Dear All
After the advance warning yesterday, here (see below) is now the
official request for us to upgrade sites at the old versions.
I am looking for the (well a recent) WLCG/EGEE recommended versions
list. Of course the update notices say it all if in any doubt. We can
review at the UKI meeting tomorrow:
http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=64531.
On the lighter side, in searching for the list I was reminded of the
"Error message hall of fame":
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/BestErrorMessages. I'm sure we
can add to it!
Jeremy

Subject: Request to upgrade ancient WNs (new DPM for SAM causes failures
at
10% of the sites)
Dear ROC managers,
The SAM CE tests include the replication of a file from the site's
default SE for "ops" to a central SE, for which a DPM node at CERN is
the default choice and thereby almost always used. This node still runs
SLC3, which is no longer supported and must be upgraded. Testing on SLC4
with the latest DPM version for gLite 3.1 shows that if the switch were
made today, approximately 10% of Production sites would fail the CE
tests due to old versions of GFAL and lcg-utils running on their Worker
Nodes! Sites in Italy and UKI are particularly affected.
For example, RAL has versions of lcg-utils that are over a year old. In
the meantime, there have been 18 updates, including 3 marked high
priority!
Therefore, this is a call to all sites that are failing the CE tests in
the SAM Validation instance to upgrade their WNs to the latest version
ASAP. We would like to migrate the SAM DPM production instance in ~3
weeks from now (by Monday 10th of August).
So, please, all ROCs, follow this up with your sites - if need be, by
opening GGUS tickets.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Maite
There are at least these 45 problematic CEs spread over 36 sites
