Dear Phoenix researchers,
The fifth phase of Phoenix Slurm Migration has been successfully completed – all nodes are back online, with 100 more compute nodes joining the Phoenix-Slurm cluster. We have successfully migrated about 1200 nodes (out of about 1319) from Phoenix to the Phoenix-Slurm cluster.
As a reminder, the final phase of the migration is scheduled to complete later this month, during which the remaining 119 nodes will join Phoenix-Slurm:
- Phase 6: January 31, 2023 (PACE Maintenance Period) – remaining 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 this Friday, January 20th @ 11am-12pm via Zoom. Torque/Moab will no longer be available to Phoenix users starting 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

We do not expect there to be any impact to other nodes or jobs on the Phoenix or Phoenix-Slurm clusters.
WHO IS AFFECTED?
All Phoenix cluster users.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
As recommended at the beginning of the migration, we strongly encourage all researchers to continue shifting their workflows to the Slurm 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.
WHO SHOULD YOU CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS?
Please email us or join a PACE Consulting Session if you have any questions or need assistance migrating your workflows to Slurm.
