New General Purpose Linux Servers
We are in the process of updating our General purpose Linux computing environment. We will keep both environments up at the same time for a while. The transition schedule will be posted here. The new servers run Scientific Linux and require VPN access when connecting from off campus.
When your SECS account is created, you are given a shell account on all of our Linux servers. The intended use of the General Purpose Linux Servers are to:
- Provide educational access to the installed software
- Give students the opportunity to work in a Linux environment
- Run long running or computationally intensive jobs.
Available Servers
beatles.secs.oakland.edu is intended to load balance and will give you the Linux server that will offer the most free resources.
If you wish to log into a specific server you will want to log into:
- ringo.secs.oakland.edu
- harrison.secs.oakland.edu
legacy servers are still currently available:
- login.secs.oakland.edu (until 1-1-2013)
- janus.secs.oakland.edu
- pandora.secs.oakland.edu
