We discovered a configuration problem related to the upgrade of CHI@TACC which meant that since service was resumed on Friday, your instances could have been scheduled on different nodes than the ones you reserved. If during the week-end you gathered experiment results that require specific hardware, you should unfortunately discard them.

While we fixed this issue, we had have to terminate all active reservations and instances.
