About Submitted Jobs

Jobs that are already started are not affected.
However, since you cannot access the login node, you will not be able to submit new jobs, check their status, or delete them.
You must use CIFS to access the execution results.
After the service resumes, ssh access to compute nodes and connecting to existing jobs on Open OnDemand will not be available for existing jobs. 

Regarding Reservations During the Service Outage

For node reservations, jobs that have already been submitted started prior to 3:30 PM to existing reservations will be executed. We will contact you individually after service resumes regarding compensation for any jobs that could not be submitted or modified during the service outage.
Reservations that start before 5 PM on May 1 will be affected by this maintenance stop.
The list of AR-IDs of affected reservations will be posted by the end of Mar 1. Communication about compensation will happen after May 7.
