Abisko batch system server to be upgraded

  • Posted on: 28 April 2016
  • By: admin

The final system to be upgraded is the batch system server.

To do this we need to have the system completely stopped so as to not risk any jobs failing.
We have therefor created a reservation on the whole batch system starting on Monday 2013-12-16 08:00, which means that no jobs are allowed to be running past that point.

I.e. no jobs will be allowed to start unless they have a runtime which guarantees that thay have finished before that time.

Upgrade of Abisko's operating system has now started

We have now started migrating the first 2 racks of nodes to Ubuntu Precise.

The old login node will be stopped after lunch today (2013-11-22) and upgraded.
During the upgrade of the login node we recommend that you use the
abisko-precise.hpc2n.umu.se login node for accessing your files and rebuilding of any programs using new modules and compilers.

As mentioned previously all information is available at /resources/hardware/abisko/os-upgrade

Power failure at HPC2N

We have suffered an extended power failure early in the morning (2013-11-20) and HPC2N resources may have limited or no availability until everything is up and running again.

Update 09:30
Power is now restored.

Update 11:00
Unfortunately the network in the building is still not working properly so everything should still be considered down.

Update 13:55
Power and network are now classified stable again, and login access and clusters are back online.

Due to the storm Hilde, we suffered from a power failure on Sunday morning (2013-11-17 04:59) at the University causing both Akka and Abisko to loose power.
Thus all jobs that where running was lost.

We are currently restarting everything.

Update 12:30
Abisko and Akka are now up and running again.
