    Please be advised that the Regulated (ReD) Environment will be unavailable Monday, September 21, 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

    • make other changes which we'll communicate via our 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

    • If ParallelCluster updates are necessary, all SLURM jobs will be killed and requeued

    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, October 5.
