• CentOS7 is the
  recommended OS until UMD5+CS9 are released
• In case you have already some machines with C8, migration to CentOS Stream 8 is recommended
• CS9 will be supported by CERN and FNAL
• middleware: recommended path is C7->CS9 (we will skip CS8)

• UMD Infrastructure:
  • testbed and scripts to test the new workflows
  • working on the jenkins + nexus interactions
    • in more detail using the nexus API we can create, upload sign rpm's and deb packages
    • working on the implementation of this into jenkins

ARGO/SAM

• Integration of EOS storage element: GGUS 154335

  • We are testing the monitoring probe for the EOS Storage endpoints (GGUS 156251) which uses the XRootD interface (see https://github.com/EGI-Federation/nagios-plugins-xrootd )

  • On GOCDB the EOS endpoints are registered as XrootD service endpoints.

  • In order to allow the proper execution of the probe, we would like you to:

    • enable the ops VO on your endpoints

    • for each EOS (Xrootd) service endpoint add the following Extension Property:

      • Name: XROOTD_URL

      • Value: XRootD base SURL to test (the path where ops VO has write access, for example: root://eospps.cern.ch:1094/eos/pps/ or similar)

    • Please do the same even if you provide an XRootD interface with a different type of storage element.
