Downtime Complete

To all users,

The downtime scheduled for today has been completed. 

Outcomes of Today’s Downtime

  1. Based on the recommendation of SIG-CPU, DoIT RCD Staff have deployed a new “develop” partition that all users can access. You can read more about this in our documentation on chip partitions

  2. DoIT RCD Staff have applied security and software patches to both our chip and RRStor clusters. 

Note that while no running jobs were cancelled, some nodes are still in a “draining” state.

As always, remember to submit any issues you have here: https://rtforms.umbc.edu/rt_authenticated/doit/DoIT-support.php?auto=Research%20Computing

And check out our documentation here: https://umbc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/faq/pages/1082589207/UMBC+HPCF+-+chip

Happy computin’,
