5. "Why is my job pending with 'ReqNodeNotAvail' message when I type squeue?"
The most likely explanation is because your job cannot run yet because it will overlap with an existing reservation, e.g. a reservation made for a maintenance outage. Efforts will be made to communicate maintenance outages 30 days, 14 days, and 1 day before the outage begins. In addition, the current maintenance schedule for Talapas is published here:
If you get this message and there is no maintenance scheduled, please submit a ticket and we will investigate.
