UPDATE: Upcoming GGUS-GOC Ticket Exchange Outage - December 9, 2010
THIS IS AN UPDATE FOR THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE:
The schedule for the GGUS Certificate change has been moved. The change will now be made at 14:00 UTC on Thursday, December 9, 2010, which is 8:00am local time for the GOC. This will allow us to greatly shorten the ticket exchange outage. Please note that while no problems are expected, we will check to make sure that all tickets were exchanged correctly during the time it takes to switch our trusted certificate.
Again, during this time, all Alarm-level events will generate telephone calls.

Upcoming GGUS-GOC Ticket Exchange Outage - December 9, 2010
On December 9, 2010, at 8:00 UTC (2:00 AM EST) the GGUS certificate allowing exchange of tickets with the GOC will be updated. This will require an update to the trusted certificate list at the GOC which will occur during working hours in the eastern time one. Between these events, tickets will not propagate between the two systems. After the update at the GOC, any tickets created during the 2:00-8:00 interval will be manually propagated as appropriate. Alarm level events will generate telephone calls as usual during this period.
The GOC has requested that this change be delayed until working hours in the US but has not yet received a response to this request. We will update this notification if the situation changes.

Indianapolis BDII (is2.grid.iu.edu) Instability
Data instability was seen today in the Indianapolis-based BDII (is2.grid.iu.edu) between the hours of 18:30 UTC and 21:45 UTC. During this time availability of OSG Sites Data was inconsistent.
The problem was traced back to a IP renumbering project which had unforeseen affects on our internal DNS and LDAP. As soon as the issue was identified, the maintenance was stopped and service was rolled back to the pre-maintenance configuration.

Redhat Enterprise Linux Software Updates
We will be installing software updates that do not require system restarts, so no downtime is expected due to this. Since last month, the only software update Redhat has released that affects GOC systems and is marked Critical is a security update to the java-1.6.0-sun package. There are also a number of updates of lesser importance, which we will also install, with a few exceptions. Some of those noncritical updates are to the kernel, glibc, and related packages, which would require system restarts, so we will not be installing those at this time.

Reminder: GOC Machine Room Maintenance - Tuesday, October 12th at 14:00 UTC
Due to a site-wide machine room reorganization the GOC will be moving its Indianapolis-based servers to a new rack beginning at 14:00 UTC on Tuesday, October 12, 2010.
The moving of each server will take only a short time, probably no more than 10 minutes, but we are reserving up to an hour in case of unexpected complications. We will be using the DNS round-robin to shift traffic to the Bloomington servers during this time where possible (CEMon/BDII, MyOSG, the OSG Software Cache, and the GOC Ticketing System).
Services that will be affected include:
BDII: Will remain online but may experience degraded service. We have seen ATLAS SAM test failures while doing similar maintenance.
OSG TWiki: Will experience a short downtime during this window.
OSG Information Management (OIM): Will experience a short downtime during this window.
The move to the new rack should result in improved cooling and power infrastructure for the GOC's Indianapolis-based servers. We appreciate everyone's patience during this transition.

GOC Machine Room Maintenance - Tuesday, October 12th at 14:00 UTC
Due to a site-wide machine room reorganization the GOC will be moving its Indianapolis-based servers to a new rack beginning at 14:00 UTC on Tuesday, October 12, 2010.
The moving of each server will take only a short time, probably no more than 10 minutes, but we are reserving up to an hour in case of unexpected complications. We will be using the DNS round-robin to shift traffic to the Bloomington servers during this time where possible (CEMon/BDII, MyOSG, the OSG Software Cache, and the GOC Ticketing System).
Services that will be affected include:
BDII: Will remain online but may experience degraded service. We have seen ATLAS SAM test failures while doing similar maintenance.
OSG TWiki: Will experience a short downtime during this window.
OSG Information Management (OIM): Will experience a short downtime during this window.

GOC Service Upgrade - Tuesday, October 12th at 14:00 UTC
The GOC will upgrade the following services beginning at Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 at 14:00 UTC. The GOC reserves four hours (14:00 - 18:00 UTC) in the unlikely event that unexpected problems are encountered.
CEMon/BDII - *ITB Only* (http://is-itb.grid.iu.edu)
* Install-Capacitor filtering script / Storage capacity adjustments
o processing of storage capacity based on resource group and resource name
o adjustment of storage capacity based on OIM data
* Added new monitors & munin metrics.
* Increased the number of processors assigned to 2
Software Cache (https://software.grid.iu.edu)
* For the Certificate form, vo-sponsor file was updated.
OSG Display 1.0.7 (http://display.grid.iu.edu)
* Changed the data load frequency indicator to 10 minutes. 5 minutes update was causing too much load on source Gratia DB. It is now update every 10 minutes.
GOC Ticket 1.28 (https://ticket.grid.iu.edu)
Bug Fixes
* Fixed the bug where non-admin edit doesn't mark the generic submitter's name in the description and metadata [GOCTICKET-75]
* Fixed the mailto encoding issue for the ticket viewer
All Servers - Renumber Private VLAN IPs
This will not affect the public IPs of any servers; it will only affect the internal private VLAN that the GOC uses to allow servers to talk privately amongst themselves. There may be slight service irregularities, but nothing that is expected to last more than a few minutes as the various nameservice caches expire.

OSG 1.2.14 Release Notification
OSG Operations and Integration are pleased to announce the release of OSG version 1.2.14.
The following components are affected:
* CE installations
* CEMon being used for reporting on larger sites
* OSG client and wn-client installation (due to updates to MyProxy, Fetch-CRL, Glexec, and OpenLDAP)
* Sites using Glexec
This release also incorporates smaller fixes to a variety of components distributed in the OSG stack. Although any given change is not very large, a large number of components have been updated.
Highlights of the changes include:
* setup.sh is no longer sourced by the Globus jobmanager, reducing the load and I/O on gatekeepers
* Tomcat's settings have been altered to use 512MB of memory, this helps to avoid out-of-memory error in CEMon seen by larger sites
* the vdt-updater script has been altered so that subsequent updates will not require a second backup
* Glexec has been updated and includes a fix for users that have run a grid-proxy-init instead of voms-proxy-init
* small security updates to MySQL, Apache httpd, and OpenLDAP
* LFC has been updated to 1.7.4-7
See the VDT release notice for more detailed information. Notable fixes include support for grid-proxy-init in Glexec and security fixes in MySQL, Apache, and OpenLDAP.
Update instructions can be found on the OSG Twiki under the OSG 1.2 update instructions:

GOC Service Update - Tuesday, August 24th at 14:00 UTC
The GOC will upgrade the following services beginning at Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 at 14:00 UTC. The GOC reserves four hours (14:00 - 18:00 UTC) in the unlikely event that unexpected problems are encountered.
GOC Ticket Synchronizer 1.11
* Updated MySQL Connector/J, and fixed load balancing issue with data1/2.
* Updated BNL production RT's default queue name to StorageManagement as requested by Jason
* Added GGUS > FP conversion for GGUS "Ticket Type" field, and FP > BNL converstion.
* (Patched) Fixed the build file issue for missing lib directory.
* (Patched) Added "loadbalance:" token for JDBC URL which was somehow missing.
* Added more logs during sync table connection.
MyOSG 1.25 (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.
* Applied similar update I made for sc and vo page (for better error message when no resource is selected)
* Fixed the subnav style issue.
* Updated the error message displayed when no entity is selected or all entities are filtered out.
* Removed link for Google Wave widget subscription [MYOSG-84]
* Fixed the "expired status" issue which was displayed for resources with OK status. [MYOSG-78]
* Adjusted fontsize and paddings for status map bubble.
* (Patched) Hidden Misc. / OSG User page for non OIM registered users
* (Patched) Changed the VO summary item header so that it reflects the sort type
* Other minor Bug Fixes and cosmetic changes.
GOC Ticket 1.25 (https://ticket.grid.iu.edu)
ITB version is now available for testing at https://ticket-itb.grid.iu.edu; we encourage users to test this service before the production release.
* Navigator: Fixed the issue where column selector sometimes doesn't work.
* Navigator: Hidden security ticket for non OIM registered users.
* Admin: Added assignee override features and implemented GUI. [GOCTICKET-42]
* Other minor updates.
Redhat Software Updates
We will be installing Redhat software updates to all production services except for BDII. This will require reboots in most cases; however, in those cases where we have redundancy via DNS round-robin, we will be making use of this to reduce or eliminate service interruption. Only the updates that have already been installed on the ITB hosts will be installed on the production hosts. The production BDII servers will not be updated in this release.
We will be rebooting is1.grid.iu.edu, which has been responding sluggishly since an attempt to install a software update, which was rolled back. This is one of the two BDII servers, and we will be utilizing the DNS round robin to shift traffic to the other server, which is not being rebooted at this time, so we expect no interruption in service.

MyOSG 1.25 (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.
* Applied similar update I made for sc and vo page (for better error message when no resource is selected)
* Fixed the subnav style issue.
* Updated the error message displayed when no entity is selected or all entities are filtered out.
* Removed link for Google Wave widget subscription [MYOSG-84]

* Other minor Bug Fixes and cosmetic changes.
GOC Ticket 1.25 (https://ticket.grid.iu.edu)
ITB version is now available for testing at https://ticket-itb.grid.iu.edu; we encourage users to test this service before the production release.
* Navigator: Fixed the issue where column selector sometimes doesn't work.
* Navigator: Hidden security ticket for non OIM registered users.
* Admin: Added assignee override features and implemented GUI. [GOCTICKET-42]
* Other minor updates.
Redhat Software Updates
We will be installing Redhat software updates to all production services except for BDII. This will require reboots in most cases; however, in those cases where we have redundancy via DNS round-robin, we will be making use of this to reduce or eliminate service interruption. Only the updates that have already been installed on the ITB hosts will be installed on the production hosts. The production BDII servers will not be updated in this release.
We will be rebooting is1.grid.iu.edu, which has been responding sluggishly since an attempt to install a software update, which was rolled back. This is one of the two BDII servers, and we will be utilizing the DNS round robin to shift traffic to the other server, which is not being rebooted at this time, so we expect no interruption in service.

OSG TWiki (https://twiki.grid.iu.edu)
ITB version is now available for testing at https://twiki-test.grid.iu.edu; we encourage users to test this service before the production release.
Release Notes:
Added new style for CEMon/BDII (http://is.grid.iu.edu)
There has been a security update to OpenLDAP; Redhat has backported a patch to OpenLDAP while maintaining the same major version, as is customary with Redhat Enterprise Linux. This is documented here: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0542.html . At the same time, there are a number of other Redhat updates we would like to install on the two BDII servers, including this kernel update: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0504.html . We will be
making use of our DNS round-robin setup between the two servers to ensure that one of them will always be up and responding to queries.
Timekeeping Improvements on Virtual Machines
The unreliability of the timekeeping on all GOC virtual machines has been a cause for concern for some time. We have followed VMware's best practices (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006427) in terms of ntpd parameters, but this has not been enough, despite VMware's assurances that the "divider=10" kernel parameter is no longer necessary as of RHEL 5.3. After extensive testing we have determined that certain kernel command-line parameters will greatly improve the timekeeping, but in order to make use of them a virtual machine must be rebooted. We will therefore be systematically rebooting GOC services that reside on VMs after altering the kernel parameters to improve the timekeeping. We will also be taking advantage of the maintenance window to apply all recent Redhat security updates. This will affect all GOC services other than BDII (which does not reside on virtual machines), but downtime will in all cases be limited to under 15 minutes, and very likely under 5 minutes.
OIM 2.23 (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.

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.
1) The legacy redirector service was deactivated at 09:00 CDT (10:00 EDT, 14:00 UTC) as previously announced.

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.

OSG DocDB Outage Resolved
Access via certificate to the OSG DocDB has been restored. We are
working on diagnosing the problem and apologize for the inconvenience as
the service was unavailable.
OSG DocDB Administrators
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
GOC Ticket 1.19 (https://ticket.grid.iu.edu)

Release Notes:
* Made Ticket Viewer to show priority tags when ticket has higher priority
* [For GOC Staff only] On Myticket page, changed the table header to reflect that fact that it includes CC-ed ticket

Scheduled Maintenance is2.grid.iu.edu - GOC Ticket # 8530
The GOC has scheduled removal of is2.grid.iu.edu from round-robin for is.grid.iu.edu on Monday, May 10, 2010 11:00 EST (15:00 UTC), to enable work on resolving potential operating system and/or hardware issues. We do not have an ETA for when is2 will be added back into the BDII round-robin, we expect it to be out of commission for at least 2 weeks. We will announce via a follow up notification when we have a clear idea. During the time is2 is offline, the is1 server is expected to handle all the BDII traffic without any issues - the GOC will monitor the situation.

Some OSG CEs Facing Intermittent CEMon Reporting Problems - GOC Ticket # 8530
OSG Operations was made aware of an issue of some CEMon clients on production CEs not reporting to the OSG CEMon collector; consequently, those CEs did not show up on the BDII.
GOC staff and USCMS admins have started troubleshooting this issue, and have found a temporary work around by removing one of the two CEMon collectors (on is2) from activity. The raw LDIF data is still being rsynced between the two servers. At this point all information is available in the OSG BDII and being sent properly to the WLCG. Investigations of the cause and work toward a fix will continue when business hours resume tomorrow.

This is a security update for all OSG installations using Gratia probes to report accounting information. The urgency of this update depends on the following factors:
* If your resource is using Gratia probes to report accounting information and are using Condor or Managed Fork, you should apply this update to prevent authorized local users from gaining elevated privileges
* Other resources using Gratia probes for accounting can treat this as a low priority security update that may prevent authorized local users from being able to run a DOS attack on Gratia reporting
* Resources not using Gratia do not need to apply this update since it does not apply in this case
This release updates two software components, see the complete list below.
* Gratia probes
* osg-version
Please see the VDT release notes for more details: http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/releases/1.10.1/release-p25.html
Update instructions can be found on the OSG twiki under the OSG 1.0.6: https://twiki.grid.iu.edu/bin/view/ReleaseDocumentation/OSG106UpdateInstructions
Sites using rpms to install Gratia probes should update their rpms to the latest versions in accordance with the guidelines given in the summary.

GOC Footprints Mail Anomaly
During a test of the Footprints server redundancy this afternoon, the GRNOC at IU mistakenly re-sent some old ticket emails as a part of the sendmail turn up on the second server. The duplicate sendmail queue was halted and emptied. We are investigating all ticket exchanges to ensure that there are no further issues. We apologize to any OSG collaborator that may have been inconvenienced by these emails and are here to answer any questions.
