In order to get our new WEKA filesystems up to their best possible performance we need to dedicate some cores on each compute node for exclusive use by WEKA. So on Milan nodes Slurm jobs will only be able to use 126 cores per node rather than 128, and on Genoa nodes 166 rather than 168.
This change has already begun, having already been applied to all of the Milan nodes and the majority of the Genoa nodes. We expect to be doing the last of the Genoa nodes on September 8th.

We are updating OpenStack control components at this time. The public APIs (this impacts Dashboard and CLI clients too) may be unavailable for short periods during this window. There is no impact to existing running cloud infrastructure.

The border switches will have an upgrade applied overnight on Nov 18th from 6pm. Any ssh and external connections to the cluster and OnDemand may get broken during this maintenance. Slurm jobs will be unaffected.
