The transition will take place in the first couple of weeks of October. Right now, you can SSH to 'corn-new' instead of 'corn' and you will be on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine instead of an Ubuntu 13.10 machine. It will be very similar, but the output of 'module avail' will be different, and the q commands will point to a new grid engine environment.

We'll be working on the systems in this order: corn, barley, rye, cardinal.

To see which corn machines belong to which group, you can run a bash for loop like this:

 for i in corn corn-old corn-new; do echo $i; dig +short +noedns -t txt $i.best.stanford.edu @lbdns1.stanford.edu; done 

To see which barley machines belong to which group, try a 'qhost' on a corn vs a 'qhost' on a corn-new.

For any machine, you can try an:

 lsb_release -a
