Procedure for renaming a Resource Center.


Step [#]

Resp. Unit

Unit to Contact Procedure Remarks
1 Resource Center NGI Manager Contact your NGI manager(s) to inform them and for support about the procedure for renaming the Resource center.
2 Resource Center Set up an scheduled downtime (it should be sufficient a scheduled downtime for only a few hours).
To prevent any Nagios failures.
3 Resource Center Make sure that you site do not have current open alarms in your Regional Operations Portal. All alarms in the Regional Operations Portal should be closed before performing the changes.
4 Resource Center Go to GOCDB, https://gocdb4.esc.rl.ac.uk/portal/ , and edit the information for your site in order to change the Short Name, Official Name andGIIS URLwith

the new site-name.

5 Resource Center Change the SITE_NAME YAIM variable on the site-BDII service and reconfigure it. Then, it is necessary to change the SITE_NAME YAIM variable on the other services for your site and also reconfigure. It is convenient perform this step near the end of an hour: since the top-BDIIs update their sites list at the beginning of every hour, therefore you will reduce the absence of your site from top-BDIIs, and you will minimize also the failures.
6

Open a GGUS ticket to the Accounting(Responsible Unit) in order to move all the accounting data for your site under the new site-name on the EGI Accounting Portal. This operation can take two or three working days.


7 Open a GGUS ticket to the APEL(Responsible Unit)
8 Finally,

it is not mandatory, but for courtesy you should submit a broadcast to the VO managers for the VOs supported at your site, in order to warning them about the site-name was changed for your site. The broadcast must be send thought the EGI BROADCAST TOOL, https://operations-portal.egi.eu/broadcast



Just to comment that after the information is changed on your services and on GODCDB, some tools like GGUS, GSTAT could take a whole day in order to take the information for your new site-name, although for Nagios tests it only should take a maximum o three hours. Also comment that this change should not affect to the jobs running in your site neither to A/R metrics. It one simply modify the site name in GOCDB while preserving the PRIMARY_KEY for the site, SAM simply renames the site-name without further impact and all availabilities (past and future) will be computed under the new site name.
