is done on internal and external switches.  Slurm is updated on fimm.hpc.uib.no and Grunch firmware is also updated. Currently we are working on quota on grunchfs, which needs to scan whole file system, this will take some time before we can make gruncfs available for users on grunch server.


26/08/2016 10:40 Update: Grunch quota is enabled, and grunch server is online again.
