Revision as of 16:57, 9 May 2016

The StAB cluster subscribes to Red Hat, and uses version 6, which is one behind the latest version, version 7.

Being one version behind is typicaly not a problem, as it continues to be fully supported. However, there are software packages that like to use the bleeding edge, and there are admitted problems installing these programs.


Installation of devtoolset-2

There are two ways apparently via RHN Classic or RH Subscription Management, and we choose the latter because there is a useful command-line tool for it.

To install on a node:

ssh node4 'subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a85f9814ed67b98014eda13ed983c7d'

Note here that we have previously been able to verify the pool ID. Documentation for this can be found at
