The maintenance has been successfully completed. Gautschi nodes are now back online and accepting new jobs from the queue.
As part of the resolution process, water-cooled nodes were temporarily shut down. Please review the status of any jobs that were active on these nodes between 12:30 and 1:00 PM on March 5, and restart them if necessary. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact rcac-help@purdue.edu.

Link to original posting ORIGINAL:
We have identified a cooling leak in Gautschi cluster that impacts CPU nodes and are actively working to resolve the issue.
**How does this impact you? ** We have paused job scheduling on the CPU nodes. You can continue to submit jobs to Gautschi nodes, however the jobs will remain queued until after the maintenance is complete.
The cooling leak does not affect Gautschi AI nodes. Therefore, those nodes continue to operate normally.
We will provide additional updates by Thursday, March 5 at 12 pm. Please reach out to rcac-help@purdue.edu if you have any questions or need support.
