Dear Phoenix researchers,
The fourth phase of migration has been successfully completed – all nodes are back online, with 100 more compute nodes joining the Phoenix-Slurm cluster. We have successfully migrated 1100 nodes (out of about 1319) from Phoenix to the Phoenix-Slurm cluster.
As a reminder, the final phases of the migration are scheduled to continue in January 2023, during which the remaining 219 nodes will join Phoenix-Slurm:
- Phase 5: January 17, 2023 – 100 nodes
- Phase 6: January 31, 2023 (PACE Maintenance Period) – about 119 nodes
We strongly encourage all researchers to shift their workflows to the Slurm-based cluster. PACE provides documentation and consulting sessions to support the smooth transition of your workflows to Slurm. Our next PACE Slurm orientation is scheduled for Friday, January 20th @ 11am-12pm via Zoom. Torque/Moab will no longer be available to Phoenix users on January 31st, at 6 AM ET.
PACE will be following up with additional updates and reminders in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime, please contact us with any questions or concerns about this transition.
Best,
-The PACE Team

Dear Phoenix researchers,
Just a reminder that the fourth phase of will start today, January 4th, during which 100 additional nodes will join the Phoenix-Slurm cluster.
The 100 nodes will be taken offline now (6am ET), and we do not expect there to be any impact to other nodes or jobs on Phoenix-Slurm.
We will follow up with additional updates and reminders as needed. In the meantime, please email us if you have any questions or concerns about the migration.

Dear Phoenix researchers,
We have successfully migrated about 1000 nodes (out of about 1319 total) from Phoenix to the Phoenix-Slurm cluster. As a reminder, the fourth phase is scheduled starting tomorrow, January 4th, during which 100 additional nodes will join the Phoenix-Slurm cluster.
The 100 nodes will be taken offline tomorrow morning (January 4th) at 6am ET, and we do not expect there to be any impact to other nodes or jobs on Phoenix-Slurm.
As recommended at the beginning of this migration, we strongly encourage all researchers to begin shifting over their workflows to the Slurm-based side of Phoenix to take advantage of the improved features and queue wait times. We provide helpful information for the migration in our documentation and will provide a PACE Slurm Orientation on Friday, January 20th @ 11am-12pm via Zoom.
Please email us or join a PACE Consulting Session if you have any questions or need assistance migrating your workflows to Slurm.
Best,
– The PACE Team
