There will be a maintenance on Hexagon on October, 20th from 9:00. We are planning to finish by the end of the same day.
Queue system has reservation in place. It will not allow to run jobs which will not finish before the maintenance start.
During this maintenance slot we will:
  • Apply Cray SW patches to improve stability, especially of the /work filesystem.
  • Add qsub filter, it will replace email notifications when the job can’t start or has suboptimal parameters and instead it will provide output to terminal when one submits the job.
P.S. During the maintenance /work-common will not be available on GRUNCH and FIMM.


Update: 2015-10-20 09:00 - Scheduled maintenance has started.
