Grex system outage on December 18 2023

There is a planned outage on Grex in effect. We are performing a major update of the SLURM scheduler, communication libraries, and minor Linux OS updates for security patching.

We will eboot and reinstall all of Grex compute and login nodes and to migrate the SLURM job database. Thus Jobs that are still running by the time of the outage will be lost, and Grex login nodes will be unavailable during the outage window.

Thank you for your patience! Should you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@tech.alliancecan.ca !
