perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Greetings:

This is the reminder regarding the scheduled the End of Life (EOL) for perfSONAR version 3.4.x.  This is currently scheduled to be Friday April 8th, 2016.  All architectures and products related to pS Performance Toolkit v3.4.x (i386, x86_64) are impacted, and the software will be removed from the active mirrors on that date. 

A frozen version will be migrated to a vault (instructions will be provided for use of this construct at a later date) where v3.4 of this software will remain available indefinitely.  You may use the vault in the same way you have used the mirrors in the past, however no updates will be released for any of the software in this location moving forward.

As of December, 81% of perfSONAR instances are converted to 3.5.x, the remaining percentage is a mixture of 3.4.x instances and older unsupported products.  The perfSONAR project strongly recommends that you migrate any old installations to the latest version before the EOL date to reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities. 

Thanks;

The perfSONAR Development Team
