PACE is experiencing storage (GPFS) problems
We are experiencing intermittent problems with the GPFS storage system that hosts most of the project directories.
We are working with the vendor to investigate the ongoing issues. At this moment we don’t know whether they are related to yesterday’s power/cooling failures or not, but we will update the PACE community as we find out more.
This issue has potential impact on running jobs and we are sorry for this inconvenience.

PACE datacenter experienced a power/cooling failure
What happened: We had a brief power failure in our datacenter, which took out cooling in racks running chilled water. This impacted about 160 nodes from various queues, with potential impact on running jobs.
Current Situation: Some cooling has been restored, however we had to issue a shut down to a couple of the highest temperature racks that were not cooling down (p41, k30, h43, c29, c42). We are keeping a close eye on the remaining racks that were in the risk area in coordination with the Operations team as they continue to monitor temperatures in these racks.
We will start bringing the down nodes online once the cooling issue is fully resolved.
What can you do: Please resubmit failed jobs (if any) if you were using any of the queues listed below. As always, contact pace-support@oit.gatech.edu for any kind of assistance you may need.
Thank you for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.
