Actions:

• Check with CMS regarding the upgrade path/necessity for PhEDEx and myProxy services at sites.

• David Crooks to find out about Argus SL6 -> 7 migration path. Glasgow and Oxford have done it.  

• Lancaster to discuss with ATLAS about doing upgrade in place.

• Oxford to discuss with ATLAS about going diskless with aim that ATLAS no longer need storage by July 2020.  Oxford also needs to identify other GridPP/IRIS supported users that will need to migrate their data to other sites.

• Tier-1, ECDF, Oxford on ARC5 CEs which lose security updates from end of June 2020. (see for example http://www.nordugrid.org/arc/releases/6.5/release_notes_6.5.html)

• Possibly arrange future technical meetings dedicated to ARC CEs and ARGUS upgrade

• Alastair to contact sites that haven’t updated Google Doc to get their input.
