Newer messages at the top.

• /home/temp temporarily unavailable: overfilled (again) and crashed. Now under maintenance. Added another 4TB but it will crash again when overfilled

• ophfe2 is now reinstalled on new HW; please test it and report issues (if any)

• Direct login to frontend nodes have been disabled, use Bastion service; nothing changed for connections from internal network (wired or AlmaWifi)

• 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 .

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

Old (pre-august) backups of data in /scratch will be deleted on 2023-11-27 . If you have very important data, verify before the deadline.

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

/home/temp filesystem is currently offline for technical issues. Trying to reactivate readonly access ASAP.

11:05 UPDATE: /home temp is now available in readonly mode. Please archive the data you need to keep, the filesystem will be wiped soon.

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/ .

VSCode is bringing login node to a halt. Use it on your client and transfer the files.

/scratch is now available, but readonly and only from the login nodes.

Verify the archived data. Usually you'll find a file.tar for every directory. Associated to that file you can also find

• file-extra.tar with files that were deleted only from one replica (they prevented removing “empty” folders“). Probably you can safely delete these.
• file-extra2.tar contains files that are (most likely, but not always) dupes of the ones in file.tar

Backups will be deleted before 2023-12-20 (precise date TBD), so be sure to verify your data ASAP: once the backups are deleted there will be no way to recover.
