Also, we have found a critical bug in the

globus-gram-job-manager-13.14-1.2.osg.el5 package that was distributed

as part of the previous release. We do not have a fix ready yet, so we

currently recommend that if you have that version of the package (which

you can verify by typing "rpm -q globus-gram-job-manager" and comparing

the versions), that you downgrade to the previous version of that

package by typing "yum downgrade globus-gram-job-manager". The highest

working version is 13.5-14.osg.



You can ask support via the usual channels. We look forward to your

feedback on this new release.

All Hosts — OS Updates

We will be installing updated packages from the OS provider on all physical and virtual hosts, including updates to the kernel. There will be downtime during the day for most services, but in most cases it should not be more than 15 minutes. In the case of the CEMon-BDII aggregator service, we will use the DNS round-robin to shift traffic away from the server undergoing maintenance, so no downtime is required, but there may be some degradation of service during this time.

OSG Operations has discovered a problem with file attachments to tickets originating at GGUS. This problem was introduced during a recent update to the GGUS ticketing system which caused an inability to access the SOAP attachment interface. Support tickets have been opened at (https://ticket.grid.iu.edu/goc/11560 and https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78844) and direct communication with GGUS developers has been initiated. This only affects file attachments to tickets, all other ticket exchange functionality is normal.
