I'm hopeful that the CentOS 7.7 farm nodes are working out in
testing. There were some shell environment problems that Nathan
found and worked with us on. That issue has been resolved. The
7.7 nodes represent a relatively small number of job slots, but
that's about to change:</div>

The new AMD farm nodes were delivered to shipping. As soon as
they are brought over to CEBAF Center we will work on getting
them in service. They will be CentOS 7.7 and will represent a
big chunk of the compute in the farm. </div>

The remainder of the farm (except for qcd12s) will follow on to
CentOS 7.7 after that unless there are problems. </div>

On a separate topic, we finally got the computer room power work
completed that we needed to add more Lustre space, so that can
now proceed. </div>
