November 2021: Monthly Maintenance Downtime (11/30/21)

Date of downtime: Tuesday, November 30, 2021


Approximate time of outage: 7am-5pm


Resources affected by downtime:

UB-HPC cluster (all partitions) 

Industry cluster (all partitions )

Faculty cluster (all partitions)

Portals: WebMO, OnDemand


What will be done:  

  • Operating system updates and reboot of all cluster nodes, front-end login nodes (vortex1/2, transfer) and OnDemand
  • OnDemand migration to a large virtual machine.  This should help with the reports of slowness we've received of late.


Jobs will be held in queue during the maintenance downtime and will run after the updates are complete.
