Access to /scratch has been restored. https://t.co/WM3w1ltmSu

[ACCRE Vanderbilt @ACCREVandy]

One of the components for /scratch entered a bad state over the weekend. We plan on rebooting in order to clear the issue. To make sure this doesn't impact other parts of the system, we will be taking /scratch offline for 1 hour at 11am this morning. https://t.co/WM3w1ltmSu

The cluster will be be available for normal use at 10:30am this morning. The system remained stable and error free over the weekend. We were also able to catch up on tape backup operations.

@ACCREVandy’s job submission process allows me to run code on large amounts of data (in my case gene expression levels for hundreds of genes in thousands of individuals). While my script is running on the cluster, I can take a nice coffee break with my fellow lab mates! Cheers!

[ACCRE Vanderbilt @ACCREVandy]

We have finished all the work within scope of this scheduled downtime and successfully completed all the system tests. All ACCRE systems are now available. You can monitor system availability here:
