November maintenance window closed

The service on Wednesday 6nd of November will begin at 09:00 CET. Rackham, Snowy, Irma, Bianca, Grus, Castor and the UPPMAX Cloud will receive the usual system bug fixes and security updates. The clusters will be upgraded from Slurm 19.05.2 to Slurm 19.05.3. This is a minor upgrade an no queues will be stopped.

The physical compute nodes in the UPPMA Cloud will be rebooted. All active VMs running after 09:00 CET will be powered off. This is a step in the solution to the VM boot issues that we have worked on the last few weeks.

All disturbances while the service window remains open should be assumed as related to the service window and await contacting the support. If the problems remain after the service window has been closed you are of course welcome to contact the support at support@uppmax.uu.se.

You can follow our progress on this page throughout the day.
