Dear Fimm Cluster Users :

We will have maintenance for fimm cluster from 08:00 ~ 16:00 on 30th May 2011(Monday).

Following will be performed :

* Add extra login node for fimm
* Reinstall cluster compute node
* Cable rearrangement
* Firmware update

During that time you will be able to access login node to perform basic operation, but you will not be able to submit any jobs or check queue status. Some of the file system will not be accessible or unstable during the maintenance.

Entire cluster is reserved for maintenance. All running jobs which will not be able to finish by the time the maintenance starts will be killed. user has to resubmit all killed jobs.

All submitted jobs which will not be able to finish by the time maintenance starts will be queued until the end of maintenance and will start running when maintenance is over.

If you have any further question please contact us at

We are sorry for inconvenience.
