Agenda www.egi.eu @EGI_eInfra 2 13/04/2025
Deployment of new benchmark HEPscore23 The benchmark HEPscore23 is replacing HEPSPEC06 New version of APEL client compliant with HEPScore23 to be released in UMD Testing on the central repository the aggregation of the accounting records and by benchmarks To monitor the move of resources to the new benchmark over the time The Accounting Portal will implement the change afterwards Investigating an issues preventing the staging Accounting Portal instance to retrieve the accountin records via the Message Service Created Instructions for the sites for updating the apel client and use the new benchmark 3 www.egi.eu @EGI_eInfra 3 13/04/2025
Transition from X509 to federated identities Focussing on the computing elements The Check token profile to work The HTCondor migration from X509 personal certificates to tokens. Created an intermediate step where the plain SSL authentication (X509) can be used to authenticate a client' proxy, in addition to the VOMS-based or to the token-based one Agreed with WLCG to start with the upgrade/migration campaign when the LHC Heavy-Ion has finished (by the end of October Waiting also for the new HTCondorCE version (9.0.19) included in UMD ARC-CE can still work with both VOMS and token authz Check- -in team released a plugin in team released a plugin for the CEs allowing the Check-in/AARC HTCondor team set team set- -up an upgrade procedure up an upgrade procedure to help sites and VOs with the 4 www.egi.eu @EGI_eInfra 4 13/04/2025
DPM decommissioning campaign DPM support ended in June 2023 CERN takes care of security fix until June 2024 57 sites involved Most of the sites migrated to dCache, EOS, xrootd. The rest will complete it either by the end 2023 or beginning of 2024 Started in Sept 2022 5 www.egi.eu @EGI_eInfra 5 13/04/2025
Next Linux distribution to use All EL9 variants are deemed compatible Alma 9 (AL9) aims to remain ABI Rocky 9 (RL9) continues being exact CentOS 9 is discouraged CERN and possibly FNAL will look into Debian as a future Some discussions at the Hepix workshop last week See also September GDB agenda: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1225116/ compatible with each other ABI compatible with RHEL9 exact rebuilds for now discouraged because of questionable support future alternative. 6 www.egi.eu @EGI_eInfra 6 13/04/2025
