Hi Judi, > Testbed description: We need to often customize the kernel. Access to massive compute > resources (e.g. Intel MIC) as well as RDMA-enabled network devices are required as well. > Prancelot and Dancelot fit the hardware description. Be more specific! e.g., Prancelot and Dancelot with a Xeon Phi card and a local hard drive. We need RHEL7 or equivalent to be installed on the local hard drive initially and we will maintain the local hard drive contents. IPMI is required to cycle the machine power. We have no plan for PXE booting these nodes. Do you really need RDMA-enabled NICs at this point? NOTE: Prancelot and Dancelot are currently a diskless system, which means you cannot modify default OS image. - kaz On 03/11/2015 11:33 AM, Judicael A.

Hi Judi, Can you write a brief project description for a dedicated OS research, specifying Dancelot and Prancelot?

Hello Kaz, Yep it does. So are the nodes going to b flagged "reserved for OS research" after all?

Hi Ben, Thank you for installing the cards, I think the JLSE provisioning system is not available for us, so we probably need a local hard drive plus IPMI.

These have been installed in Dancelot and Prancelot. Let me know if privileged access is needed on the machines, and if you'd like me to announce that these machines are dedicated for OS Research use. Currently the two machines are diskless provisioning from JLSE's Warewulf. I could make them statefully installed if you want. Also note that these machines are on the normal JLSE "FTM" and "FTW" networks, so please no DHCP servers, etc. Ben > On Mar 9, 2015, at 9:37 AM, Kazutomo Yoshii <kazutomo(a)mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > > Swann, > > I'm talking about other Phi cards for JLSE nodes, not knight. > It will not affect your work. > > - kaz > > On 03/09/2015 09:18 AM, Swann Perarnau wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm still running some tests on it today, can we wait until tomorrow to replace >> the cards ? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Swann >> >> On Sat, Mar 07, 2015 at 06:18:03PM -0600, Kazutomo Yoshii wrote: >>> Hi Ben, >>> >>> I left two 16GB Xeon Phi cards on your workspace in tinkerlab. >>> >>> Please replace the old Phi cards with the new ones, >>> so that Swann and Judi can use the new cards. >>> I may also occasionally use the Xeon Phi. >>> >>> Here are the serial numbers (probably not needed but just in case). >>> ADKC32200717 >>> ADKC31304009 >>> >>> - kaz >>> > > _______________________________________________ > Admins mailing list > Admins(a)lists.jlse.anl.gov > https://lists.jlse.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/admins

Hi Ben, I left two 16GB Xeon Phi cards on your workspace in tinkerlab. Please replace the old Phi cards with the new ones, so that Swann and Judi can use the new cards. I may also occasionally use the Xeon Phi. Here are the serial numbers (probably not needed but just in case). ADKC32200717 ADKC31304009 - kaz
