Solved: Update: Disturbance of the Wiki Service xwiki.desy.de
The problem has been solved.

-----------------

The wiki service (https://xwiki.desy.de) has been available again since this afternoon.

However, since the migration failed, a new migration must be started over the weekend. Additional measures have been taken to ensure a successful completion of the migration. However, performance losses and brief service interruptions cannot be ruled out during this time.

---------

Since today morning, Donnerstag, 12.9.2024 the central Wiki service XWiki (https://xwiki.desy.de) isn't available due to a service interruption.

The cause is an increased load on the system in connection with the migration of the largest wiki space. It is currently not possible to intervene in the migration without threatening its successful completion. We must therefore ask for your patience.

Solved: DMZ - DHCP problems during installation and restart of computers
The problem has been solved.

-----------------

Since Monday, 22.7.24 there have been problems with the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) in the DMZ (demilitarized zone).

The following networks/vlans are affected:

Netze Vlans
131.169.4.0/24 4
131.169.5.0/24 5
131.169.6.0/24 6
131.169.7.0/24 7
131.169.10.0/24 10
131.169.10.67/27 303
131.169.10.195/27 315
131.169.10.35/28 411

The firewall is probably not forwarding any DHCP broadcasts.
DHCP renews (renewals/extensions) should not be affected.

For this reason, no new installations can be carried out in the DMZ networks at the moment. Restarting computers in the DMZ can also lead to problems if the computers do not have a static IP address configured.

We are working on a solution to this problem.

-----------------

On Thursday, June 13, 2024, there was a major crash of parts of the dCache system at approx. 18:00 with effects until approx. 9:00 today.
All dCache storage instances were affected.

This means that the storage paths under
/pnfs/desy.de
were not accessible and problems could still occur very occasionally.

No data was lost, as the problem was not related to the storage itself, but to an auxiliary service required for operation.

The service is now back online and access to the data should be possible again.

The problem has been solved.

--------------

Since Wednesday, 15.5.2024 approx. 12:30, access to building 52 (HERA Halle Ost) is not possible.

The reason for this is a fiber optic cable that was cut during green pruning work. As a result, the network technology in Building 52a, which is necessary for the access technology in Building 52, was interrupted.

A repair has been requested. It can currently be assumed that access will be possible again by 22.05.2024 at the latest.

Finished: Upgrade of the APEX Infrastructure to APEX Version 24.1
The maintenance has been finished.

-----------------

On Mittwoch, 16.10.2024 from 09:00h to presumably 12:00h a maintenance of the APEX environment (Application Express) will take place to provide APEX version 24.1. APEX is a service which allows the development and provision of database-driven web applications.

During the infrastructure update, all APEX applications will not be available.
A list of the affected applications is available on the following web site:

https://it.desy.de/dienste/uco/aktuelles/liste_apex_anwendungen_auf_desy_db

As this is an infrastructure update, the subsequent necessary migration of the affected APEX applications as well as the information of their users is the responsibility of the APEX developers. More detailed information has been sent to the application developers by e-mail in beforehand. A separate e-mail was also sent to the IAM users.

Maintenance caused by: Infrastructure update of the central Oracle APEX environments

Finished: Maintenance work on Oracle infrastructures - additional Information
The maintenance has been finished.

-----------------

Dear colleagues,
On Tuesday, 15.10.2024, maintenance work will be carried out on the Oracle infrastructures.
There are several clusters under maintenance, so it is difficult to give an exact schedule, but the work on the IT-RAC should be completed by late noon.
We will inform the users of the IT-RAC separately about the completion of the work.

In general, the DB services are available and should be accessible.
However, there will always be session interruptions as the database services have to be swivelled.

This means that for most applications that work request-orientated, such as
web servers etc., or where session pools are used, such as Apex applications, there will be hardly any impairment.

There is a residual risk of transactions being cancelled, so attention should be paid to ensuring that data has actually been saved or, even better, that access is read-only.

Affected by the maintenance work are ALL
databases/database services/database clusters.

ALL database services and thus also the applications running on them are affected!
For example:
. BPM (GO)
. DESY (EASY, dosimetry, DOOR, vehicle pool, KDS, FORMS, contract management, Zeuha and many more. - f. APEX applications see:
https://it.desy.de/dienste/uco/aktuelles/liste_apex_anwendungen_auf_desy_db/index_ger.html)
. GIS
. IAM (IAM, annual meetings, risk management)
. Registry
. DMS (document management system)
. TeamCenter

The maintenance work was communicated in September and October CUC.
We will inform you as soon as the work has been completed.
If you have any questions, please contact Oracle Service directly by e-mail (oracle.service@desy.de).

Best regards,
DESY Oracle Service

PS: The maintenance can be viewed at https://it-news.desy.de/.

-----------------

On Dienstag, 20.8.2024 from 08:00h until 10:00h a maintenance of the central load balancing system (F5) will take place. The load balancing system spreads requests, which are sent to the connected IT services, to several devices working in parallel in order to be able to handle large quantities of requests efficiently.

We are not expecting any malfunctions of the central IT services which are connected to the load balancing system. However, existing connections will be re-established briefly during maintenance.

Some central IT services connected to the load balancing system are listed below. Should a problem occur during maintenance, among others the following services will be affected:

- Mail Service (https://mail.desy.de)
- DESY Web Sites (E.g. https://www.desy.de, https://xfel.eu)
- Indico (https://indico.desy.de)
- DOOR (https://door.desy.de)

Release of the monthly Windows Updates
On Friday, 16.8.2024, the monthly Windows Updates will be released. Please install them on your DESY Windows devices as soon as possible to ensure that they are up-to-date and secure.

To do this, connect your Windows device to the internal DESY network after the updates have been released. Use VPN if you are extern. When prompted or at the end of the day, restart or shut down your Windows device.

On Wednesday, 21.08.2024 from 17 - 20h it is not possible to guarantee trouble-free operation in the Windows environment. This is due to regular maintenance work on the central Windows servers.

It is recommended to log off or shut down DESY Windows devices on Wednesday before the maintenance starts. You should also log off from public Windows systems (terminal servers) beforehand.

Maintenance caused by: The monthly maintenance work on the appropriate central computers. This requires only in the most unfavourable case the entire period of 3 resp. 2 hours

Availability of Ubuntu 24.04
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is now available for installation on server and desktop systems.

The general release notes for Ubuntu 24.04 can be found under: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-release-notes/39890
Important information on changes that could affect admins in particular are documented here: https://confluence.desy.de/display/linux/Ubuntu+24.04+changes

Ubuntu 24.04 for server installations is in production status and the version of Ubuntu to choose.

Furthermore, Ubuntu 24.04 is also available as a green desktop.

There are some notes on this:
1. Ubuntu 24.04 is the recommended installation version.
Due to the few installations of Ubuntu 24.04 on desktops currently, the present status is "early production".
On request, we will install 22.04 systems until 01.01.2025. After this date, new 22.04 installations on desktops are subject to individual decisions.

2. Existing 22.04 green desktops receive support and updates until April 2027.
Existing 20.04 green desktops receive support and updates until April 2025.
(Support for new hardware or software might be limited though, in case of problems a migration might be recommended)

3. When you want to upgrade a green desktop from 22.04 or 20.04, a new installation is required.
Since Ubuntu 20.04 it is possible to keep the home partition, but this feature is only used occasionally.
Unexpected states on some systems could create issues, so please backup your data as a precaution.
Please note in the request if you want to use this function with the new installation.

More information about the green desktop can be found at: https://confluence.desy.de/display/linux/Green+Desktop+FAQ

The end of life for Ubuntu 20.04 will be in April 2025.
Please plan to migrate from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 or another supported distribution during the lifetime of Ubuntu 20.04.

If you have any questions, please contact unix@desy.de.
