Dear MeluXina users,

Please note that there will be a Jira Service Desk Update on Wednesday April 30th at 14:30 CEST for a duration of 1h.

MeluXina is not impacted and jobs can be submitted as usual.

Support can still be reached via email.

Dear MeluXina users,

During the period of May 19-23 a security and reliability update will be carried out on MeluXina. The updates to be performed will be implemented as much as possible in a staged manner in order to minimise the impact on the user experience. However, there will be a moment where the system will not be accessible, and jobs submitted prior to the maintenance window will only start after the maintenance is concluded. Services running on the Cloud module will not be able to start computational jobs. The exact timing of this unavailability during this time period, will be determined later.

The following systems will be updated:

• The compute nodes will be updated to newer OS packages. This process will not impact running user jobs, however the availability of compute nodes during this period may be temporarily reduced.
• The login nodes will be updated to newer OS packages.
• Mellanox OFED will be updated to the latest 24.10 LTS version
• Slurm will be updated to the 24.05 release

Other updates are still being evaluated, and may still be added.

Thank you for your understanding,
The LuxProvide team
