ASA-X Scheduled Maintenance May 2026

There will be a maintenance shutdown of the ASA-X system May 11-16.  

Changes during this shutdown include;

* Upgrade Rocky Linux from version 9.3 to version 9.7.

* A critical bug fix patch to the Vdura shared file system.

* Various software updates and security patches.

Any jobs that cannot complete before the shutdown will be held pending.  We do not expect to preserve the pending job list, so any jobs that were pending when the system was shutdown may have to be resubmitted after the shutdown is complete.

Any files left in the /scratch directory or /scratch-local directory will be erased as part of this work.

If there are any questions or concerns, please address them to the HPC technical staff at hpc@asc.edu.
