Service Status

Description

OIT Network Engineering will be performing maintenance on the eduroam and GTother wireless networks on Tuesday, August 11th, from 6:00am to 7:00am. During this time, users in affected buildings (see list below) may be disconnected and not see the networks in their device's network manager for approximately ten minutes. Once the maintenance is complete, most devices will automatically re-connect to their previous network without any user interaction. Some devices may require a reboot, or disabling and re-enabling the wireless network adapter to re-connect. This maintenance will not impact other LAWN networks including GTvisitor and Wired LAWN - those networks will remain operational throughout the maintenance. If you need network connectivity during this maintenance, you may wish to utilize one of the other LAWN networks to prevent any interruption. Up-to-date progress will be provided on Georgia Tech’s IT Service Status page, http://status.gatech.edu. After the maintenance is complete, individual users may visit http://services.gatech.edu to report any issues believed to be related to this maintenance. Campus IT staff who need to report time sensitive issues affecting multiple people and/or departments and require more immediate assistance should also contact OIT’s Infrastructure Operations Center at 404-894-4NOC (4662).

Description

WHEN IS IT HAPPENING? PACE's next Maintenance Period starts at 6:00AM on Tuesday, 8/11/2026, and is tentatively scheduled to conclude by 11:59PM on Friday, 8/14/2026. PACE will release each cluster (Phoenix, Firebird, and ICE) as soon as maintenance work is complete. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO? As usual, jobs with resource requests that will not complete prior to the Maintenance Period will not be allowed to start until after maintenance is done. During this Maintenance Period, access to all PACE-managed compute systems (Phoenix, Firebird, and ICE) and all storage locations except for CEDAR will be unavailable. Please plan accordingly for the projected downtime. WHAT IS HAPPENING? ITEMS REQUIRING USER ACTION/AWARENESS: [ICE] Delete all PENDING Slurm jobs Inexecutable jobs accumulate each semester. Clearing out these pending jobs helps maintain scheduler health. Users that had jobs in the pending state prior to maintenance may need to resubmit. [ICE] Update Firewall rules to require VPN from eduroam, matching Phoenix All users will continue to have access to ICE using the GlobalProtect VPN client and users on wired connections in campus buildings (e.g., computer labs) will continue to have direct access to the login and Open OnDemand nodes without the need of a VPN. Users connecting via eduroam or from dorms will be required to use VPN where they previously did not. Use of the clientless/browser-based VPN is not recommended when using PACE services. [Phoenix] Reconfigure Phoenix scratch Lustre device. To reconfigure the device, all scratch data needs to temporarily be migrated to different storage device. Data will be migrated back in the October maintenance period. While no action is necessary, users are reminded to not store difficult to reproduce or otherwise important files in scratch. [all] Upgrade GPU drivers For V100 and RTX6000 models: nvidia-driver: 575.57.08; cuda: 12.9 For all other models: nvidia-driver: 595.71.05; cuda: 13.3 ITEMS NOT REQUIRING USER ACTION: [all] Commission a new cooling loop for the Enterprise Hall [all] Upgrade storage systems versions [all] Upgrade IB firmware [all] Upgrade to Slurm 26.05.2 [all] Modify client login to remove warning triggered by OpenSSH 10+ [ICE] Clean out unused accounts [all] Updates to all operating systems WHY IS IT HAPPENING? Regular maintenance periods are necessary to reduce unplanned downtime and maintain a secure and stable system. WHO IS AFFECTED? All users across all PACE clusters. WHO SHOULD YOU CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS? Please contact PACE at pace-support@oit.gatech.edu with questions or concerns. You may read this message on https://status.gatech.edu/ and on https://pace.gatech.edu/pace-announcements-blog/. Thank you, The PACE Team
