Hi,
Many of you are probably aware that currently identical CVMFS repositories are maintained within both 'gridpp.ac.uk' and 'egi.eu' domain spaces.
As the plan is to continue only with the 'egi.eu', I am planing to stop publishing most of the *.gridpp.ac.uk CVMFS repositories (notable exceptions are the {northgrid,southgrid,scotgrid,londongrid}.gridpp.ac.uk repositories), and therefore I would like to ask site admins to re-define (where is the case) the values for the VO_<voname>_SW_DIR environment variables so they will point to the 'egi.eu' CVMFS space (and not 'gridpp.ac.uk').
i.e. from old definition VO_MICE_SW_DIR=/cvmfs/mice.gridpp.ac.uk
to the new definiton VO_MICE_SW_DIR=/cvmfs/mice.egi.eu
or from VO_CERNATSCHOOL_ORG_SW_DIR=/cvmfs/cernatschool.gridpp.ac.uk to VO_CERNATSCHOOL_ORG_SW_DIR=/cvmfs/cernatschool.egi.eu
Obviously, your CVMFS configurations need support for the 'egi.eu' domain. If this is not the case (less likely), please install cvmfs-keys-1.5-1 or better upgrade to cvmfs-2.1.20.
There is no need to define new variables, but to change accordingly the existing ones (i.e. for the VOs each site is supporting) and definitely *do*not* change the existing definitions for VO_VO_NORTHGRID_AC_UK_SW_DIR, VO_VO_SOUTHGRID_AC_UK_SW_DIR, VO_VO_SCOTGRID_AC_UK_SW_DIR and VO_VO_LONDONGRID_AC_UK_SW_DIR (if any).
Also because of the UK regional VO repositories (agreed to continue as part of .gridpp.ac.uk), please do not remove any settings related to this domain from your /etc/cvmfs/* configurations.
Just to mention that I carried similar campaigns at other non-UK sites, and at that time I had been in contact with SGMs from the involved VOs, and they all agreed and were happy with the redefinition of VO_SW_DIR variables concerning their VOs.
A tentative date to stop the publishing of the old domain is 30 June 2015, so could you make sure you'll have all in place by then? I will give a reminder during next Tuesday Ops meeting.
Best regards,
Catalin Condurache
