    Maintenance is still ongoing while we make adjustments to Parallel Cluster and OpenOndemand; and the RES v2026.03 is still in progress.

    We appreciate you patience while we finish this work and test thoroughly all the things, as we wish your work to proceed relatively effortlessly.

    Please be advised that the Regulated (ReD) Environment will be unavailable Tuesday, September 8, 2026 from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET, due to scheduled maintenance activities.  During this time, we will: 

    • perform important OS updates to shared infrastructure servers

    • rebuild and redeploy scientific software containers

    • update the reference operating system for the Linux cluster compute nodes

    • publish updated software stacks for Research & Engineering Studio (RES) Linux and Windows VDI sessions

    • and make other changes which we'll communicate via our ReD L4 SharePoint maintenance email notice

    This maintenance will also see the following major changes: 

    • RES will be upgraded (to v2026.03), requiring termination of all VDI sessions

    • RES network volume/file shares will be redeployed, resulting in changes in login information

    • All SLURM jobs will be killed and requeued due to ParallelCluster updates

    We may adjust this list as the feasibility of each item is ironed out within the next several days.

    Thank you for the opportunity to serve your regulated research computing needs.

    Respectfully,
    The Regulated Data Team

    As a reminder, regularly scheduled maintenance for the Regulated (RED) environment occurs on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. Our next scheduled maintenance is Monday, September 21.
