CentOS 7 userspace software checks #201

Closed tatarsky closed 7 years ago

tatarsky commented 7 years ago

This Git issue will track the needs and changes to the environment from a CentOS 7 system. Several "system" versions of tools are updated in CentOS 7 and may obsolete some module needs.

As I prepare a system cn12 for some initial tests people can shortly ssh to the system (no SGE queues or similar at the moment) to run basic tests. I will update this then with any needed rebuilds or module work.

The /frazer01 Lustre is NFS mounted as it is on all old nodes. Do not expect high performance.

A reminder per some recent emails:

If your binary does not work on CentOS7 before you re-compile ask me briefly to take a look and see if I can simply deploy old libraries for it first.

To do so:

Send me the path to the binary.

And/or include the output of ldd (path to binary)

While re-compilation in the end is ALWAYS a better way to go, for short term workaround I have a concept called "oldlibs" which has served me well in many a CentOS6->7 migration.

This test period is concluded as primary systems and SGE is CentOS 7. Report missing items and I'll fix them in puppet as I can.
