Holiday Greetings from OSG Operations
Dear OSG Collaborators,
OSG Operations would like to wish you a happy holiday season and a joyous new year!
We'd like to thank the OSG resource providers and users worldwide that have helped us provide more than 1.3 Billion hours of compute time this calendar year (see http://display.grid.iu.edu/ for a full summary). OSG Operations will continue to provide round the clock holiday coverage in case of operational emergencies over the holiday season. You can continue to open tickets at https://ticket.grid.iu.edu/, send us mail at goc@openscinecegrid.org, or call us at +1 (317)-278-9699. However, we will be operating on holiday procedures beginning on Monday, December 26th, and resuming regular staffing on Tuesday, January 3rd. During this time non-emergency issues will be handled on a best-effort basis.
Operations Weekly Calls will resume on Jan 9.
Thanks to everyone for another successful year! We look forward to working with everyone in 2017!

OSG Connect downtime (Dec 19 - Dec 26)
To prepare for the upcoming year, we will be taking a one week downtime of OSG Connect starting Monday, December 19th through Monday, December 26th.
We aim to accomplish two major service upgrades:
- Update of Stash to the latest long-term support release of Ceph (0.94.x -> 10.2.x)
- Migration of all home directories to a newer, faster array (40TB)
In addition to the service upgrades above, we will use the downtime to test and benchmark all Connect services and update system software. During this time, all Connect services will be down and users will not be able to log in.
Most importantly, please backup any critical data on Stash. We recommend using Globus to manage this, see help desk documentation at bit.ly/globus-xfer. Once the downtime has been completed or needs to be extended, we will let you know. As always, please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely
The OSG User Support Team
