We have now received the permanent license for SAS, so it's probably time to
start talking to users about moving from Unixgen to the cluster. Our SAS
license is limited to 8 CPUs on the cluster. I've setup a queue called
"sas" that is limited to 6 running jobs with a max of 1 CPU each. The other
two licenses are for the head node. The queue is set with a default of 1
hour of wall time and a max of 10 hours - I don't know if this needs to be
higher, but it is easy to change.
We still have the issue with file locks, but I have added the "-filelocks
none" option to the default configuration file, so users shouldn't need to
specify it. Once the Ibrix patch is applied I'll change the config file.
I just checked the log on Unixgen, and the people who have used SAS since
April are: isaacsad, zappiabj, magurnba, and leonardc. This is a small
enough group that we can probably work with them individually to make sure
they have the needed software (putty/openSSH and xming) and also to help
them move files to the cluster.
Jon - if you have been working with these users, it probably makes sense for
you to talk to them about this, otherwise, I can talk to them.
