Savio Downtime: 8AM Fri, 6/27 - 5PM Mon, 6/30

We are planning a downtime to conduct storage-related work on DDN and VAST, which is critical for the HPC services. The downtime will start at 8AM on Friday, June 27th. We plan to work over the weekend, anticipating a return to service by 5PM on Monday, June 30th. During the downtime, you will have no access to the Savio cluster or be able to run jobs. A Slurm reservation is in place, so please make sure that you complete your jobs within the proper walltime; otherwise, your jobs will wait in the queues until the downtime is over.
