Dear Expanse User,

A maintenance is ongoing to update part of the datacenter power infrastructure. This has impacted more Expanse racks than we originally anticipated (due to cooling considerations) and as a result some of the jobs running on Expanse were impacted. The jobs will get a NODE_FAIL error in Slurm so they will not be charged SUs. We will update once the maintenance is complete and the nodes are returned to service. In the interim, Expanse will have fewer available nodes than normal so wait times will likely increase today. We are sorry for the unexpected impact and please send us a ticket (either ACCESS or SDSC ticketing system) if you have any questions.

Thanks
