On the first Monday of each month the Merlin6 cluster might be subject to interruption due to maintenance.
Users will be informed with at least one week in advance when a downtime is scheduled for the next month.
Downtimes will be informed to users through the <merlin-users@lists.psi.ch> mail list. Also, a detailed description
for the nexts scheduled interventions will be available in [Next Scheduled Downtimes](## Next Scheduled Downtimes)).
### Scheduled Downtime Draining Policy
Scheduled downtimes mostly affecting the storage and Slurm configurantions may require draining the nodes.
When this is required, users will be informed accordingly. Two different types of draining are possible:
* **soft drain**: new jobs may be queued on the partition, but queued jobs may not be allocated nodes and run from the partition.
Jobs already running on the partition continue to run. This will be the **default** drain method.
* **hard drain**: no new jobs may be queued on the partition (job submission requests will be denied with an error message),
but jobs already queued on the partition may be allocated to nodes and run.
Unless explicitly specified, the default draining policy for each partition will be the following:
* The **general** partition will be soft drained on the previous Friday from 8am.
* The **daily** partition will be soft drained on the previous day from 8am.
* The **hourly** partition will be soft drained on the same Monday from 7am.
Finally, **remaining running jobs will be killed** by default when the downtime starts. In some specific rare cases jobs will be
just *paused* and *resumed* back when the downtime finished.
#### Draining Policy Summary
The following table contains a summary of the draining policies during a Schedule Downtime:
| **Partition** | **Drain Policy** | **Default Drain Type** | **Default Job Policy** |
| ------------- | -----------------:| ---------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **general** | 72h before the SD | soft drain | Kill running jobs when SD starts |
| **daily** | 24h before the SD | soft drain | Kill running jobs when SD starts |
| **hourly** | 1h before the SD | soft drain | Kill running jobs when SD starts |
