The UVA HPC systems, Afton/Rivanna, will be unavailable for maintenance on Tuesday, Janurary 6, 2026 beginning at 6 am.
All systems are expected to return to service by Wednesday, January 7 at 6 am.
IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE NOTES
What to Expect During Maintenance
Access:
You will not be able to log in or use the HPC systems, including Open OnDemand and FastX.
Jobs:
You can submit jobs until maintenance begins. If the scheduler determines that a job cannot finish before maintenance starts, it will be held in the queue and will automatically start once the system is back online. No jobs will run during maintenance.
Storage:
Research Standard and Research Project storage remain accessible via Globus, Server Message Block (SMB), and Network File System (NFS) mounts, meaning:
-
You cannot access files through the HPC interface during maintenance.
-
You can access files from other systems (e.g., your computer) if mounts are set up.
-
The Data Transfer Node (DTN) stays online for ongoing data transfers via Globus.
System
- The NVIDIA driver will be upgraded to 580.95.05 to support CUDA 13. (The driver is backwards-compatible with older versions of CUDA, so users should not have to rebuild their own codes. Please contact us if you experience any issues.)
