[Gimle-users] Login node rebooted due to a kernel panic

[Peter Kjellstrom]

Short version: A panic forced us to reboot the login-node on Gimle no jobs 
running or queued should have been affected.

Longer version:
Around 13.30 today the login-node hung due to a kernel panic. Since we had a 
similar hang on the system-node last week and on the longin-node this monday 
we were already preparing a new software image to be deployed during the 
comming week.

However, when the login-node died again today we took the opportunity to 
upgrade it directly. The rest of the cluster will be upgraded as planned next 
week with minimal planned down-time. The upgrade includes, among other 
things, a minor version bump for the kernel and the lustre file system 
software.

Have a nice week-end and please do report any oddities to us,
 Peter K
