Migration Challenges and Timeline Updates for University of Wisconsin Software Projects
On March 10, 2010, significant issues arose during the migration process led by Simona for the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The validation phase encountered a snag with missing processing jobs and malfunctioning tools, while the attempt to build the ProductionExe faced hurdles. Fermi has committed to producing a special root distribution, though with caution it may not work as expected. Upcoming milestones include announcing the validation of releases and planning for a rolling upgrade of farms to SL5 by May 1, 2010. User validation commences on March 15, 2010.

6.1.6.migrate Simona began 100K validation and hit a snag I am running the missing processing jobs in her absence Apparently the histogram comparison tool quit working: experts notified The stnana tool failed on me yesterday, may be pilot error 10-Mar-2010
6.1.4mc.migrate Attempt to build ProductionExe on SL5 failed Using pre-built ProductionExe worked Stntuple doesn’t want to build against 6.1.4mc.migrate See Costas’ report 10-Mar-2010
Various Issues • New root • Fermi agreed to produce a special root distribution for us, but then warned that it probably wouldn’t work. 10-Mar-2010
Current Timeline Announce 6.1.6.migrate (beta) http://www.hep.wisc.edu/~jnb/cdfsoft/current/Timeline.xls Announce replacement with 6.1.6.m 10-Mar-2010
Proposed Target Dates 15-Mar-2010: Announce validation of ported releases 6.1.6.m and 6.1.4mc.m General user validation begins using lnx3 and KISTI 15-Apr-2010: Begin rolling upgrade of farms to SL5 Urge desktop migrations 1-May-2010: Logins to central SL3 disabled upgrade lnx1/2 to SL5 (no more central SL4) Get disruptions out of the way before summer conferences
