(This is a re-release of Oct 11th release.) Please be aware the GOC makes reasonable effort to support all major browsers current versions but cannot guarantee proper behavior for all browsers and browser versions.

OS Updates



As is usual for the second update cycle in a month, the GOC will be updating the operating systems of all physical and virtual machines with the latest security and bugfix patches from the OS provider. In the case of BDII, we will be using the DNS round-robin to redirect traffic to the host not undergoing maintenance, but in all other cases expect a few minutes of downtime.

A new VO package is now available. This package updates the LBNE VO, removes the GROW VO, and changes the address of the GLOW VOMS.



A detailed list of changes is available at:

https://twiki.grid.iu.edu/bin/view/Operations/PackageV40



OSG Operations suggests backing up your installation before running any

update commands.

use:

# cd $VDT_LOCATION

# source setup.sh

# pacman -update vo-package



To pull the new VO Package for the OSG Client 1.0.x or 1.2.0 please use:

VM Moves



The GOC will be moving the virtual machines “software2” and “rsvprocess2” from the IUPIU data center to the IUB data center.

A brief outage for MyOSG should be expected.
