Thank you CCR users for your patience today. Jobs are running again and Panasas is back. If you're still using this system, PLEASE migrate your workflows to your new scratch directory in /vscratch ASAP. More details about the outage can be found here: ubccr.freshdesk.com/support/discus…

REMINDER!  Today is the day Panasas is being switched to read only mode.  You will no longer be able to write to /panasas/scratch.  If you need to easily move data to your /vscratch directory, we recommend using Globus.  It's very fast and you can start the transfer and let it go

NOTICE: A change freeze on new accounts will be in place 6/18-25. Users will still be able to change passwords, manage SSH keys, and manage two factor authentication. However, new accounts will not be able to be created during this time period. We apologize for any inconvenience

REMINDER! Next Tues 6/25 major changes are coming to CCR systems. Please review the downtime alert for details: ubccr.freshdesk.com/support/discus… #UBHPC #CCRHelp

We appreciate your patience over the next few weeks as we will be very short staffed & you may experience longer wait times for support. See here for more info: ubccr.freshdesk.com/support/discus… #UBHPC #CCRHelp

LAST CALL TO GET YOUR DATA OFF /panasas/scratch! The systems will be offline as of 7am tomorrow (Tuesday, 6/25) and the storage will be retired.

Maintenance is complete! The downtime alert has been updated with additional information.  We encourage you to review it, especially if your jobs are suddenly failing.  Congrats to the CCR sys admin team for completing several projects that have been in the works for 2 years! 🥳

This month's maintenance downtime has been rescheduled to Tuesday, August 6, 2024.  More details can be found here: ubccr.freshdesk.com/support/discus…  At this time, the August downtime is still planned for Tues, 8/27 #UBHPC #CCRHelp

In preparation for Tuesday's downtime we will be doing a network upgrade Monday at 6am. This will cause a momentary outage of external network connectivity to/from CCR's data center (approximately 5 minutes). See here for more details: ubccr.freshdesk.com/support/discus… #UBHPC #CCRHelp

Reminder about downtime and also due to the Slurm upgrade being done, all jobs in the queues for both clusters need to be removed.  Users will need to resbumit their jobs after the maintenance is complete.
