RAL Down Time
An account of changes made to the local system to cope with the RAL Down Time in Jun/Jul 2009
The Problem
RAL is moving their Tier 1 Services to a new building, which is the going to cause significant outage of a number of key services. Details of which services may be found
here.
WMS Outage
The WMS at RAL are being drained from
Wednesday 17th June. Jobs are likely to be lost if they haven't completed by
Monday 22nd June. Birmingham supports job submission from local users that are members of the VOs in the table below. On the local system, default wms locations are held in the
glite_wms.conf
and
glite_wmsui.conf
files in the
/home/lcgui/SL4/prod/glite/etc/
directory. On
BlueBEAR, the directory is
/bb/projects/lcgui/prod/glite/etc/
.
In
glite_wms.conf
, the
WMProxyEndpoints
attribute was changed to hold a list of new wms service locations (either Glasgow or Imperial). These typically take the format:
https://svr023.gla.scotgrid.ac.uk:7443/glite_wms_wmproxy_server
In
glite_wmsui.conf
, the
NSAddresses
and
LBAddresses
attributes were changed. These entries took the format:
svr023.gla.scotgrid.ac.uk
Supported VOs were identified by virtue of the presence of a
/glite_wms.conf
file. New suitable WMS were identified using the command
lcg-infosites --vo wms | grep ".uk"
All editted files were initially backed up into their original directory with the suffix
.20090616
.
