GOC Service Update - 13:00 UTC September 27th
The GOC will upgrade the following services beginning Tuesday, September 27th, 2011 at 13:00 UTC. The GOC reserves four hours (13:00 - 17:00 UTC) in the unlikely event that unexpected problems are encountered. We encourage users to test affected services before the production release.
MyOSG 1.40
ITB version is now available for testing at https://myosg-itb.grid.iu.edu
Added links to gratiaweb service on home page, and gratia accounting pages [GOCTICKET 11025]
Added XML View for Statua Map [MYOSG-26]
GOC Ticket 1.43
ITB version is now available for testing at https://ticket-itb.grid.iu.edu
Added patch for missing cc list for bulkresource submitter.
Added session clear code after the bulkresources are submitted - in order to prevent double submission.
Added sorting function to quickdesc list
TWIKI
ITB version is now available for testing at https://twiki-itb.grid.iu.edu
Patching security vulnerability (CVE-2011-3010) which affects new topic screen & SlideShowPlugin
VM Move
myosg2.grid.iu.edu and data2.grid.iu.edu will be moved from their current VM host in Indianapolis to a host in Bloomington. This has been done with twiki.grid and oim.grid in the past. These hosts are each part of a DNS round-robin, which will be used to direct traffic to the hosts that are not moving, so we expect no interruption in service due to this move. This is an advisory just in case, however.
OS Updates
We will be installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux updates to all services, including an update to Apache that addresses the RANGE header vulnerability (CVE-2011-3192). There is a kernel patch included, which means that there will need to be restarts. Downtime is to be expected, although in the case of is.grid.iu.edu we will make use of DNS to route traffic to the server that is up.

GOC Production Glidein Factory service is up
Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the GOC hosted Glidein Factory is up and ready to go. Any VOs interested in using it can contact us at osg-gfactory-support@physics.ucsd.edu and we will register your frontend to use it.
The new production instance uses glideinWMS 2.5.2 and condor 7.6.3. We will follow standard GOC change management procedures for any major upgrades or software updates for this instance. Major updates will happen under the usual maintenance windows on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month and any changes will be tested the week prior on our ITB Factory instance.
As usual if you have any questions please contact us at osg-gfactory-support@physics.ucsd.edu.
