Hello everybody! As promised I thought I'd take a look at all the IPv6 tickets this week (no doubt you've all been looking forward to it!). We only have 10 of these left in the UK, so it's not as big a job as it used to be. 39 Open UK Tickets this week. First a look at a few regular ones: TIER 1 https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=138665 (4/12/18) This MICE LFC ticket that was mentioned last week still could do with some attention, it still hasn't been updated since last year. It looks like a connection issue (and a bit of an odd one at that). In Progress (12/12/18) RALPP https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139222 (18/1) A ROD ticket for webdav test failures. Chris has asked where to get some help with figuring out the error code seen when the test fails - the test description link in the ticket appears to be broken. In progress (21/1) QMUL https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139097 (7/1) Any luck fixing these LHCB data transfer failures? In progress (8/1) THE IPv6 TICKETS OXFORD: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131615 Kashif provided a comprehensive update at the start of the month - it looks like some progress is soon going being made, although it looks like it will be a slow process due to the low priority of IPv6 with the Oxford networking people. On Hold (7/1) BRISTOL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131613 Things are looking positive at Bristol, just waiting on some holes in the site firewall for the perfsonar boxen. Any job with that? In progress (21/12) BIRMINGHAM: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131612 More positive news, the new central infrastructure is in place and so hopefully Mark can have a go at dual-stacking soon (I assume after he's killed off his DPM). On Hold (24/12/18) GLASGOW: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131611 Sadly not so positive an update from Glasgow - Gareth explained how their perfsonar revealed v6 traffic issues when it was dual-stacked (which is its job), so they're waiting on this getting fixed. Luckily the usual sticking point of v6 reverse DNS isn't an issue. In progress (4/12) ECDF: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131610 Rob explained in the last update how the physical migration of the site *didn't* break the v6 connectivity of the perfsonar and test DPM (yey!). Dualstacking the production storage was predicted to start around nowish (give or take a month I assume). Any recent news? Now worries if there's not though. In Progress (4/12/18) DURHAM: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131609 Adam forwarded Duncan's information about the JISC Secondary DNS service to the Durham networking team - v6 packets can otherwise flow (just no DNS!). Any word back from them? On Hold (4/12) SHEFFIELD: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131608 There was hope that the perfsonar box could be dualstacked in November, but I assume the usual end of the year rush happened. Any luck dual-stacking it this year? An update for this ticket would be great. In progress (30/10/18) MANCHESTER: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131607 Manchester got a shiny new IPv6 range towards the end of last year. Any luck dual-stacking your storage yet? Any timeframe for doing so if you haven't got round to it yet? In progress (3/12/18) LIVERPOOL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131606 John gave a nice chunky update last month - the site stands ready to dualstack their storage, but just waiting on getting the WAN routing fixed (hopefully sometime soonish). But at least their perfsonar is happily v6'd. In Progress (5/12/18) RHUL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131603 At last check RHUL were waiting on v6 DNS before they could proceed. Simon reported that RHUL were looking at outsourcing this service to JANET, but no word on if/how well that's going/gone. Any news? An update would be appreciated. In progress (29/10) And that's all the v6 tickets. If it looks like progress has stalled please switch your tickets to "On Hold". Cheers all!
