OSG 1.2.13 Release Announcement
OSG Operations and Integration are pleased to announce the release of OSG version 1.2.13.
The following components are affected:
* Gratia accounting on CE installations
* Xrootd installations
* OSG client and wn-client installations
* Systems using gratia rpms
This release has updates to three components. Xrootd, Gratia, and the Fermi SRM clients have been updated. The updates are fairly minor and do not necessitate an immediate update unless you are encountering an issue that is corrected in these updates.
Notable fixes include correct a syntax issue when specifying the redirector on a data server. Gratia has been updated to correct several bugs and has added accounting probes for Xrootd. Fermi SRM clients have been updated as well.

GOC Service Update - Tuesday, August 24th at 14:00 UTC
The GOC will upgrade the following services beginning at Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 at 14:00 UTC. The GOC reserves four hours (14:00 - 18:00 UTC) in the unlikely event that unexpected problems are encountered.
GOC Ticket Synchronizer 1.11
* Updated MySQL Connector/J, and fixed load balancing issue with data1/2.
* Updated BNL production RT's default queue name to StorageManagement as requested by Jason
* Added GGUS > FP conversion for GGUS "Ticket Type" field, and FP > BNL converstion.
* (Patched) Fixed the build file issue for missing lib directory.
* (Patched) Added "loadbalance:" token for JDBC URL which was somehow missing.
* Added more logs during sync table connection.
MyOSG 1.25 (https://myosg.grid.iu.edu)
ITB version is now available for testing at https://myosg-itb.grid.iu.edu; we encourage users to test this service before the production release.
* Applied similar update I made for sc and vo page (for better error message when no resource is selected)
* Fixed the subnav style issue.
* Updated the error message displayed when no entity is selected or all entities are filtered out.
* Removed link for Google Wave widget subscription [MYOSG-84]
* Fixed the "expired status" issue which was displayed for resources with OK status. [MYOSG-78]
* Adjusted fontsize and paddings for status map bubble.
* (Patched) Hidden Misc. / OSG User page for non OIM registered users
* (Patched) Changed the VO summary item header so that it reflects the sort type
* Other minor Bug Fixes and cosmetic changes.
GOC Ticket 1.25 (https://ticket.grid.iu.edu)
ITB version is now available for testing at https://ticket-itb.grid.iu.edu; we encourage users to test this service before the production release.
* Navigator: Fixed the issue where column selector sometimes doesn't work.
* Navigator: Hidden security ticket for non OIM registered users.
* Admin: Added assignee override features and implemented GUI. [GOCTICKET-42]
* Other minor updates.
Redhat Software Updates
We will be installing Redhat software updates to all production services except for BDII. This will require reboots in most cases; however, in those cases where we have redundancy via DNS round-robin, we will be making use of this to reduce or eliminate service interruption. Only the updates that have already been installed on the ITB hosts will be installed on the production hosts. The production BDII servers will not be updated in this release.
We will be rebooting is1.grid.iu.edu, which has been responding sluggishly since an attempt to install a software update, which was rolled back. This is one of the two BDII servers, and we will be utilizing the DNS round robin to shift traffic to the other server, which is not being rebooted at this time, so we expect no interruption in service.

OSG TWiki (https://twiki.grid.iu.edu)
ITB version is now available for testing at https://twiki-test.grid.iu.edu; we encourage users to test this service before the production release.
Release Notes:
Added new style for CEMon/BDII (http://is.grid.iu.edu)
There has been a security update to OpenLDAP; Redhat has backported a patch to OpenLDAP while maintaining the same major version, as is customary with Redhat Enterprise Linux. This is documented here: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0542.html . At the same time, there are a number of other Redhat updates we would like to install on the two BDII servers, including this kernel update: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0504.html . We will be
making use of our DNS round-robin setup between the two servers to ensure that one of them will always be up and responding to queries.
Timekeeping Improvements on Virtual Machines
The unreliability of the timekeeping on all GOC virtual machines has been a cause for concern for some time. We have followed VMware's best practices (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006427) in terms of ntpd parameters, but this has not been enough, despite VMware's assurances that the "divider=10" kernel parameter is no longer necessary as of RHEL 5.3. After extensive testing we have determined that certain kernel command-line parameters will greatly improve the timekeeping, but in order to make use of them a virtual machine must be rebooted. We will therefore be systematically rebooting GOC services that reside on VMs after altering the kernel parameters to improve the timekeeping. We will also be taking advantage of the maintenance window to apply all recent Redhat security updates. This will affect all GOC services other than BDII (which does not reside on virtual machines), but downtime will in all cases be limited to under 15 minutes, and very likely under 5 minutes.
OIM 2.23 (https://oim.grid.iu.edu)

Gratia Upgrade status update 15:40 UTC
At 10:40 CDT (11:40 EDT, 15:40 UTC) on 2010/07/15, the status of the Gratia upgrades was as follows:
The OSG-PROD service completed its table upgrade at 18:24 CDT 2010/07/14 (19:24 EDT, 23:24 UTC) and started receiving data shortly thereafter.
At 19:08 CDT (20:08 EDT, 00:08 UTC on 2010/07/15) the reporting DB IP was switched over to the collector DB, meaning that the reporting, "snapped forward" in time and continues to catch up as data come in from remote probes. As of this time, the downtime for all services except OSG-TRANSFER is considered complete.
At 21:51 CDT (22:51 EDT, 02:51 UTC on 2010/07/15) the OSG-TRANSFER table upgrade was completed. The service had to be restarted due to a possible timed out connection, meaning that there is a small possibility that some older probes, "froze" and may have to be restarted. As of this time however, the downtime for OSG-TRANSFER is considered complete.
At 10:13 CDT on 2010/07/15 (11:13 EDT, 15:13 UTC) the reporting DB was observed to have caught up to the collector DB and the IP was switched back and backups enabled. Reporter URLs are now pulling their data from the reporting DB.
At this time, the Gratia upgrade is complete and no more disruptions are anticipated.
If anyone believes their probe has become stuck (this should be only a rare occurrence), they should check for processes with "gratia" in the command string (ps auwwx | grep gratia) and kill any that were started yesterday. All probes except dCache-transfer will recover automatically; dCache-transfer probe should be restarted using:
service gratia-dcache-transfer stop
service gratia-dcache-transfer start

Gratia Upgrade status update 20:00 UTC
A little after 15:00 CDT (16:00 EDT, 20:00 UTC), the status of the gratia upgrades was as follows:
1) The legacy redirector service was deactivated at 09:00 CDT (10:00 EDT, 14:00 UTC) as previously announced.
2) OSG-DAILY and OSG-ITB services have been upgraded successfully and are receiving incoming probe data.
3) Based on a very rough estimate of progress (the relative sizes of the upgrading table file and its temporary counterpart on disk), OSG-PROD is expected to come online around 18:30 CDT (19:30 EDT, 23:30 UTC) this evening.
4) At the time OSG-PROD comes back online, we will swap the reporting-DB IP over to the collector DB and the reporting will start to catch up. Meanwhile the upgrades will be replicated to the reporting DB. All service downtimes except OSG-TRANSFER will be considered complete at this time.
5)OSG-TRANSFER is expected to complete by the same token around or before 23:30 CDT (00:30 EDT, 04:30 UTC), at which time it will quietly start receiving data without human intervention.
6)The reporting-DB IP will be switched back to the reporting DB at such time as the replication has caught up, which is likely to be a day or two from now. This will be transparent and will not affect user-visible service.
One particular note: please do not try to kill / restart probes until such time as that service has been marked available in OIM: A hang is expected until that time.

Gratia Scheduled Maintenance 7/14
All FNAL-based Gratia services will be down on 2010/07/14 for OS and service
upgrades. In addition, the previously announced decommissioning of the legacy
redirector service will also take place at this time.
Gratia release notes for v1.06.16:
* Principal improvement is to the housekeeping feature: this is expected to greatly reduce and hopefully eliminate the instances of significant data lag in reporting.
Outage details:
* At about 09:00 CDT (14:00 UTC), incoming data to the GRATIA-OSG-PROD, GRATIA-OSG-ITB, GRATIA-OSG-TRANSFER and GRATIA-OSG-DAILY services will be stopped in such a way as to hopefully eliminate the possibility of probes becoming "stuck" as has happened in the past (note: probe release currently in VDT test cycle will eliminate this completely).
* There will be one data-collection outage of about 20 minutes, with a shorter
outage in reporting as services are shuffled between highly-available servers and the reporting services are upgraded.
* There will be another outage in data collection of much longer duration as
collector services are upgraded. Because a DB schema upgrade is involved, this could be several hours in duration. During this period, reporting services will be available but data will of course be stale.
* When all collectors upgrades are complete, data collection will resume. This is not expected to be later than 16:00 CDT (21:00 UTC), but given the uncertainty in the time required to upgrade each schema service may be resumed in actuality some time earlier or later than this estimate. In any event, the MyOSG downtime page will have the latest details.
* During any data collection outage, data are retained on probes and re-sent when collector service resumes.
* At some point during this period, the legacy redirector service which has up to now redirected probe data sent to obsolete addresses and port numbers, will be deactivated. The upcoming demise of this service has been announced previously.
