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.

GOC Service Update - Tuesday, May 25th at 14:00 UTC
The GOC will upgrade the following services beginning at Tuesday, May 25 2010 at 14:00 UTC.
Special Note about short expected intermittent outages
A short intermittent outage of (~10 minutes) is expected for all the services listed below while the GOC adjusts the virtual machine settings one VM host at a time; For example, myosg2 might be down for 10 minutes while myosg1 is still available for anyone trying to access myosg.grid.iu.edu. Additionally, the GOC reserves four hours (14:00 - 18:00 UTC) in the unlikely event that unexpected problems are encountered.
Update 2010-05-24: The GOC will also restart the NSCD daemon with an updated configuration on the BDII servers is1 and is2 during this maintenance. This is expected to be completely transparent to the outside world, and users of the BDII should not experience any problems.
OIM 2.19 (https://oim.grid.iu.edu)
ITB version is now available for testing at https://oim-itb.grid.iu.edu; we encourage users to test this service before the production release.
Release Notes:
* Added direct link to register a new vo, sc, or resource on the home page.
* Converted descriptive text to tooltips on homepage.
* Added tooltips on VO page (Expect more of this in the future!)
Patched since last release:
* Fixed an issue which caused a null pointer exception when an empty Log ID was parsed by a specific Log function.
* Fixed authorization bug in Contact and ProfileEdit Servlets.
MyOSG 1.19 (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.
Release Notes:
* Added Resource ID to ResourceGroup / Current RSV Status XML (URL that starts with /rgcurrentstatus); NOTE: Registered XML users have been notified.
GOC-TX Ticket Exchange/Sync System 1.6 (tx.grid.iu.edu)
The ITB TX server has been functioning properly.
Release Notes:
* Switched the order of metadata / comment update on RT accessor so that when RT sends an update, the metadata shown on it has the latest information.
* Added logic for BNL so that it will use comment action instead of correspondence if ticket status is going to be resolved in order to avoid re-opening of the ticket due to ticket update (a necessary change due to metadata / comment reorder)
* Update GOC-TX so that if GGUS's ticket status is currently "verified" and if the new status is "solved", then GOC-TX will not do the update. We do something similar thing for RT already - we need to have this logic because the concept of "verified" status currently exist only in GGUS.
* Added code to append custom field information for RT during ticket update.
* Added CF.{VO Name} for GOC > RT conversion.
* Updating Associate RG name to "Resource Group Name" for GOC>BNL converter
