MATLAB is now updated to the latest 2015b on both ARI and Foxconn and fully functional (I tested it). I will update MATLAB on desktops and few older computing nodes tomorrow evening. I will make a plan on Friday how to upgrade both MATLAB and OS to RHEL 7.1 on lov3,lov3, and low1. I will also add the scratch space on those three nodes.

MATLAB is now updated to the latest 2015b on the following machines neill1 neill2 neill3 neill4 lot1 compute-0-0 compute-0-1 charity ari foxconn My plan is to upgrade MATLAB over the weekend on all remaining desktops. Some are already upgraded. Remaining computing nodes lov3 lov4 low1 will hopefully be upgraded on Monday when I am planning to replace existing HDDs with new drives running RHEL 7.1. NREC computing node lot2 is still in Supermicro shop awaiting for proper bug free firmware. Once machine is fixed it will be upgraded to 7.1 as well.

We use official EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repo for R which is second to none. These packages are officially approved by Red Hat corporation. 2. I have enabled yum-cron on all computing nodes and desktops root at lov3$ service yum-cron status Nightly yum update is enabled Such aggressive updating practice sometimes lead to breakage like in the case of plotting with R three weeks ago. Since we use high quality repository packages are promptly fixed. You can check for yourself that plotting in R is working on your desktops and computing nodes and that you are running the latest R-3.2.2. We are research Laboratory and having more conservative policy runs against my scientific instincts. 3. Some cutting-edge research grade packages are installed using built in R package manager. We have no choice with those. Remember we are research grade facility not a bank or insurance company. I am not 100% sure if those get broken during minor version upgrades. They typically get installed in root at lov3$ pwd /usr/lib64/R/library I have run update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE) on LOV3 as a test. If you are heavy R user please try to use R on LOV3 and look for the signs of broken packages. Please report any new issues. 4. Some of you have installed your own R packages with your normal user privileges as in Kyles case. Those packages get installed in [mille856 at line x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library]$ ls 3.0 3.1 3.2 Since Kyle is running R-3.2.2 now obviously the packages he installed should be in 3.2. You can try to update only those using something like grepping the list of outdated packages which can be found running the command > installed.packages() and then selecting only your own packages from that list. If that sounds too complicated you can just run update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE) which will upgrade all packages to the latest and the greatest version including your own. However all those packages will be saved locally. That is OK. I am OK having a multiple copies of R packages. There is nothing I as a system admin can do about your custom installed R packages. Once you install them you own them and you are in charge with updates. The link Kyle provided http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1401904/painless-way-to-install-a-new-version-of-r-on-windows is very good and contains wealth of information. However not all that info is applicable to our environment. If you need any assistance processing the information from that web site please ping me.

What I didn't tell you was my plan to master Kickstart unattended installation method with post installation scripts to preform such upgrade. That will on the long be a huge time saver for me as I am shifting from playing with computers to actually thinking about scientific problems. Long story short Kickstart is little bit more complicate than I anticipated so I logged into LOV3, LOV4, LOW1 to upgrade MATLAB to R2015b until I muster the concept. However several of you have running MATLAB experiments. I decided against stopping those jobs. Please let me know if MATLAB stops working for you on these three compuring nodes due to the licensing issues. I will upgrade MATLAB promptly until I am ready to preform OS upgrade.

I restarted Daisy and things are back on line now. Hopefully we will have new website soon so we will not have to go through this routine again. Predrag
