Savio scheduled downtime: Tues, 1/31
We have scheduled a downtime starting at 8AM Tuesday, January 24 to add new DDN shelves to the /global/scratch for future buy-in expansions. The downtime is estimated to last less than one day. A scheduler reservation is in place to ensure there are no jobs running during this time so if you submit jobs, please request proper walltime for those jobs to complete before the downtime.
