1. Middleware releases and staged rollout

1.1. Update on the status of EMI updates

1.2. Staged Rollout

UMD 1.9.0 release date is 29 October (next week), and freeze date is today (allow until tomorrow for arrival of late staged rollout reports):

  • Ready for the release:
    • BDII Core 1.4.0
    • CREAM 1.13.5 (note that due to mismatch in version this corresponds to EMI release 1.13.4)
    • WMS 3.3.8
    • GFAL/lcg_utils 1.13.0
    • IGE Gridway 5.10.2
  • Waiting for verification and staged rollout reports that should arrive between today and tomorrow:
    • ARC 1.1.1 (all components)
    • IGE SAGA 1.6.1

2. Operational Issues

2.1 Monitoring of unsupported middleware

2.2 Dependency problem with gridsite-apache and globus

2.2.1 gridsite-apache

The following UMD2 products:

  • DPM
  • LFC

have dependencies problems with the gridsite package. The latest version of gridsite does not contain dependencies to gridsite-apache, and it did not brought the latest version of the package into UMD.

Solutions:

  • Disable UMD update repository before installing DPM or LFC.
  • If a site manager wants to install the latest libraries from UMD update repository, another workaround could be:
    • Disable the update repository
    • Install gridsite
    • Exclude the gridsite package with 'yum exclude'
    • Re-enable the update repository
2.2.2 globus-gass-copy-progs

The following UMD-2 packages:

  • emi-UI
  • emi-WN

Have a dependency with the globus-gass-copy-progs package which is not in the UMD repositories but it comes from EPEL. The globus-gass-copy-progs package has dependencies with other globus libraries which are part of IGE components currently released in UMD.

A recent EPEL updgrade released a new globus-gass-copy-progs package, with updated dependencies to newer libraries (released in EPEL as well), the Globus libraries in UMD are unfortunately too old. UMD repositories protect from EPEL and yum cannot download the newer libraries, and it fails.

globus-gass-copy-progs requieres globus-gass-copy(x86-64) = 8.6-1.el6 and UMD repository contains globus-gass-copy-8.4-1.el6.x86_64.

Solutions:

  • SA2 is evaluating to include the globus-gass-copy(x86-64) = 8.6-1.el6 into UMD, after proper testing.
  • The next UMD update will have to include the new products released by IGE also in order to inject the correct dependencies.

2.3 monitoring issues with WN SL6

2.4 new service types in gocdb in production

The following service type will be put in production in GOCDB, today:

  • CUSTOM.pl.plgrid.Bazaar - SLA negotiation system between users and resource providers from NGI_PL grid
  • CUSTOM.pl.plgrid.BazaarSAT - Bazaar Site Admin Toolkit from NGI_PL grid
  • CUSTOM.pl.plgrid.BAT.agent - Service for collecting accounting data from NGI_PL grid
  • CUSTOM.pl.plgrid.QStorMan.UserInterface - A service to provide a user of the grid system with a certain level of quality, from NGI_PL grid
  • CUSTOM.pl.plgrid.KeyFS - Key File System service, installed on UI machines to provide a user with the grid credentials, from NGI_PL grid
  • pl.cyfronet.InSilicoLab - InSilicoLab portal instance.

These service types were removed from GOCDB because ATP was not able to handle them (Nagios configuration returned errors). SAM 17.1 update patches the problem, and now ATP properly handles the new service types. Please upgrade the SAM instance if your NGI is still deploying an older version.
