-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear himalaya-Users, 0.) Please read this mail carefully. the Ubuntu-version on the entire cluster has been updated to 12.04 (precise). At the same time, the headnodes have been upgraded to more efficient hardware. Please take note of the following: 1.) /data-Partition To maintain easy accessibility, all data from /data, /cfddata and /moldata has been merged into one /data-partition. Therefore, you will now find a single directory /data/username containing your previous (if present) /data, /cfddata and /moldata partitions 2.) Quota Due to new harddrives, the user-quotas have been raised to: * 20GB for /home * 2TB for /data In case you seriously need more disk-space, please contact paradm@ins.uni-bonn.de explaining your situation. 3.) Additional Software (/opt) We are still in the process of compiling all software we previously provided via the /opt-partition. However this may take some time and in case you need a specific package urgently, please contact paradm@ins.uni-bonn.de. 4.) K2 In addition to everest, it is now possible to use a second headnode named k2. You can use k2 in the same way as everest, e.g. compile and post-process your code and submit jobs via qsub. Please do not use everest for any post-processing! You can ssh to k2 from the stud- and the staff-net. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send an email to paradm@ins.uni-bonn.de.
