February 24, 2026 Scheduled Downtime Concluded

To all chip users,

The scheduled downtime for today has concluded. A few compute nodes are still in the "drain" state. This is expected as the system slowly reboots all compute notes not running jobs so that they can "pick up" the updates that have been put into place throughout the day.

Users can resume normal operation of the cluster.

Note that DoIT Research Computing and Data staff are still working to assess and resolve filesystem issues related to RRStor (Ceph) performance, see this posting for details.

As always, remember to submit any issues you notice via a descriptive RT ticket: 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

Thanks for reading,
