Hi folks,

we have two new Alma9 interactive nodes, sphnxsub01 and sphnxsub02. We 
have a nightly build (no ana build, so everything defaults to the latest 
and greatest). As a nice carrot - condor jobs submitted from those nodes 
run on our Alma9 cluster which has 32k cores and you will out rank the 
sims running there.

Don't try to run SL7 code here (or under condor) - this very likely 
won't work and just wastes resources. SL7 Containers work - we do not 
need to test that. Please let me know any problems you encounter, I have 
concentrated on running the sims which currently do run in an SL7 container.

While at it - sdcc plans a renaming of pretty much all nodes, makes 
their life easier. Since interactive hosts also submit to condor 
sphnxsubXX would be the new names. I am not sure if it's worth pulling a 
fuss about the name but if anyone has a good (technical) reason why this 
would cause us hardships, let me know. Soon - latest by the beginning of 
the collaboration meeting.

Chris
