====== 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

==== 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.
