On January 5 from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST the Discovery cluster will be unavailable while maintenance is performed. Maintenance will include a slum update to 21.08.5 (bug fixes) as well as to the Cent OS package (bug fixes only; kernel will not be updated).

Within this maintenance window, the Discovery cluster will be unavailable, including resources such as the the web portal (ood.discovery.neu.edu), data storage (/home, /scratch, /work), and PI-owed partitions.

To prepare for this maintenance, please be mindful of long-running jobs on Discovery. If attempting to submit a job that might run into the start of the maintenance window, the job will fail or return an error. To avoid disruption, update the jobs srun or sbatch script with the --time= option set to an amount of time where the job will complete before the start of maintenance.
