Scientific Computing Services has automated network link aggregation for UNIX services that need high-bandwidth or high-availability. These server configurations bond multiple links to the SLAC network and can use independent switch modules for an additional level of redundancy. The associated IP address settings can be easily updated, reducing the amount of time required to move these servers between different subnets.
Scientific Computing Services installed LSF 9.1.1, which is an upgrade to the LSF 9.1 software for the batch environment. This version provides some additional features, including better support for MPI users.
