Hansen Cluster OS upgrade

  • Maintenance
  • Hansen

During the maintenance scheduled for May 19-20 the Hansen cluster will be upgraded to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, version 6.

Only those PBS jobs with walltimes short enough that they will finish prior to the beginning of this maintenance period are being scheduled for execution -- jobs with longer walltimes will be held in the input queue until the operating system upgrade has been completed.

Most applications compiled on Red Hat Linux version 5 are expected to continue to function without recompilation. However, some software modules provided on the cluster have been changed. Please update any scripts that refer to old versions of software.
