On Tuesday 26th January there will be a mandatory fire suppression test being carried out in the same room as the Balena HPC system. We need to treat this as a potential risk of power outage to the data centre and therefore we will need to place the entire cluster into a maintenance mode during this period. This means that the Balena cluster will not be available for service on the 26th January.<\/p>\n
We will require all users will to log out of Balena before 07:00am on the 26th January. You will not need to dequeue any workloads already in the cluster, a maintenance reservation has been scheduled to prevent any workloads from running during this period.<\/p>\n
We will be taking this opportunity to perform a couple disruptive tasks, such as performing a full headnode failover, to ensure the cluster is in full working order.<\/p>\n
I shall send around a reminder about this next week. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.<\/p>\n
