Scheduled Maintenance
This page is being updated.
Upgrade of machines 2017
Machines to upgrade: 30
Reasons:
- Main reason is to avoid security holes and update libraries.
- Libraries not present in the distribution will be provided with a new mechanism implemented with success by Lunarc. It will be in a test state during 2017.
- OpenSuse 13.1 is out of support since November 2016; the software is already old.
Target distribution
- Ubuntu 16.04 will be supported until 2021 and is my preference. There will be no more
machine update until that time.
- OpenSuSE Leap can be installed upon request. Its release cycle and support is unclear, therefore I am not supporting it anymore.
Tentative Schedule
Status of other machines
Upgrade of vespa 2017
Decision pending: centos6 or centos7
From https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product :
| CentOS6 | CentOS7 | |
|---|---|---|
| Full Updates | Q2 2017 | Q4 2020 |
| Maintenance Updates | November 30th, 2020 | June 30th, 2024 |
Probably CentOS7 for all machines is the best choice.
front ends
- vespa.teorfys.lu.se: will be changed to a newer machine
- vespa2.matfys.lth.se: the system will be updated
old nodes n1-n5
Intel
old nodes n6-n10
Opteron! Will CentOS7 run on those?
old nodes n11-n12
new nodes n13-n20
- no planned update at the moment. They run CentOS6.x and easybuild.
