The Qlustar releases 11.0.0.8-b518f1287 and 10.1.1.12-b521f1292 are ready
including a number of security and bug fixes. Please check the following
web pages for details about security fixes:
https://qlustar.com/news/qsa-0406201-linux-kernel-vulnerabilitieshttps://qlustar.com/news/qsa-0406202-security-update-bundle
The following non-security related enhancements/bug fixes are included:
* Qlustar 11.0.0.8-b518f1287 updates to
+ the latest Lustre LTS release 2.12.4
+ the latest Nvidia graphics drivers 440.64 supporting recently introduced
Nvidia hardware
A number of new Qlustar features were completed recently and published
together with the latest security updates ([1], [2]). QluMan 11.0.3.1 has the
following new capabilities:
* The 'Write Files' dialog [3] got a complete revamp:
+ The configuration files/links belonging to different QluMan 'Config
Classes' are now neatly arranged in a single collapsible tree-view.
+ Colored LEDs have been introduced to indicate whether pending
changes of the config files are waiting to be written and which
files are affected.
+ It is now straightforward to cycle through the list of changed files
exclusively, allowing for a fast overview of pending changes in diff format.
+ Selecting individual Config Classes to be written has become a lot
simpler by providing checkboxes in the tree-view.
+ Overall, the new dialog greatly enhances the clarity of the cluster
configuration space. It provides way better control and confidence
when performing configuration changes.
* Messages for config file writing have been added to the QluMan Log Viewer [4].
* The so-called QluMan 'save-button interface' was improved and implemented
for the editing of command names in the Command Editor. Now name
labels turn green when changed and black after being saved, improving
transparency.
If you use QluMan singularity images, make sure you download [5] the
latest version.

A bug was discovered in the recently uploaded QluMan GUI version 11.0.2.8
that prevents the addition of new hosts. The bug is fixed in the most
recent version 11.0.2.10. Please download the updated QluMan GUI singularity
image 11.0.2 at https://qlustar.com/download that includes the fixed version.
A number of new Qlustar features were completed recently and published
together with the latest security updates. QluMan has the following new
capabilities:
* RXEngine command output is searchable now [1], making the analysis of command
results a lot easier.
* RXEngine Command History management [2] has been improved to allow for
fine-grained control during removal of unwanted entries.
* Cluster logging as displayed in the QluMan Log Viewer [3] has been vastly
enhanced:
+ New message categories have been added for managing chroots,
start/stopping of slurmd and RXEngine executions in general.
+ Messages originating from node reboots have been merged into single
summary entries to hugely reduce the number of messages and better
track cluster state changes.
* The QluMan GUI now checks for version updates when starting up [4].
If you use QluMan singularity images, make sure you download [5] the
latest version.
In addition, we have integrated the latest OpenHPC 1.3.9 release, so a
big pile of updated packages are available for those of you running
CentOS/OpenHPC.

We are happy to announce a few new Qlustar features that we completed
recently and were published together with the latest security updates.
* QluMan is now capable of managing BeeGFS and Lustre mounts [1]. If you use
QluMan singularity images, make sure you download the latest version [2].
* The tool qlustar-image-edit now allows for simple static OS image
customization [3].
* OpenMPI 3.1.4 packages were added to Qlustar 11.0 in addition to the 4.0.x
packages already available. It turned that a number of MPI codes had
problems to be compiled with the 4.0.x version.
In the future, we plan to introduce such non-interruptive features in
irregular intervals, decoupled from the usual Qlustar releases.

The following non-security related enhancements/bug fixes are included:
* Fix permissions of certain image base directories. Before that it
would have been possible for any user to fill a couple of tmpfs
filesystems thus blocking some main memory resources of compute nodes.

newest GPUs (Qlustar 11.0 only).
* QluMan fixes:
- Fix rights management for QluMan users
- Prevent the main head-node from being deleted (Qlustar 11.0 only).
- Fix exceptions of the slurm job window that occurred in certain situations.
