Status and Service Updates

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.

Our weekly office hours are closed during the winter break and will resume on Wednesday, 1/18. We will keep our regular hours on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30-3pm and Thursday mornings from 9:30-11am. We are available via email to help in the meantime.
