Dear VO Managers and Site Administrators

I would like to inform you that the end of security support of the following products: - glite 3.2 glite-UI - glite 3.2 glite-WN - glite 3.2 glite-GLEXEC_wn - glite 3.2 glite-LFC_mysql/glite-LFC_oracle - glite 3.2 glite-SE_dpm_disk/glite-SE_dpm_mysql

was extended to 30/11/2012 (http://glite.cern.ch/support_calendar/).

The extension of security support of glite-WN has the purpose of allowing more time to VOs for assessing the running of their computational jobs on EMI 1 (sl5) - released with UMD 1.0.0 [1], and EMI 2 WN (sl5/sl6) - released with UMD 2.1.0 [2]. VOs are highly recommended to run tests in order to have a safe migration from gLite to EMI. For instructions see the broadcast message https://operations-portal.egi.eu/broadcast/archive/id/699 sent on 2012-07-19.

As VO readiness towards EMI 1 and 2 WN is still being assessed, site administrators should *not* upgrade production WNs to EMI 1 or 2 until further notice, unless there is confidence that the upgrade will not affect application software of the supported VOs and there is an agreement with them.

As to DPM, an upgrade from gLite 3.2 to EMI/UMD is now possible without re-installation as documented at [3]. Please contact the EGI helpdesk (http://helpdesk.egi.eu/) for support.

Best wishes. Tiziana Ferrari - EGI Operations
