Savio Cluster Returned to Service: Tues, 1/14

The Data Center work at Warren Hall has completed, and the Savio HPC services (login and compute nodes and OOD) are now back online except for Globus. We are still working on fixing some issues with Globus. You may use the DTN to transfer data until Globus is back. Please see the data transfer instructions using the Savio DTN in our documentation at https://docs-research-it.berkeley.edu/services/high-performance-computing/user-guide/data/transferring-data/ . The Slurm reservation has also been removed, and user jobs have resumed.

Savio Downtime: Sun, 1/12 at 5pm

Savio HPC services will be turned off to accommodate the Data Center work at Warren Hall scheduled for Monday, 1/13. We plan to turn off Savio resources at 5pm on Sunday, 1/12, and return them by 5pm on Tuesday, 1/14. A Slurm reservation is in place to prevent jobs from running during the downtime. If you plan to submit jobs, please request proper walltime for them to complete before the downtime starts at 5pm on Sunday. Otherwise, your jobs will wait in the queue until the cluster is back online.
