Savio Downtime: Thurs, 2/20-Fri, 2/21, 2025

DDN engineers will visit the data center to perform cabling work on the Savio parallel file system, which is expected to resolve ongoing filesystem issues. We will shut down the file system at 8:00 AM on Thursday, February 20, and return the service by 5:00 PM on Friday, February 21. 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 be completed before 8 AM on February 20. Otherwise, your jobs will wait in the queue until the cluster is back online.

Globus Returned to Service: Wed, 1/15

Globus is back in production and available to users on Savio.

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.
