Mon, 7/20/2026: Urgent Security Update: Immediate Rolling Reboot of Savio Clusters (July 20, 2026 — In Progress Today)

We need to perform an urgent operating system security update. We are starting the emergency reboot immediately today (July 20, 2026). To minimize impact on currently running jobs, we will reboot the clusters in a rolling manner, updating and rebooting components sequentially rather than all at once. Despite our efforts to minimize impact, if your job is interrupted during the update window, we recommend rescheduling it using checkpoint files if your workflow supports checkpoint/restart. We are expecting to complete the process today, and we will update you when the reboot is complete. For any questions or concerns, please contact us at brc-hpc-help@berkeley.edu. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
