Power to the HPCC Centre restored

Manitoba Hydro had restored power to Campus, and Grex is back online. All running and queued jobs were lost during the outage. We have used the opportunity to update SLURM scheduler to the current major version 24.11 . All Grex subsystems (compute, storage, login nodes and Web portal) are operational.
