perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Greetings:

This is the reminder regarding the scheduled the End of Life (EOL) for
perfSONAR version 3.4.x.  This is currently scheduled one weeks from
now, 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, 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.  The vault can be enabled by making the following changes to
/etc/yum.repos.d/:

> [Internet2-Vault-pSPT-3.4]
> name = Internet2 pSPT 3.4 Vault RPM Repository -
> software.internet2.edu - main
> baseurl = http://software.internet2.edu/vault/3.4/rpms/el6/$BASEARCH/main/
> enabled = 0
> protect = 0
> gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Internet2
> gpgcheck = 1

As of the end of March, 95% 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
