[intrepid-notify] ALCF Weekly Updates - April 7, 2011

[ALCF User Services]

***Intrepid filesystem outages***
On Monday, April 11, the /intrepid-fs0 filesystem will be unavailable between 9 a.m. and noon CDT (15:00 - 17:00 UTC). During this off-cylce outage, we will bring storage online that will be added to the filesystem in the near future. Please contact the Help Desk at support at alcf.anl.gov with any concerns. 

Intrepid's PVFS2 filesystem (/intrepid-fs1) is currently unavailable in order to facilitate ongoing filesystem work. We expect /intrepid-fs1 to be unavailable through the next planned maintenance day, Monday, April 18. For more information, visit: https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/File_Systems#2011_Intrepid_Storage_Changes.

***Reservation Policy Reminder***
Please keep in mind that all reservation requests must be received at least five working days in advance to allow time for scheduling. The complete reservation policy can be viewed here:  https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/Queuing#Reservations.

***User Tip: Job Dependencies***
To submit a job that waits until another job or jobs have completed, use the --dependencies argument to qsub. For example, to submit a job which depends on job 12345, run: $ qsub -q prod -n 512 -t 10 -A yourproject --dependencies 12345 a.out
For more information, see https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/Queuing#Job_dependencies.
