Dear Site Manager
This message is to remind you about the approaching deadline for the
retirement of gLite 3.1 and *currently unsupported* gLite 3.2 products.
gLite 3.1
======
As already announced in [1] and in a number of other advisories, the gLite
3.1 distribution is now no longer supported (http://glite.cern.ch/R3.1/) and
SL4 reached end of security support on 02/02/2012. Security patches for gLite
3.1 and SL4 are no longer available.
Unsupported gLite 3.2 products
====================
The gLite 3.2 components currently out of security support are: APEL, ARGUS,
BDII, Cluster, CREAM, dCache, LB, LSF utils, MPI utils, SCAS, SGE utils,
Torque client/server/utils, VOMS [1].
Decommissioning by 30-09-2012
=====================
gLite 3.1 products and *unsupported* gLite 3.2 software components have to be
retired by 30-09-2012. Site managers can choose between the option of
upgrading to a supported UMD release of the product [2] in consultation with
the supported VOs, or the decommissioning of the service following the
related procedure [3].
Note well: this retirement calendar does not apply to gLite 3.2 products that
are still supported. As already announced in [4], the support of glite 3.2
glite-UI, glite-WN, glite-GLEXEC_wn, glite-LFC_mysql/glite-LFC_oracle,
glite-SE_dpm_disk/glite-SE_dpm_mysql was recently extended to 30/11/2012.
Escalation
=======
Starting from 01-10-2012 site managers of Resource Centres found to be
hosting unsupported gLite 3.1/3.2 services, will be contacted through GGUS by
the Central Grid Oversight team to request the retirement of the affected
products.
Resource Centres that will fail to retire unsupported gLite software by
01-11-2012, will be eligible for suspension and the problem will be escalated
to EGI CSIRT for the enforcement of this suspension policy.
For any request of support please contact the EGI Helpdesk
(http://helpdesk.egi.eu/).
Best wishes.
