Job Failures Following SLURM Update on Friday

Following the SLURM client software update on Friday, several intel14 nodes erroneously reverted to the previous SLURM version, causing some jobs to fail. This version mismatch is now corrected and should not cause additional job failures. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact us at https://contact.icer.msu.edu/.

Node Updates on Friday, March 11th, at 1:00PM

On Friday, March 11th at 1:00PM, the HPCC's compute nodes will undergo an update to the client component of the SLURM scheduling software. This update is expected to take less than an hour. No new jobs will start during this time. Jobs can still be submitted, and SLURM client commands (e.g. squeue, sacct) will function normally. Interactive jobs queued with salloc may fail following this update. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact us at https://contact.hpcc.msu.…
