EGEE ROC decommission request validation

• The EGEE ROC decommission request should be submit to COD by EGEE ROC which wants to start decommission procedure or by NGI which took over all sites from EGEE ROC.
• The Central Operator on Duty team - in charge of EGI oversight - is responsible of performing validation of the request and final check of the process.

How to start the decommission process

• The decommission of an EGEE ROC starts when the ROC opens a ROC decommission ticket to COD (via GGUS).
• Once the ticket is filed, COD can start the validation of the request.
• When COD validate the request, in order to trigger the actions described in this document the ROC creates a set of new child tickets that are assigned to the individual partners that are responsible for the various steps. Thereby, the integration process should be as transparent as possible to all parties involved. The required actions are described below.

An example/template for the EGEE ROC decommission ticket is provided here:

Subject: Decommission of EGEE ROC XXX

Dear COD,

According to procedure https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Operations:EGEE_ROC_decommission we would like to start decommission procedure for ROC XXX.

Best regards,

EGEE ROC prerequisities

Before opening an ROC decommission GGUS ticket, the EGEE ROC should:

Concerns	Prerequisities
GSTAT	All sites which were moved to other NGI/ROC and still publish in BDII old ROC, should be reconfigured according to the instructions at: http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/How_to_publish_my_site_information change the old information from: SITE_OTHER_EGEE_ROC="XX" SITE_OTHER_GRID="EGEE" to: SITE_OTHER_EGI_NGI="NGI_XXX" SITE_OTHER_GRID="EGEE|EGI"
GGUS	All the tickets assigned to the ROC SU should be closed.
Operational Dashboard	All alarms and operational tickets should be closed
GOC DB	No sites defined in GOCDB for the ROC, other than in Closed status.

Known issues

Please be aware the fact that as a result of ROC decommission the old ROC view in accounting portal will be unavailable. The problem is registered in GGUS ticket.

EGEE ROC decommission process steps

The general idea is that tickets must be closed before being able to move on to the next step.
