Grid Appliance Update

[David Wolinsky]

I am pushing a Grid Appliance / IPOP update tonight. This means that
your existing pools will require some minor changes to continue
working properly.

The new IPOP code is incompatible with previous IPOP versions and as
such, you will need to return to www.grid-appliance.org and generate a
new floppy image.

If you are a member of Archer or Public pool, simply download a new
floppy, stop your VM, install the new floppy, and start.

If you own a group, you will need to change your GroupVPN P2P Pool to
be real_ufl_test0. Then you can download a floppy. You will need to
inform all members of your pool of the change.

If you would like to avoid this upgrade. Then you will need to hold
your IPOP versions steady at 9.5.20.

Regards,
David

I'll have rolling updates on my progress, since this was a little more
intense than I thought it would be.

What I am doing:

I am upgrading Ubuntu, IPOP, and Grid Appliance on the following systems:
Archer @ UF
Archer @ NEU
Archer @ UT Austin
Public Pool @ UF

I have done the following:
Updated Grid Appliance images @ grid-appliance.org
Latest IPOP and Grid Appliance files are available via apt
WebUI (Grid Appliance.org) Archer has been transitioned

It may take a few days for everything to shake out. If I have not
listed something, please notify me. I will be in contact with
individuals from UMN, NWU, and FSU to upgrade their clusters.

Regards,
David

Finished:

Archer @ UF
Archer @ NEU
Archer @ UT Austin

I upgraded Grid Appliance to 2.05.01 since Ubuntu made some FS changes
that cause Condor jobs not to work
Archer @ FSU is practically completed

We'll be working on FutureGrid shortly...
