1.4 Interoperability (Michaela, this week on holiday)

General points:

  • Taskforce leadership handover:
Michaela Barth will go on maternal leave. Gert Svensson gert@pdc.kth.se will take over from 1st of August.
  • Collecting input for MS414 Integrating Resources into the EGI Production Infrastructure
https://documents.egi.eu/secure/ShowDocument?docid=650
Successor of last years MS407. Hoping to be able to collect all input by the end of this month to be ready for internal review. No feedback yet from monitoring, accounting and GGUS.
  • A middleware independent site wide information service (like a gLite site BDII) and a good plan for it seems to be missing. This effects especially the execution of the site certification procedure PROC09 . Leads to discussion of ugly workarounds in the taskforces. Should possibly be discussed at the TCB.
  • Focus on accounting during the next months.

Official gLite web page

The best practice would be to upgrade unsupported services. In case of critical bugs or software vulnerabilities no patches will be released. Would it be possible for NGIs to report the sites that cannot upgrade their glite3.1 services to EMI (e.g. because old hardware?)?

  • The list of components can be retrieved only partly from BDII.
  • The data will be an useful input to discuss the possibility to plan an upgrade campaign.

3. AOB

3.1 Argus gLite 3.2

The support schedule for ARGUS is currently consistent with the other gLite3.2 components: security updates until April 2012 (release EMI-2).

This is a problem for the ARGUS PT, developers cannot put effort on developing patches for the gLite 3.2 release of the component. EMI is considering to officially drop the ARGUS support in gLite 3.2.
NGIs should report if there are sites that need gLite 3.2 ARGUS, and that need support for this version of the service. This topic will be discussed in the next OMB July 26th.

3.2 Report glite3.2 critical problems

EMI's Support policy for gLite 3.2 is to port patches only for critical bugs. Any minor update will not be released for glite 3.2
Operations Managers are kindly invited to report during the Operations Meeting bugs and problems affecting gLite 3.2 services, or patches available for EMI releases that should be also ported to gLite3.2.
If Operations Managers agree, the request to rise the priority of the patch should come from the EGI operations community, rather than a single site/NGI.
