(1) Sites that are Certified, in Production and that have been monitored
   by SAM during the last week under OPS credentials.
   SAM is available at: https://lcg-sam.cern.ch:8443/sam/sam.py
   To see this page one needs a grid certificate loaded in the browser.
   The calculation of the Site availability (Status) is described at:
https://cern.ch/twiki/pub/LCG/GridView/Gridview_Service_Availability_Computation.pdf 


(2) Software version is coming from the 'CE-sft-softver' CE test. Sites
   not supporting SAM 'CE' service, or not having sent results for this
   particular test during the last week, are not counted.

EGEE Pre-Production Service Coordination:
============================

2008-08-27: the EMT made the decision to delay the deployment of
the CREAM CE (the certified patch). This is because not-ICE-enabeld WMS
could accidentally match the Cream CE and cause a submission failure.
Waiting for the ICE-WMS to be deployed, as a workaround,Cream will be
released with a GlueServiceStatus? = 'Production', to be
changed again later. One issue is represented by the old version of WMS
on SL3 (unsupported). As they will not be integrated with ICE, once the
Cream CE will be advertised again in realproduction mode, they would 
fail to
submit.
In order to size this issue up we would like to get from the WLCG EGEE
Operation Meeting an estimation of the number of old SL3 WMS still in 
production.

2008-08-25: release of gLite3.1 Update30 to production in preparation.
The update, to be released next Thursday, will affect the vast majority
of services.
It will contain, notably:
   * Cream CE and clients
   * A patch to globus VDT , fixing the issue raised with BUG:37563
     (limit in proxy delegation chain)
   * dCache 1.8.0-15p5
   * GFAL/lcg_util bugfix release

2008-08-20: gLite 3.1 Update 29 was released to production
The updated version of DPM and LFC , corresponding to
PATCH:1987 and PATCH:1988 fixes the following bugs:
   * return space to pool when removing a replica in a space that no
longer exists
   * disfavour filling filesystems to more than 98 percent of capacity
during selection
   * added ctrl-c handling and an option to limit total drain size in
dpm-drain
   * minor bounds checking changes in dpm, ns and Csec
   * return a network time out error to client rather than internal
error in some circumstances
   * apply castor ns fix for BUG:31342, for consistency between lcg-dm
and castor
   * several small fixes (see patch for more details)

Testing Report
==========
Patches certified;

patch #1873: New updates on LCG CE improvement packages
patch #1947: proxy renewal update

Operational Security
=============
The security incident affecting HEP sites (see report from 07 Aug) is still
being investigated by the EGEE OSCT and the relevant academic CSIRTs.

ETICS
=====
 Migration of the ETICS worker nodes to new 8-core hardware is almost
finished. The frequent failures of the blade nodes seem to be due to the
EDAC module. Investigation of the kernel modules being (possibly) at the
source of the issue done together with Kernel/Linux support from FIO.

A new revision version of the ETICS Client (1.3.10-1) has been released
to fix some issues in the generation of the package list build reports.
