The majority of the gLite 3.1 products are no longer supported (please see
the gLite 3.1 support calendar: http://glite.cern.ch/R3.1/) and SL4 reached
end of security support on 02/02/2012. This means that no further security
patches for this Linux distribution will be available in the future.
For these reasons, in the February meeting the egi Operations Management
Board approved the following decommissioning plan.
By 30/09/2012 all the instances of the following products need to be phased
out:
– lcg-ce
– any site-BDII instance earlier than 3.2.10-1 (i.e. not GLUE 2.0
compatible)
– all gLite 3.1 currently unsupported products, this includes all gLite 3.1
products with the exception of gLite-Cluster, glite-LSF_utils,
glite-SGE_utils, glite-TORQUE_utils (http://glite.cern.ch/R3.1/).
After 30/09/2012 sites still hosting one of the services in the above list
will be suspended.
In order to plan your upgrade, please consult with your NGI/EIRO and your
supported VO.
For sites still hosting glite3.1 Worker Nodes, please note that changing the
execution environment on the worker nodes may cause issues with the code of
the user applications. When planning an update of the glite-WN release or of
the operating system (from SL4 to SL5 or SL6), please make sure this is
tested and coordinated with your user communities and your NGI/EIRO.
Please note:
- most of the gLite 3.2 products are reaching end of security support on
April 30 2012;
- the security support of gLite 3.2 glite-WN was recently extended to Sep 30
2012 in order to allow more time to sites and VOs to fully assess the impact
of the replacement of glite 3.2 WN/UI with versions from EMI 1 or EMI 2;
- the EMI 2 release is currently scheduled on April 30 2012.
If your site is supporting LHC VOs please see the WLCG list of baseline
services defined at:
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGBaselineVersions.
For information about UMD releases see:
http://repository.egi.eu/category/umd_releases/distribution/umd_1/
Plese report problems with updates to GGUS (http://helpdesk.egi.eu/).
Best wishes

I would like to inform you that the end of security support of the following
products:
- glite 3.2 glite-WN
- glite 3.2 glite-UI
is extended by the EMI project from April 30 2012 to September 30 2012.
Purpose of this extension is allow more time to sites and VOs to fully assess
the impact of the replacement of glite 3.2 WN/UI with versions from EMI 1 or
EMI 2.
The EMI 2 release is currently scheduled on April 30 2012.
No upgrade path is provided from gLite 3.2 to EMI 1/EMI 2. EMI releases
depend on the EPEL repository, which is incompatible with the DAG repository
used in gLite 3.2.
VOs are requested to engage with sites and NGIs so that this change is
properly tested. Various testbed facilities are available (from the EMI
project and from NGIs). Please contact the EGI Operations Support Unit in
GGUS if you need help.
Problems need to be reported in GGUS. Issues and findings will be
periodically discussed at the Monday fortnightly operations meetings:
https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Grid_Operations_Meetings (participation is open).
Best wishes.

Dear gLite users,
A new version of lcg-vomscerts has been released for gLite 3.1.
lcg-vomscerts 6.9.0 adds next cert for voms.cern.ch
and removes old cert for lcg-voms.cern.ch
The rpm is available in the gLite 3.1 yum repositories of:
* glite-FTS_oracle
* glite-WMS
Please note that the repository of the lcg-CE IS NOT going
to be updated with this version of lcg-vomscerts.
The lcg-CE no longer needs lcg-vomscerts when it has
been configured correctly. i.e. when for each supported VO a directory
/etc/grid-security/vomsdir/<vo> contains a "*.lsc" file for each of
its VOMS servers.
YAIM handles that automatically, see the "VO_<vo-name>_VOMSES" and
"VO_<vo-name>_VOMS_CA_DN" variables in the YAIM documentation:
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/Site-info_configuration_variables
To update just the lcg-vomscerts rpm:
yum update lcg-vomscerts
For other node types, or sites that do not use yum or YAIM, the rpm is
available here:
http://eticssoft.web.cern.ch/eticssoft/repository/org.glite/lcg-vomscerts/6…

The gLite Release Team
