IPv6 readiness plans

VOMS upgrade campaign to EL9

  • VOMS released on EL9:
  • The sites can now upgrade their VOMS endpoints to EL9
  • Optionally you could keep the current server to work as the database (not exposed to the outside), while you expose externally the new server with voms and voms-admin
    • This should shorten the downtime when doing the switch  

Currently there are 28 VOMS endpoints in production. We are also starting to decommission about 100 inactive VOs, so the number of VOMS endpoints could also decrease.

Tickets to be tracked here: 2024 VOMS upgrade campaign

StoRM upgrade campaign to EL9

  • INFN is working to release StoRM on EL9
    • StoRM WebDAV v1.4.2 (the latest released on CentOS 7) is available also for el9 in their stable repository
    • The other components will be soon ready
  • 31 StoRM endpoints published in the BDII
  • We can track the migration in 2024 StoRM upgrade campaign

Recent activities:

  • APEL client 2.1.0 released and included in UMD 5
  • Testing ongoing, with data sent from some sites to the accounting repository and published into the staging accounting portal
  • plans to finalise the HepScore deployment by the end of November
