Biowulf cluster migrating to RHEL8/Rocky8 -- beta testers invited
Date: 01 May 2023 12:05:27
From: Susan Chacko
The HPC staff is planning to migrate the Biowulf cluster, login node,
and the Helix interactive data transfer system from RHEL7/CentOS7 to
RHEL8/Rocky8 in June 2023. The exact date for the migration has not yet
been set.
Users who are interested in testing their pipelines, workflows or
applications on the test RHEL8/Rocky8 cluster are invited to respond to
this message to get early access to the test cluster.
Please note:
* The test RHEL8/Rocky8 cluster is small, since the majority of the
Biowulf hardware remains on the main RHEL7 cluster. Thus, beta users on
the test cluster may see longer queue wait times.
* Only the latest version of each application has been migrated to
RHEL8. If your scripts specify a version of an application, you may need
to update your scripts. If you absolutely require an older version of
an application, let us know.
Please let us know of any questions or concerns,
NIH HPC Staff.
