Hi Ron, Sorry about this. The cron script that runs every 15 minutes to create new home directories was running into a bug. It's now fixed, and your home directory has been created. Let me know if you have any other issues, Ben On Aug 28, 2014, at 3:47 PM, Ron Rahaman <rahaman(a)mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > Good afternoon, > > My JLSE account was recently approved (my username is rahaman), but I don't have a home directory on login.jlse.anl.gov.

Did you click the "Add New SSH Public Key" button when trying to upload your key?

Re: [JLSE-Admins] List of all hardware procurements and projects

Hi Kumar, Populating the brief description of projects is a good idea. The list of the projects is likely to grow, so it might be a good idea to categorize the projects later(e.g. by system type. type-1,2,3 ). Here is my project description. ----- Title: Prototyping an OS development space within JLSE PI: Kazutomo Yoshii Objective: We seek a possibility of building an operating system (OS) development space within the JLSE server space. OS development requires a dedicated machine access and power machine control features such as power cycling, remote serial console. Those requirements can not be satisfied with the regular JLSE environment. JLSE prepares a dedicated VLAN for the OS development space. We re-purpose one Eureka node as a control server for IPMI and other two Eureka nodes as a tentative testbed. Once the IPMI functionality and the dedicated VLAN are tested, we plan to add additional hardware to this space for OS development. Testbed Description: 3x Eureka nodes ( dual socket Intel E5405, 32GB RAM) - kaz On 08/27/2014 01:00 PM, Kalyan Kumaran wrote: > On Aug 25, 2014, at 10:37 PM, Allen, Benjamin S. <bsallen(a)alcf.anl.gov> wrote: > >> 4.

Please see this page for examples: My description is as follows: Investigating HPC Infrastructure and User Service Provisioning through Linux Containers (LXC) PI: Matt Kemp and Ben Allen Objective: Investigating the advantages of infrastructure and user service provisioning using the isolation and repeatability available via Linux Containers (LXC) in an HPC environment. This makes use of CoreOS and Docker to create a clustered environment for maintainable service provisioning, maintenance and delivery. The testbed will also investigate clustered management solutions for these containers, evaluating etcd, Fleet and Google's Kubernetes. Testbed description: JLSE's x86 hardware and dedicated networking provides an isolated, private network between a RHEL7 based head node and 4 private CoreOS hosts where new infrastructure technologies can be tested. The GPFS filesystems and unique networking provide a platform to integrate HPC technologies into cloud based containerization software. --- Matt Kemp HPC Systems Administrator Argonne National Laboratory Leadership Computing Facility Phone: (630) 252-0024
