LCC Scheduled maintenance downtime: 2020-12-14
On January 11 at 8:00 AM EST, LCC will go offline for scheduled routine maintenance.
We estimate that this maintenance window will end on January 12 at 5:00 PM EST,
at which time LCC will be back online and operational. As the maintenance window
approaches, Slurm will start rejecting jobs that cannot finish running by January 11.
If you are confident that your job will finish before January 11 and Slurm
is rejecting it, try lowering your time limit in your job submissions
script with the "-t" option.

During this maintenance window, we also plan to reset the Slurm database,
so all pending jobs at the time of the maintenance window will be lost and
will need to be resubmitted after LCC comes back online.



UPDATE: 2020-03-19 @ 1:30 PM ET

Due to the impacts of COVID-19 outbreak, in response to the guidance from
the administration, all center staff are working remotely from home.
The impact on service delivery is expected to be minimal.
CCS Help and 24/7 hardware monitoring will continue as normal.

All drop-in office hours are cancelled, but we are continuing
virtual consultations via zoom and supporting users through
email at help-hpc@hpc.uky.edu
