Dear all,
As of 16:00 UTC, the network failure that caused the loss of the databases services at RAL has been resolved, although we are currently running in a non-resilient manner. We will be running at risk over night.
The GOCDB is back in full production (i.e. both writes and reads).
The RAL Tier-1 Disk storage (Echo) and Tape storage (Antares) are back in production. The batch farm will be brought back online tomorrow morning. Further downtimes will be noted in the GOCDB (rather than more announcements).
Thank you for your patience
Alastair
RAL Tier-1 Manager

Dear all,
The site downtime at RAL caused by the core network failure is still ongoing. We are working on recovering the databases currently.
As mentioned in the previous update, the GOCDB is working (at risk) in read-only mode: https://goc.egi.eu/
Echo (Disk storage) is functioning but in a degraded state.
Antares (Tape storage) is currently down however we can bring the service back quickly once the network has stabilized.
We are expecting the batch farm to remain down until tomorrow morning.
We will provide an update by 14:00 UTC and hope to be in a position to announce the return of some production services before the end of the day.
Thanks,
Alastair
RAL Tier-1 Manager

Dear All
At shortly after 15:00 local time (14:00 UTC) today (17/10/22) there was a major failure of the RAL core network. All services are currently down including the GOCDB which would normally be used to declare outages.
After 6 hours of work we have only been able to partially restore network connectivity and we are thus declaring a whole site outage until at least midday (11:00 UTC) tomorrow (18/10/22).

Due to network issues at RAL, GOCDB remains unavailable. Staff are on site investigating.
We will provide a further update once more information is available, but that may not be until tomorrow. Connectivity to GOCDB may be restored in the meantime.

Dear users of EGI Notebooks,
Next Wednesday 7th of September 2022 at 9:00 CEST, EGI Notebooks will upgrade its configuration to use the new Check-in OpenID Connect Provider.
During the change, the service won't be available, although running servers should keep running. Once the upgrade is finalised, you will be able to access the service as usual.
If you are relying on the access tokens automatically generated from the Notebooks (see https://docs.egi.eu/users/dev-env/notebooks/integration/#egi-services-acces… for more information), these will no longer be accepted in those services that have not migrated their configuration to the new Check-in OpenID Connect Provider. Let us know if you encounter any issues with any service.
Regards
EGI Notebooks support team

Dear colleagues,
thanks to a great response from the Grid Community Forum experts,
backward-compatible version 6.2.9-8 has already appeared in EPEL 7
and should appear in EPEL 8 within a day.
FYI, version 6.2.9-9 is expected to bring a further desired change,
viz. support for OpenSSL v3 on EL9, in a backward-compatible way
and has already been tested on EL7 and 8.

Dear colleagues,
please beware of the backward incompatibility of myproxy-6.2.9-7
that recently got published in EPEL, e.g. for EPEL 7:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/m/
It only works if both the client and the server are on that release!
As an upgrade of myproxy.cern.ch caused serious problems for ALICE,
that service has been downgraded to its previous version 6.2.9-1,
which also happens to be the latest in the EGI UMD-4 repository:
http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/umd/4/centos7/x86_64/updates/
Grid Community Forum experts are looking into the best strategy for
introducing the desired improvements, hopefully in a way that would
keep backward compatibility with existing deployments.

Dear all
I’m honoured to invite Dr Fernado Aguliar from IFCA-CSIC in the EGI webinar program, to give a talk on FAIR EVA, a software developed by EOSC-Synergy, one of the impacted H2020 projects dedicated for EOSC development. EGI participated the project as one of the partners.
Register Now! so you won't miss the opportunity to directly ask questions to the speaker and discuss collaborations!
Title: FAIR EVA (Evaluator, Validator & Advisor)
Date and Time: Wednesday, 6th Apr 2022 |14:00 -15:00 PM CEST
Agenda: https://indico.egi.eu/event/5876/
Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qeg9D3uMQ9qGvudJhsCtew
Description:
FAIR EVA (Evaluator, Validator and Advisor) has been developed to check the FAIRness level of digital objects from different repositories or data portals. It requires the object identifier and the repository to check and it can be adapted to different contexts and environments. Developed within the EOSC-Synergy project it aims at helping data producers and data managers to evaluate the adoption of the FAIR principles based on the RDA indicators. This webinar will present the tool as well as show how it can be deployed, how the different tests works and how it can be adapted to different data systems.
Speaker:
Dr Fernando Aguilar is an Informatics Engineer, since 2011 participating in different national and international projects related to computing and data management. As a developer, he has implemented diverse visualization and data analysis and management tools within the context of water quality research in different water reservoirs in Spain. Furthermore, he has deployed different programs to warrant data quality. He has also participated in TRUFA (trufa.ifca.es) development, workflow of RNA analysis. As Database administrator, he has managed different researching databases integrated with instrumentation, including them in the data life cycle: gathering, curation, sharing, preservation, etc. He has been also involved in system administration tasks including the deployment and management of internal services or grid middleware. Within Cloud Computing context, he has participated in projects of implementing and deploying virtual machines and user oriented services, specially in many use cases in the Lifewatch Research Infrastructure, where he played different roles and performed actions including requirement gathering, final user and infrastructure linking, deployment of infrastructure and services supervising, etc. He has also participated in Research Infrastructures integration projects, like COOPEUS (in collaboration with American institutions), where he has worked in data integration and sharing using Semantic Web, metadata management and persistent identifiers (PIDs). In collaboration with Ecohydros S.L (SME), within ROEM+ (Life+) project, he has coordinated the deployment and computing of hydrodynamic and water quality models and he has managed and configured the data feeding the models. Currently he is doing his PhD thesis in Data Life cycle management in a Cloud Computing framework and he is involved in different Interest and Working Groups in the Research Data Alliance in that topic, including metadata use and management.
