Pitagora: three days scheduled maintenance on April 14th-16th

Dear Users,
this is to inform you that Pitagora will be out of production for an important firmware upgrade which will enable the GPU Direct RDMA support on the Booster partition. The upgrade affects the communication transport layers, and it will be applied to both Booster and DCGP partitions. The operations are expected to last for three days, from Tuesday, April 14th to Thursday, April 16th. The downtime will start at the morning of the first day, and we expect to bring the cluster back to production within the afternoon of the final day.
The login nodes and the datamover service will not be available during the first period of maintenance.

Best regards,

HPC User Support @ CINECA
