The node was originally installed with the LTS 4.4 release (Wilson=
). Until recently, we have been running daily yum updates against th=
e node, so all the necessary errata and security updates have been ap=
plied. Being a cluster head node, we can't jump the node up to a 5.x=
release without proper planning and scheduling of downtime, etc. Ou=
r user base expects the release to remain stable, so such upgrades ar=
e carefully considered.

Well I thought that applying all the updates would bring the system=
to
4.8 but I realize that Scientific Linux does keep old releases aliv=
e.
The statement that I am running 4.4 is based on the contents of /etc/=
redhat-release. =20

How do you get the repodata for the systems (local mirror or remote=

Can you try updating 1-2 packages directly? or does even yum list g=

you a 2GB process?
Simply doing a 'yum list' runs up memory consumption. I ran the foll=
owing for 90 CPU seconds and 'top' reports that the yum process consu=
med 3 GB of memory. I used 'kill -15' to terminate the process.
