This maintenance will cause the following services to experience an outage:



MyOSG

OIM

RSV Collector

Software

Ticket

Twiki

(GOC) VOMS

YUM



The Bloomington BDII Server (is1.grid.iu.edu) will also be down during this time. We will configure DNS to point at is2.grid.iu.edu well in advance of this maintenance.

The OSG Operations Center will be updating the MyOSG to the latest release (version 1.6) on Tuesday, September 1st at 3:00PM EDT. A short outage (few minutes) is expected but the GOC reserves one hour for unexpected problems, to allow roll-back.

This release includes the following bug fixes and features:

• Added Resource Group based pages. We have retained original Resource-based pages(/wizardXXXX) for backward compatibility though the resource menu item has been removed We expect to gradually phase out the Resource pages.

• Changed various inter-page links to point to the new resource group pages (instead of resource pages)
• Changed the way item selectors worked. Previously it was a big list of checkboxes. Now users can search for values in any item by typing the name, or hit the down arrow key to show the entire list of values. Applied this selector to all applicable instances, except the old resource page.
• Updated RSV Status Map with new Terrain map type and updated icons to make it easier to see the RSV status. Changed structure to allow map type to be retained inside the URL. Fixed bug related to downtime information display.
• Added "User contributed MyOSG view" section on the home page which pulls content from one of our Twiki pages.
  

This version is currently available at myosg-itb.grid.iu.edu for testing, please feel free to browse and test against this site.

NOTE: The myosg.grid.iu.edu hostname will have a new IP following this change. Please ensure local DNS caches are cleared/updated so you get the new IP.

In the attached message sent on Friday, July 10th, the GOC used the word "deprecate" to describe the VORS turndown on Monday, August 3rd. To clarify the status of VORS beginning on August 3rd, it will be turned down and unavailable to the public.

___________________



The OSG Grid Operations Center is planning the deprecation of the VORS (http://vors.grid.iu.edu) status monitoring service on August 3rd. VORS status probing will be replaced by RSV probes and data presentation will be provided in the MyOSG pages (https://myosg.grid.iu.edu).



We have been working hard to identify and move VORS users to the new MyOSG interface for status data. If you are still using VORS please contact the GOC as soon as possible so we can help facilitate your move. Our goal is to have all external programmatic users fully functioning using MyOSG or other OSG information services by July 27th.

The IP address of is1.grid.iu.edu changed yesterday - this was part of
the final set of transitions of GOC servers to a new VLAN before the September
2009 machine room move. The CEMon clients running on most OSG CEs have
not picked up this change of IP address - this is a well known bug in
the Tomcat configuration that has supposedly been fixed in very recent
VDT releases (for more information please contact the VDT or file a GOC
ticket). Restarting Tomcat will ensure that your CE uploads data to both
servers is1 and is2.

The GOC has setup a temporary rsync of CEMon data files from is2 to is1
-- this will remain in place for the next 24-48 hours while we monitor
whether all sites have restarted uploading data to is1.

The GOC has completed maintenance on is1.grid.iu.edu and MyOSG.



We request site administrators to restart their tomcat so that CEMon will start uploading to is1.grid.iu.edu at its new IP address.



Additionally, during this maintenance, OIM (https://oim.grid.iu.edu) and the Ticket (https://ticket.grid.iu.edu) were unavailable for a few minutes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We expect to not have such outages in the future - this network maintenance is a required process as the GOC moves towards moving its servers to a new machine room in September 2009.

A new VO package is now available. This package removes the new defunct GUGrid VO who is conducting future OSG business under the Engage VO. It also updates a malformed vomses file entry for JDEM and the ordering of CDF entries in the edg-mkgridmap.conf.



The GOC suggests backing up your installation before running any update commands.



To pull the new VO Package for an OSG 0.8 or 1.0.x Resource please use:

# cd $VDT_LOCATION

# source setup.sh

# pacman -update vo-package



To pull the new VO Package for the OSG Client 0.8 or 1.0.x please use:

# cd $VDT_LOCATION

# source setup.sh

# pacman -update vo-client



Also remember local account mapping for GUGrid will need to be removed.

Please see ticket 7106 at:

The GOC will be applying a bug fix to OIM from 4:45 PM EDT to 5:00 EDT. No downtime is expected.



* This update fixes an issue with browsing the data change log.

On July 8th 2009 18:00-19:00 UTC, the OSG Operations Group will be performing maintenance on the following production services:

myosg.grid.iu.edu

is1.grid.iu.edu



BDII users will be unaffected - is.grid will be reconfigured to point to only is2.grid.iu.edu during this maintenance period. The real outages on myosg and is2 are expected to last only few minutes but the GOC reserves the entire hour for maintenance. We will let you know when the maintenance is complete.

The GOC was experiencing an OIM outage. Service has been restored.

The GOC is currently experiencing an OIM outage. Engineers are currently investigating. We will send another announcement when service has been restored.
