Dear Belle 2 VO managers,

On 10 June we sent you an invitation to fill in this short survey about your possible use of DPM legacy tools (SRM) before the end of this month:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2ZMZJVG

We have been given an indication that you are still using this functionality, but to date have not received a completed survey from yourselves. As such, we would politely remind you to fill in this survey over the coming days so we can after assistance in moving away from this deprecated functionality.

Further details about this change are available from here:

Best regards

Dear VO Managers and Users,

I'm contacting you to inform you that CESNET's cloud resource center
CESNET-MetaCloud [1] is beginning the decommissioning process (as
specified by EGI's PROC12 & PROC11).

This affects services:
- carach5.ics.muni.cz (eu.egi.cloud.vm-management.occi)
- carach5.ics.muni.cz (eu.egi.cloud.accounting)
- carach5.ics.muni.cz (eu.egi.cloud.vm-metadata.vmcatcher)
- carach5.ics.muni.cz (Site-BDII)

I would like to ask you to transfer resources intended for ongoing
operation at CESNET to our new infrastructure
CESNET-MCC / CESNET MetaCentrum Cloud / https://cloud2.metacentrum.cz [2].

I would also like to ask you to terminate/delete unneeded resources
as soon as possible. VO managers, please, coordinate this effort with
VO members responsible for individual resources.

We expect to suspend operations of this resource center by July 15, 2019.
Full decommissioning will follow and is expected to complete by the end of
July 2019.

If you have any questions or encounter any problems when (de)provisioning
your resources, please, do not hesitate to contact us at cloud@metacentrum.cz.

For instructions, please, refer to official documentation available via
https://cloud2.metacentrum.cz. We are currently offering access via
OpenStack Dashboard (select `EGI Check-In` from the drop-down) and API
access with OpenStack Application Credentials or EGI Check-In access tokens.

Dear site-admins,

we have been notified that the sudden change in the host certificate DN can be fixed, reverted back to the previous one:
DN: /C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=hellasgrid.gr/CN=voms2.hellasgrid.gr
CA_DN : /C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=Certification Authorities/CN=HellasGrid CA 2016

Differently from what we announced yesterday afternoon in the broadcast
https://operations-portal.egi.eu/broadcast/archive/2450 (URGENT: host certificate change on voms server voms2.hellasgrid.gr (hosting the VOs dteam, edison.eu, long-tail.egi.eu, see, vo.complex-systems.eu, vo.emsodev.eu, vo.geoss.eu)),

please do not change the configuration for the VOs dteam, edison.eu, long-tail.egi.eu, see, vo.complex-systems.eu, vo.emsodev.eu, vo.geoss.eu

We really apologise for the noise created and with whom who promptly reacted after the yesterday announcement.

Thanks for your understanding,
Alessandro Paolini
EGI Operations

Dear site managers,

the host certificate of the voms server voms2.hellasgrid.gr (hosting the VOs dteam, edison.eu, long-tail.egi.eu, see, vo.complex-systems.eu, vo.emsodev.eu, vo.geoss.eu) is changed

In particular, it is changed the certificate DN (the OU field), meaning that all the services based on VOMS authentication need to be reconfigured with the new parameters available here:

DN : /C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=athena.hellasgrid.gr/CN=voms2.hellasgrid.gr
CA_DN : /C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=Certification Authorities/CN=HellasGrid CA 2016


For the services with the old configuration in production, it should be enough to change the corresponding .lsc file (there is one for each supported VO), for example in case of dteam:


# cat /etc/grid-security/vomsdir/dteam/voms2.hellasgrid.gr.lsc
/C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=athena.hellasgrid.gr/CN=voms2.hellasgrid.gr
/C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=Certification Authorities/CN=HellasGrid CA 2016


If using yaim, the new configuration should look like this (using dteam as example):

# cat /root/siteinfo/vo.d/dteam

SW_DIR=$VO_SW_DIR/dteam
DEFAULT_SE=$SE_HOST
STORAGE_DIR=$CLASSIC_STORAGE_DIR/dteam
VOMS_SERVERS='vomss://voms2.hellasgrid.gr:8443/voms/dteam?/dteam/'
VOMSES="'dteam voms2.hellasgrid.gr 15004 /C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=athena.hellasgrid.gr/CN=voms2.hellasgrid.gr dteam 24'"
VOMS_CA_DN="'/C=GR/O=HellasGrid/OU=Certification Authorities/CN=HellasGrid CA 2016'"

In general, you can find VO information on the Operations Portal https://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search

Please update your configuration as soon as possible or users might have problems in accessing your services. Feel free to ask for help to EGI Operations through GGUS if needed.

Dear Site Managers running DPM,

Following on from the EGI Broadcast on 22 May regarding the End of SRM protocol support in DPM, please note that end of support for security updates of the DPM legacy mode has been extended to 30 September 2019. However, sites who still have DPM legacy codebase enabled should disable it in favour of DOME before then to avoid running unsupported software.

If you have not already enabled DOME (or upgraded to a DPM version supporting DOME) then we would like to collect information regarding the status of your plans and if applicable, whether there are any barriers preventing this change. To this end, we would be very grateful if you could answer this very short survey before the end of June:
