Maintenance on Galileo COMPLETED: new Galileo in production

Dear Users,

the maintenance operations on GALILEO are completed and the cluster is now open to the production. The stop marked the end of the first phase of the reconfiguration/upgrade of the cluster, please refer to our updated Galileo User Guide for further details on the system specifics. 

We remind you that:

• the environment on the new Galileo (modules, scheduler configuration, etc.) is unchanged
• the data in your $HOME and $WORK directories have been copied to the new storage
• the filesystem with the old $CINECA_SCRATCH is available in read-only mode on two nodes accessible via the new gll_all_transfer partition, at the mount point /gpfs/scratch_old

Please keep in mind that during the first week on the new system the RCM service will not be available. Please also note that, due to the tuning of the storage configuration, in the first weeks of the new production some sporadic, short unavailabilities of the $WORK filesystem might occur and, more in general, further operations may be required in order to bring the cluster in its final configuration.

Best regards

HPC User Support @ CINECA
