As part of our efforts to reduce impacts on users during our monthly patching cycle, we're testing a split schedule across two days:
- April 28, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Pacific)
- A suspend/resume will occur for all Aitken, Electra, Endeavour, and Cabeus A100 and V100 nodes.
- Jobs running on these nodes will be suspended at the start time and resumed after the patching is complete.
- The PFEs, AFEs, and CFEs will be unavailable during this time.
- Both sfe7 and sfe8 will be unavailable. Please use sfe6 to access the NAS enclave.
- April 30, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Pacific)
- A suspend/resume will occur for all Cabeus Grace Hopper and Lou nodes.
- Jobs running on these nodes will be suspended at the start time and resumed after the patching is complete.
- The CGHFEs and LFEs will be unavailable during this time.
- sfe6 will be unavailable. Please use sfe7 or sfe8 to access the NAS enclave.
The Athena system and the ATHFEs will be available throughout this patching cycle.
