BinAC2: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:19, 8 September 2026

The bwForCluster BinAC 2 supports researchers from the broader fields of Bioinformatics, Astrophysics, Geosciences, Pharmacy, and Medical Informatics.

Status: Upcoming maintenance: 10 September 2026, 10:00-18:00

The mainboard of the Lustre server that caused the latest outage will be replaced.

During this period:

Already running jobs will continue, but file system access will be blocked as long as the server is down.
No new jobs will start during the maintenance period.
Jobs running when maintenance begins will get a wall time bonus to prevent data loss due to premature termination of job scripts.
Access to WORK and PROJECT from the login nodes will also hang.
We hope that all clients reconnect as soon as the server is brought back so that I/O will continue smoothly.
You might suffer data loss if your job uses timeouts for I/O operations and does not wait until the file system comes back.

Status: Upcoming maintenance: 17 September 2026, 08:00 - 18 September 2026, 17:00

The University of Tübingen will conduct a campus-wide emergency power test. To prevent any risk of damage, the entire BinAC 2 cluster will be shut down during this test.

During this period:

We will use this downtime to update BinAC 2 nodes.
No jobs that would run into the maintenance window will be started.
Jobs finishing before the downtime begins can still be executed.
