<p>Dear Users,</p>
<p>This is a reminder that Marconi cluster will undergo scheduled maintenance operations starting tomorrow on Sept. 26th till Thursday Sept. 28th. All Marconi partitions will be stopped tomorrow at 8 a.m. We expect to bring the cluster back to production on Thursday, Sept 28th, late afternoon. Access to login nodes will not be allowed during maintenance operations.</p>
<p>Above all, the main scheduled operations to be performed during this stop are:</p>
<ul><li>updating OPA to version 10.5</li>
<li>updating GSS to release 3.1d</li>
<li>updating firmware softwares on A1 and A3 nodes</li>
<li>filesystem check on gss_marconi_work</li>
<li>upgrading irqbalance, systemd and sssd package on A3 (bugfixes)</li>
<li>splitting of A2 GPFS cluster into two subclusters (to increase stability)</li>
</ul><p>More updates, if any, will be sent throughout maintenance days via HPC newsletters.</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>
<p>HPC User Support @ CINECA</p>
