  • UI - waiting for the patch to the glite-lbjp-common-gss package
  • WN + batch system plugins - waiting for the new SAM update 17

The following are in staged rollout but do not have (yet) any EA team

  • Cluster
  • GLEXEC

2. Operational Issues

2.1 Upgrade of gLite components to UMD

All the gLite components have reached the end of support, or will reach the end of support soon.

  • All the gLite 3.1 components must be upgraded to UMD within September the 30th.
  • Many gLite 3.2 components are currently unsupported:
    • Unsupported: Argus, CREAM, LB, BDII, Torque/SGE/LSF utils, glite-MPI, VOMS, APEL, SCAS, glite-CLUSTER
    • Supported until Oct 2012: FTS, gLExec, LFC, DPM, UI, WN
    • Supported until Apr 2013: VOBox

Sites should to move to software with security support.

  • This topic will be discussed in more detail in the tomorrow's OMB
  • The timeline to enforce this upgrade is not defined, yet.
  • The following table shows the suggested target version for the upgrade
    • NGIs should comment on these suggestions, if there are issues or showstopper for the upgrade


Product name End of security support Suggeste target release for the upgrade Comments
ARGUS 30-Apr-2012 UMD2 From EMI-2 Argus is published in the info system, with GLUE2 support
CREAM 30-Apr-2012 UMD2 (expected in UMD2.1) RFC proxies support, full GLUE2 support
LB 30-Apr-2012 UMD1
BDII 30-Apr-2012 UMD 1.6 UMD1.6 added dependencies to OpenLDAP 2.4
Torque-utils 30-Apr-2012 UMD2 (expected in UMD2.1) Fix a problem between Maui and MPI jobs
LSF utils 30-Apr-2012 UMD2 (expected in UMD2.1) Deployed with CREAM, which suggested release is UMD2
SGE utils 30-Apr-2012 UMD2 (expected in UMD2.1) Deployed with CREAM, which suggested release is UMD2
VOMS 30-Apr-2012 UMD2 (expected in UMD2.1) Many important features and bug fixes (e.g. https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?93255)
SCAS 30-Apr-2012 No more supported
APEL 30-Apr-2012 UMD1
gLite-CLUSTER 30-Apr-2012 UMD2 (expected in UMD2.1) Deployed with CREAM, which suggested release is UMD2

Comments:

  • The version listed in the table above are meant to be the minimum version for the upgrade. Considering the GLUE2.0 and RFC proxies, sites are suggested to upgrade to UMD2 where possible
  • After the 2.1 release, expected for early August, UMD will contain most of the EMI and IGE products
