Maintenance on Pawsey systems will be carried out on Tuesday the 1st September to apply required patches and updates to improve the systems stability, security, and performance. This maintenance window will also be used to undertake other tasks which require down-time to achieve.
Planned work for this window includes: • Patching of visualisation services will be undertaken • Mediaflux server will have the latest bug and security fixes from Rocky Linux • Finalisation of the control plane of Acacia Ingest • Acacia compliance runs • Banksia's servers will have the latest bug and security fixes from Rocky Linux • Banksia will be upgraded to the latest version of ScoutAM • Patching of core Pawsey services will be undertaken • Setonix will have the latest bug and security fixes from SLES 15 applied • Setonix will be upgraded to a supported version of Slurm • ASKAP Ingest will have the latest bug and security fixes from SLES 15 applied • ASKAP Ingest will be upgraded to a supported version of Slurm
With the Slurm upgrade there are changes in how Slurm allocates resources for jobs running on GPU nodes. As a result, researchers need to update their job submission scripts to ensure continued compatibility. Please read through the documentation page prepared by Pawsey staff (https://pawsey.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/US/pages/1965031425/SLURM+25.11.7+changes).
