As announced, the old CentOS software stack will reach its end of life on April, 30th. Beginning with May 2nd, this means the following:
- No submission to CentOS nodes will be possible anymore.
- All CLAIX-2018 login / dialog nodes will be migrated to Rocky 8 Linux, lmod and the new software stack.
- Jobs submitted to CentOS nodes before May 1st will be scheduled to the remaining CentOS batch nodes on a best-effort basis, without guarantee for start or completion within the remaining lifetime of those nodes. We strongly recommend to submit all new jobs to the new Rocky 8 environment as of now.
Please find the overview of changes with Rocky Linux 8 here.
You can track any disruptions or security advisories that may occur due to the aforementioned change in the RWTH-HPC category on our status reporting portal.
