Scheduled downtime on fimm/filesystems
Due to a necessary re-configuration of the power in the machine room, there will be a downtime of fimm cluster plus filesystems (/migrate, /bcmhsm, /bjerknes*, as well as fimm filesystems /work, /work2, /home).
All running jobs will of course be killed when the nodes are shut down.
The planned downtime is on Monday November 12th from 09:00 to 14:00. It *may* be somewhat shorter if all goes well.
Questions can be sent to support-uib@notur.no
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you.

The scheduled maintenance of the fimm cluster is now (mostly) complete. Please note the following changes:
- Cluster is now running Rocks 4.3 which is based on CentOS 4.5
- Login to fimm.bccs.uib.no now ends up on one of the compute nodes acting as a login node. Currently this is called compute-1-14.
- Compilers are upgraded to Intel 10.0 and PGI 7.0
- Totalview is upgraded to 8.2
- MPI libraries are upgraded and located in /local
- Several libraries and programs in /local is upgraded
All jobs that were waiting on the old queue need to be submitted again into the new queue after the upgrade.
