Hi,
Following yesterday's problems with the upgrade of databases for the LFC & FTS services to Oracle version 11, work has been carrying on to restore the LFC service used by a number of non-LHC VOs. It is expected that this LFC service will be returned to production tomorrow morning (Friday 15th June) - although it may be earlier.
The problems arose during the process of updating the Oracle software, rather than the database itself. The subsequent attempt to revert the software back to Oracle 10 also ran into difficulties. The data has now been copied elsewhere and the database nodes have been reinstalled with Oracle 11. Patching and checking of this is going on, the data will then be re-imported into the Oracle 11 database, and final checks made before the service is returned to production.
The FTS service was restored at the end of yesterday afternoon using a fresh database running elsewhere.
Gareth Smith.
