*** UPDATE 2022-02-24 11:20 ***
The problem with the storage system have been solved and the access nodes are available again and the file system works as normal.

Some jobs might have been aborted due to the long delay in the storage system and will need to be restarted by the users one more time,

*** UPDATE 2022-02-24 12:30 ***

Dear users,

During this maintenance, 2021-11-15 06:00 - 2021-11-17 17:00, we’re going to do some upgrades on the parallel file system, where home directories and project storage is located, along with other upgrades on Kebnekaise itself.

Since this maintenance affects the parallel file system we have to drain the batch nodes from running jobs. Login sessions will be disabled and active sessions will be terminated, during that period.

The batch queues on Kebnekaise are stopped, therefor no new jobs will be allowed to start.

We are working with resolving the problem in contact with our vendor, we will post updates here when we have more information

UPDATED 15:15 Issues now solved, system is now working normally again

The thinlinc server at HPC2N is being upgraded and it is currently not available for service.

We should be finished before 2021-10-05 14:00

*UPDATE 2021-10-05 09:25*

Upgrade is done, if you notice any problems using thinlinc, try ticking the "End existing session" box in the thinlinc connection window.

Problem med servern som innehåller Slurm controllern gör att job inte går att starta eller avbrytas sen 11.30 idag

Felsökning pågår

***Updated 2021-07-07 14:27 ***

The problems with the Slurm controller server has been solved and it has been stable for 1 hour now

Problems with project storage, mkdir fails and new directories cannot be created

The exact cause is not known but we are doing active debugging together with our vendor. During the debugging we have blocked the starting of new batch jobs. You can still submit jobs but they will not start until the problem is solved.

The problem was finially identified and a workaround put in place.

The system is now back in production.
