In the meantime, most compute nodes have been upgraded to RedHat Enterprise Linux 9. Next Monday, the remaining login nodes will follow suit (except for two).

This migration always implicates the switch to the new module system (based on SPACK).

The two login nodes remaining on RHEL 8 are:

 lcluster7.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de (LB2A2, 104 CPU cores)
lcluster19.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de (LB2A1,  96 CPU cores)

End of Migration

During the second week in October, we intend to lift the majority of the remaining compute nodes up to RHEL 9.

From then on, there is no necessity to specify

#SBATCH --partition special_rhel9…

in your job scripts any longer – RHEL 9 will then become the default for all partitions.

We will inform you with a “Lichtenberg News” (below the table of login nodes) about the exact date from which you can omit the above setting.
