2. Operational issues

2.1 Report from DMSU

Nothing to report.

2.2 Migration of Central SAM services & reconfiguration of NGIs SAM instances

• Central SAM services are in the process of migrating from CERN to the new consortium (GRNET, CNRS and SRCE). In order to enable smooth transition we have agreed to start using new hostnames:
  • mon.egi.eu for grid-monitoring.cern.ch
  • opsmon.egi.eu for ops-monitor.cern.ch
• CERN services will be operational until May 1st. Afterwards aliases will point to new instances.

• If Regional & VO SAM instances are not re-configurred *it will stop working* after the switch off of the CERN instance.

• The following instances are not yet configured, and tkts have been opened to follow them up:
  • cygrid-nagios.grid.ucy.ac.cy - NGI_CYGRID #105123
  • grid-nagios.ii.edu.mk - NGI_MARGI #105124
  • mon-ua.bitp.kiev.ua - NGI_UA #105125
  • nagios.egee.cesnet.cz - NGI_CZ #105126
  • nagios.ipp.acad.bg - NGI_BG #105127
  • ngi-de-nagios.gridka.de - NGI_DE #105128
  • node02-02.imi.renam.md - NGI_MD #105129
  • rnag1.grid.kiae.ru - ROC_Russia #105130
  • rocnagios.grid.sinica.edu.tw - ROC_Asia/Pacific #105131
  • sam.grid.am - NGI_ARMGRID #105132
  • wipp-srs.weizmann.ac.il - NGI_IL #105133
