Hi Yixin, re: > Thank you so much for your reminder. > The /home has been cleaned. Thanks! re: > Also, do you have any suggestion about the upgrade of RHEL6 to RHEL7 for > mistral? Hmm... You asked me this previously, and I thought that I had sent you a detailed reply, but since I can't find that reply, I will assume that it got lost somehow. Apologies! We decided to upgrade our CentOS 6 machines directly to the latest version of CentOS 8. We did this because CentOS will be supported for longer than CentOS 7 since CentOS 7 has been out for at least a couple of years. The exact same comment should apply to RHEL 7 vs RHEL 8. All of the machines we have upgraded from CentOS 6 to CentOS 8 are working nicely, so we do not know of any reason to not upgrade to CentOS/RHEL 8. Of the machines we have upgraded (via new OS installs, not 'yum update') is a NOAAPort ingest machine, and it is working without any problems. In addition, I have worked with two different NOAA Labs on their NOAAPort setups, and both are running flawlessly under RHEL 8.
