[Hps] [Jlab-scicomp-briefs] Farm AL9.6 to 9.7 tomorrow

[Laura Hild via Jlab-scicomp-briefs]

Happy Monday, everyone-
 
We regularly patch the Farm on the CST Division's monthly maintenance day, the third Tuesday.  We do not ordinarily announce the patches because they are within a single minor release of the operating system.  This time, tomorrow, the 18th, the updates will cross a minor release, taking us from AlmaLinux 9.6 to AlmaLinux 9.7.  A summary of changes can be found at
 
  https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/9.7_release_notes/overview#overview-major-changes
 
and the upstream operating system vendor's general compatibility guide can be found at
 
  https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel9-abi-compatibility
 
I do not expect the update to require you to take any action, but it is more likely with the minor-version update than with the regular patches, so I am forewarning you.  Please file a ServiceNow Incident at https://jlab.servicenowservices.com/scicomp with any questions or concerns.  Thank you!
 
-Laura
