+<WRAP center round info>
+To report issues, please write **only** to difa.csi@unibo.it including a clear description of the problem ("my job doesn't work" is __not__ a clear description but is what we usually receive...), including jobID, misbehaving node(s), steps to reproduce, etc.

+===== 2025 =====
+==== 2025-03-31 ====
+  * <del>We're experiencing issues with logins on bastion-nav from domain STUDENTI.</del> Fixed
+==== 2025-03-27 ====
+  * <del>/scratch and many nodes are currently down due to technical issues. We're working on it.</del> [9.00] Everything appears OK
+==== 2025-01-13 ====
+  * /archive is now **read-only** to avoid potential data loss during cluster move
+===== 2024 =====
+==== 2024-12-18 ====
+  * Power sources are redundant again. There shouldn't be unexpected shutdowns till the "big one" on 2025-01-15
+==== 2024-12-17 ====
+  * Possibly unstable power source: rotative unit failed yesterday and is being worked on by CNAF. Some nodes powered off and have been restored. Uptime is currently not guaranteed in case of blackout.
+==== 2024-11-04 ====
+  * Started cleanup of /home/work : everything outside sectors folders is being moved inside the (hopefully) correct folder: might bring the sector folder over-quota -- just clean up (delete unneeded, move to /scratch or /archive)!
+==== 2024-10-30 ====
+  * <del>Slurm is experiencing an unexpected misbehaviour and does not accept job sumbissions: we're already working on it</del> Reverted a problematic change, more tests required
+  * mtx18 detected a problem with a DIMM module: powered off for HW checkup
+  * /home/temp is being decommissioned: data have already been moved to /scratch
+==== 2024-10-22 ====
+  * :!: <wrap hi>Tomorrow</wrap> nodes mtx[30-40] will be temporarily shut down for maintenance; jobs running on those nodes will be aborted without further notice
+==== 2024-10-17 ====
+  * Started transfer from /home/temp to /scratch of all the remaining files: /home/temp/sector/name.surname -> /scratch/sector/name.surname/name.surname (note the doubling of name.surname to avoid clashes with existing files)
+  * <wrap hi>automatic deletion</wrap> from /scratch is being worked on: all files older than **40 days** will be deleted automatically very soon, archive what you ned to keep! There will be <wrap hi>**__no way to recover deleted files__**</wrap>!
+==== 2024-10-03 ====
+  * test e-mail
+==== 2024-09-16 ====
+  * Completed data copy from /scratch/archive to /archive
+  * /archive is now available readwrite from frontends and <wrap hi>readonly from nodes</wrap>
+  * remember that quota on /archive is both about data size (20TB per sector) and inodes (max 10k files/dirs per sector)<WRAP center round important 60%>
+A "disk full" error means that one of the two limits have been reached.
+</WRAP>
+  * the data size can be checked by using 'ls -lh' on the parent directory, number of files requires a ''find path/to/dir | wc -l'' (:!: slow :!:)
+==== 2024-09-10 ====
+  * /scratch should now be stable (<del>hopefully</del>) UPDATE: NOPE, only partially accessible
+  * /scratch/archive is now offlined to allow migration to new storage
+==== 2024-09-09 ====
+  * /scratch is temporarily unavailable: we are working to restore the access. //UPDATE//: the issue has been fixed now so /scratch is usable again.
+==== 2024-08-19 ====
+  * /home/temp reactivated: it crashes when overfilled! => <wrap hi>stop using /home/temp and migrate your data to /scratch</wrap> ASAP
+  * still testing /archive, it should become available soon (aiming to have it ready this week if no new issues arise)
+==== 2024-06-10 ====
+  * new nodes for ECOGAL, RED-CARDINAL and ELSA projects are now available (mtx[33-40]), but they are currently without InfiniBand connection
+  * ophfe3 is now available for regular use
+==== 2024-06-10 ====
+  * mtx03 is now OK
+  * all data from old /scratch should now be available under /scratch**/archive**, including many files that were unavailable or even deleted: <wrap hi>check for duplicates/unneeded files and clean up</wrap>! Currently there's no quota, but **quota will be enforced when moving data to /archive**!
+==== 2024-06-03 ====
+  * switched /scratch from GlusterFS to BeeGFS (SSD-backed):
+    * can now be used for jobs as a (faster) replacement for /home/temp
+    * data from old /scratch is now under /scratch/archive (transfer is still proceeding)
+    * **do not write** under /scratch/archive
+    * auto-deletion in not active (yet)
+  * mtx03 is having hardware issues and will be down for some time
+==== 2024-05-28 ====
+  * ophfe3 is currently reserved for file transfer, login is not allowed: you can use ophfe1 and ophfe2
+  * <WRAP round important>Planned maintenance starting on 2024-06-03T08:00:00 : details in following items</WRAP>
+  * data is currently being copied from /scratch to the new temporary storage that will be under /scratch/archive
+  * planned maintenance should be completed in 2h from the start, so the cluster will be useable on 2024-06-03 at 10am with new mounts
+  * this maintenance only affects /scratch area: /home is not touched (but the sooner you migrate your data from /home/temp/DDD to /scratch/DDD the sooner your jobs gets sped up)
+  * if you don't find something from current /scratch/DDD in new /scratch/archive/DDD you can write to difa.csi@unibo.it to ask for an extra transfer (sync would happen anyway, if you can wait some days)
+  * /archive (the current /scratch) will be **empty** for some time, then it will undergo its own migration to a different architecture and /scratch/archive will be moved there
+==== 2024-05-24 ====
+  * New filesystem layout is being **__tested__ on OPHFE3**. What was /scratch is now mounted on /archive and the new (fast) scratch area is mounted in /scratch
+<WRAP center round important 60%>
+Please do not use /scratch on ophfe3 or consider your data **gone**!
+</WRAP>
+==== 2024-05-06 ====
+  * /home/temp temporarily unavailable: overfilled (again) and crashed. <del>Now under maintenance.</del> Added another 4TB but **it will crash again when overfilled** :!:
+==== 2024-04-16 ====
+  * ophfe2 is now reinstalled on new HW; please test it and report issues (if any)
+==== 2024-04-09 ====
+  * <WRAP important>
+Direct login to frontend nodes have been disabled, [[oph:cluster:access#step_1connecting_to_the_cluster|use Bastion service]]; nothing changed for connections from internal network (wired or AlmaWifi)
+</WRAP>
+  * ophfe2 is going to be reinstalled: please leave it free ASAP; once reinstalled it will change its IP address from 50.177 to 50.72 .
+==== 2024-04-05 ====
+  * Deployed new authorization config: please promptly report eventual slowdowns or other problems to difa.csi@unibo.it .
+  * Bastion (137.204.50.15) is already working and direct access to ophfe* nodes is being phased out. Usually you only need to add "-J name.surname@137.204.50.15" to the ssh command you're using.
+==== 2024-03-12 ====
+  * **New frontend available**: a new frontend can be reached at 137.204.50.71
+  * Frontend at 137.204.50.177 is now **deprecated** and will be removed soon, to be replaced by a newer one at 137.204.50.72
+==== 2024-02-21 ====
+  * 11.50 Outage resolved.
+  * 06:30 Cluster operation is currently stopped due to a slurmctld error (daemon is not listening to network connections). I'm working to try to resolve the outage ASAP.

 Tentatively re-enabled read/write mode for /home/temp . **Archive and delete** old data before starting new writes!

 New login node available: ophfe3 (137.204.50.73) is now usable.
 slurmtop is now in path, so no need to specify /home/software/utils/ .
