Hey Serge,

Ik denk eerder als 'pvier' en misschien als 'vlemed' (als ik zou weten wat jouw 'vlemed' email adres betekent ;-)) Er was hier wat verwarring ontstaan over wie dit mailtje heeft gehad: ik denk dat het eerder een technisch probleem is geweest (mail niet correct doorgestuurd naar alle email lijsten) dan een menselijk probleem.

Zou je ajb een test mailtje kunnen sturen naar jouw 'vlemed' mail lijst en/of naar vlemed-vo-managers@biggrid.nl ?

groetjes,

Jan Just

Hey JJ,

voila. waarschijnlijk heb jij het als VO manager van lsgrid gekregen? Grt! Srg ________________________________________ From: Vrijaldenhoven, Serge Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 11:02 To: enmr.eu; lsgrid; dteam; ops; vlemed; pvier Subject: changes in HTC-BIGGRID

Dear VO admin,

Since HTC-BIGGRID supports your VO, we want to notify you of some changes to HTC-BIGGRID. Please notify your VO-members.

Tuesday 8 December 2009 the HTC-BIGGRID infrastructure will be updated. During this day HTC-BIGGRID will therefore have limited availability. The following changes will occur:

--- All worker nodes (that execute your jobs) and the user interface will be updated from: Scientific Linux SL release 4.6 (Beryllium) (64bit) - gLite 3.1 to: Scientific Linux SL release 5.3 (Boron) (64bit) - gLite 3.2

How does this affect users of the computing infrastructure?

• Users that use specific software might find that this software does not function correctly on SL5.3 anymore. Please test your software after the change, before submittion large jobs.

--- To improve the uniformity of the computing resources at the various BiG Grid sites (Nikhef, Sara, Philips Research, RUG) towards the users, all sites will define a set of identical queues (concerning name and properties) on their computing systems. At grid site HTC-BIGGRID, we have created new queues that will replace/change some of the existing queues. The following queues will be available at HTC-BIGGRID per December 8th, 2009:

Queue name Max wall time Access infra 0:30 ops, dteam, pvier short 4:00 all supported VOs medium 36:00 all supported VOs default local users long 72:00 per request (at http://www.biggrid.nl/en/big-grid-infrastructure/distributed-facilities/ you can review these queues)

How does this affect users of the computing infrastructure?

• Users who do not explicitly submit jobs to a specific queue, do not have to take any action;
• Users who put a statement in the .jdl file to select a specific queue may have to change the queue name in the .jdl file;
• Users who directly submit jobs to a Computing Element and queue via the command glite-wms-job-submit using the option

"--resource <CE>:2119/jobmanager-pbs-<QUEUE>" may have to change the name for <QUEUE>.

Do not reply to this email directly. If you have any questions, please contact: grid.support@htc.biggrid.nl

Greetings, Srg
