Cluster update
by Paul Elliott 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Dear all, Following the cluster failures on Friday we have attempted to replicate the issue over the weekend by loading up all the compute nodes within the cluster to the highest level possible. So far we have not seen any further failures. As such we will shortly return the cluster to service but as the root cause of the original failures are still unknown we may see further sudden and unexpected losses of service. If you submit jobs to the cluster please keep careful track of which jobs you have submitted and ensure that you validate your jobs have run successfully before using any of the output. HP Enterprise (who manufacture and support our hardware) are currently investigating the cause of the failures and we hope to have a full resolution as quickly as possible. Best wishes, Paul. -- Paul Elliott, UNIX Systems Administrator York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York

Cluster issues
by Antony Morland 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hello All, We are having intermittent faults on some of the blades that make up our cluster. Given that jobs submitted can fail and we also want to ensure no damage is done to the cluster, we are taking it off line for the time being. I am very sorry for inconveniences that may arise. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD Head of the Centre for Neuroscience, Hull-York Medical School. Deputy Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Operator cover over the summer
by Antony Morland 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Dear All, As you may already know a new Siemens scanner has been installed. Also, we have hired a new radiographer, Jane. These are both very good pieces of news for the centre. However, over the summer we will need to run acceptance testing procedures on the new scanner and also ensure that our radiographers and other YNiC Staff MRI operators are trained to use the new scanner. The acceptance testing and training will impact on our provision of operator covered slots on the GE system. Over this week and last we have not scheduled operator cover, but have resumed normal operator cover form 18th July. We will give as much notice as we can about reductions in operator cover. If during periods when operator cover is reduced and you need a YNiC to scan, please get in touch with us and we will do our best to fit you in. Thanks for your understanding. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD Head of the Centre for Neuroscience, Hull-York Medical School. Deputy Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

security update
by Ross Devlin 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

Hi all, It would appear that we may have a 'fault' associated with the new extension fire doors. They triggered an alarm at the weekend. Therefore until further notice when locking the department in the evening please do not set the alarm in the MRI corridor. Doors should be locked on the computer as per normal and the alarm should be set in MEG and open plan as usual. I will update you all when normal procedures can be resumed. Ross

security

Hi all, As the builders are no longer on site, we can now lock the MRI corridor and its enclosed offices and set the alarm at night. There are two additional doors which should be 'locked' on the computer system '1st new extension' and '2nd new extension'. Many thanks Ross
