The GOC will upgrade the following services beginning at Tuesday, November 9th, 2010 at 14:00 UTC. The GOC reserves four hours (14:00 - 18:00 UTC) in the unlikely event that unexpected problems are encountered.
BDII Service Upgrade Plan
The first step in the BDII Upgrade Plan will be implemented. This will consist of a BDII Version 5 machine being brought up at is3.grid.iu.edu. This instance will NOT be put into DNS Round Robin, but will be a production quality service available for testing of Version 5 of the BDII Software.
The full BDII Upgrade document is available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sYZyZcPtWD3ZXp6-YQF7Wzty_9wJuQRbokDcSWgd7b4/edit?authkey=CJOH65UJ&hl=en#.
RSV-Client (GOC Internal Service)
Fixed an issue where the following probes were not passing HTTP error codes to the probe output.
* apache-responsive-probe
* myosg-rgsummary-probe
* rsv-collector-available-probe
OIM 2.28 (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.
* Changed location selector on Site Editor to a required field [OIM-58]
* Updated installed capacity report scripts to generates HTML formatted report.

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.

OIM 2.26 (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.
Added features to store and allow editing of TWiki IDs.
Minor layout change on resource editor (indented wlcg_accounting_name field)
MyOSG 1.28 (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.
[Misc / ServiceStatus] Reduced the number of services with UNKNOWN status
Minor CSS change for Status Map (for better integration with OSG Display)
GOC Ticket 1.29 (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.
Added submitter information when a ticket is initially created (similar to previous fix made on missing submitter when non-Footprint agent updates a ticket)
Moved the form explanations verbiage to each submission page
Minor CSS change for Filter box on ticket navigator (shorten it slightly)
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. The only packages we will update will be those that do not require system restarts.

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.
