Glasgow's new cluster is supposed to arrive tomorrow. The schedule is:


  • Tuesday 29th: Cluster delivery
  • Wednesday 30th - Friday 1st: Installation on site by ClusterVision Engineers
  • Monday 4th: Training for David and Graeme in management (power switching, CVOS, IPMI, networking, etc.)


There are a number of outstanding problems to be resolved. On the prosaic side we need to know what size of lorry the cluster will be delivered in and which entrance they will use. These things are still unclear!

More seriously, no definite statement has been made about how we support SL3 nodes on the new cluster. I will continue to work on a systemimager solution as a fallback position.
