The SAM CE tests include the replication of a file from the site's default SE for "ops" to a central SE, for which a DPM node at CERN is the default choice and thereby almost always used. This node still runs SLC3, which is no longer supported and must be upgraded. Testing on SLC4 with the latest DPM version for gLite 3.1 shows that if the switch were made today,
the sites below would be affected.
Therefore, this is a call to all sites that are failing the CE tests in the SAM Validation instance to upgrade their WNs to the latest version ASAP. We would like to migrate the SAM DPM production instance in ~3 weeks from now (by Monday 10th of August).
So, please, all ROCs, follow this up with your sites - if need be, by opening GGUS tickets.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Thank you to all sites that have clearly updated their WN versions. The list
below is clearly a lot shorter than the 42 that was present.
