Procedure for SE decommissioning

Email template for user notification

(red items must to be customized)

Dear biomed user,

You have XXX files on SE YYY which will be decommissioned by X.

We have to move these files away or remove all the corresponding entries from the LFC (using lcg-ra <guid> <lfn>) in case you no longer need the data. Please don't hesitate to contact us (biomed-technical-support [AT] googlegroups [DOT] com) in case you have any questions or if you experience difficulties in this process.

The list of the corresponding files is attached/available HERE

Also, note that it is not recommended to try to move many files in parallel: due to scalability issues of the SE, only a limited number of concurrent connections can be initiated.

Thanks in advance,
The biomed technical team on shift.

SE_hostname decommissioning - forbid write access for biomed users

Body

Dear site admin,

The storage element SE_hostname is going to be decommissioned. As it supports VO biomed, we will contact biomed users to let them migrate their files. Meanwhile, can you please forbid lcg-cr writes from now on to make sure no new file will be created.

Thank you for your support,
The biomed support team on duty.
