Ubuntu 13.04 is being introduced to farmshare systems starting September 12, 2013.
This guide walks through the changes and new features.
Changes
/mnt/glusterfs is retired
If you used /mnt/glusterfs/<sunetid> for storing files, the replacement is /farmshare/user_data/<sunetid>
If you used /mnt/glusterfs/software/... for matlab, R, stata etc, the replacement is /farmshare/software. See Quick Start Guide below.
/usr/sweet/bin is retired
If you have been using stata, gaussian, matlab, etc from /usr/sweet/bin, the replacement is /farmshare/software. See Quick Start Guide.
/usr/pubsw is retired
If you have been using software from pubsw then let us know by sending an email to research-computing-support@stanford.edu. There are a lot of historical dependencies which we are currently tracing.
If you are not sure if you were using /usr/pubsw then you can check this way:
ssh corn-new and run your program. If you are getting an error then: ssh corn-old and run your program. If it works then type: "which <program name>" to find out the path. One you have the name of the program and the path, send us an email to research-computing-support@stanford.edu
Farmshare now has 100TB of shared storage. see New Features below for details.
unix groups for collaboration
Farmshare now supports collaboration by unix groups. See New Features below for details.
Quick Start Guide for transitioning to Ubuntu 13.04
If you have been used to logging into a corn system and then executing matlab or mathematica then most likely you were using these programs from /usr/sweet/bin. On the new Farmshare you will need to execute a command to load these programs into your environment.
To help you get started quickly you can pick from these common examples:
Matlab
module load matlab
matlab -nodesktop
Gaussian
module load gaussian g09
Stata
module load statase stata
or
module load statamp stata
Mathematica
module load mathematica math
SAS
module load sas sas
R
If you were using module load R-2.15.1-precise then you can just execute R from ubuntu. If we get requests for R libraries which Ubuntu 13.04 does not have then we will build a local R package as we did with R-2.15.1-precise.
