Amarel users,

We are experiencing a degradation in network connectivity between Amarel cluster nodes. As a result you may see some lags and slow responsiveness from a cluster.

Access to /home, /projects, and /scratch spaces are limited at the moment and some running jobs, including Open on Demand desktops may fail due to lost of connectivity. Please monitor your currently running jobs.

It is highly advisable to refrain from submitting new jobs till further notice.

Our tech team is investigating and working on mitigation of the problem.

Sorry for inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
