. NSF regional computational workshop May 7-8 at Nashville, hosted by Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge Program.

CentOS 6 Upgrade completed on early March 2012

. If you have trouble connecting to vmplogin.accre.vanderbilt.edu, please take a look at this FAQ.

. All nodes are CentOS 6 after the upgrade. Please remove "centos5" or "centos6" attribute from your job submission scripts.

. In addition, the following node attributes have been removed: x86, pagepool2gb. If the script contains an attribute that we have removed, the scheduler will submit the job to the queue but the job will never start.

. Be aware that many packages have slightly different names under CentOS 6 while others have been removed entirely. To see what packages are available, run "pkginfo -l" command or see this page.

. If you log onto the cluster through vmplogin.accre.vanderbilt.edu, you will be assigned to a CentOS 6 gateway. If you want to log onto a CentOS 5 gateway, please use centos5.accre.vanderbilt.edu. Please recognize that we will only have CentOS 5 gateways for a short period of time as users finish the transition to CentOS 6.
