Hi all,
This Friday evening from 9pm we will be upgrading several parts of key
infrastructure at YNiC. During the work no YNiC services will be
available. We expect the maintenance to be completed by the early hours
of Saturday morning.
Thanks, Paul.

Hi all,
Those of you who use NAF or the python-megdata module may have noticed
that the online documentation has been unavailable for a couple of weeks.
For technical reasons, we've had to move the location of the
documentation. This can now be found at:
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/code-docs/
Please update any bookmarks or other references to the old URL
(https://vcs.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs)
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Mark

Dear All,
We are not aware of anyone needing Presentation software and we are
therefore planning to discontinue with providing it from August 2017
onwards.

Hello Everyone,
This one is important. In recent weeks we have found that safety screening
forms and consent forms are not being returned appropriately to ynic in all
cases. That is, the personal information on these documents is not being
kept confidential.
Please ensure that after scanning has finished, participant's forms are
returned to YNiC reception. You MUST either hand the forms personally to a
member of YNiC staff or place the forms in the secure gray post-box behind
the reception desk.
During the period of time you are responsible for the forms do not leave
them in open site anywhere in the building and do note take them away from
the building.
Thank you

Hello All,
We've had reports of intermittent loss of access to some files and folders.
We are investigating. We may have to reboot some servers controlling our
storage arrays in the near future without notice. More to follow.

Dear all,
We have made a small change to the YNiC cluster configuration.
Until now, each cluster job could use as much memory as they wanted.
This has been known to cause problems for users when they submit jobs
which require a large amount of RAM. If multiple jobs which require
large amounts of RAM are put onto the same machine, the jobs may run out
of memory. More problematically, it was sometimes the case that jobs
which did not require much RAM were the ones which failed.
To prevent this, we have added a default RAM limitation to the cluster.
Each "slot" is allocated 8G by default. If the job uses more than this,
it will be killed.
Jobs which require more RAM can still be run on the cluster. To do
this, you will simply need to tell the cluster how much memory to
reserve for your job - this will prevent your job from running out of
RAM by reserving enough for you. This can be done using the -l
h_vmem=xxG argument to the qsub command. We have documented this on the
wiki at:
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/IT/ClusterScripts
under the "Resource Limitations" section.
We estimate that this will not affect many users. For anybody who is
affected and are using qsub directly, the instructions above provide
information on how to request more RAM to be made available. If you are
find that you are getting memory allocation errors when using any of the
YNiC provided cluster commands (clusterFeat, clusterR, clusterMatlab,
clusterReconAll), or when using NAF, please contact
it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and we will make sure that we adapt the
scripts to use the correct arguments with the qsub command.
If you have any questions, please contact it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
Thanks,
Mark
