30/04 - VSC Link briefly down on 6 May
Due to a scheduled migration of the VSC link, connectivity between VUB-HPC and other VSC hubs will be temporarily suspended on 6 May between 9:00 and 10:00. This should not take longer than a few minutes. Jobs running on your home institution clusters are unaffected. Jobs running on remote VSC clusters will also continue to run, unless they require access to $VSC_DATA or $VSC_HOME.
29/04 - Hydra and Sofia security shutdown
10:30 CEST: Access to VSC web services and updates to hpc.vub.be are fully restored. These services have been unavailable for the past two days as the authentication infrastructure behind them required downtime to fully recover from this security vulnerability.
28/04 - VUB-HPC briefly offline on 4 May
Due to a scheduled network maintenance, the VUB-HPC clusters will be temporarily inaccessible on 4 May between 9:00 and 10:00. This should not take longer than a few minutes. Users will be unable to access the clusters during the migration. Running jobs will continue to run, provided they do not require external internet access.
