 ====== Scheduled Maintenance ====== ====== Scheduled Maintenance ======
- 
-===== Upgrade of machines 2014 ===== 
- 
-Machines to upgrade: **56** 
- 
-**Reasons:​** Main reason is to avoid security holes and update libraries. 
-Since updating libraries might cause issues when using existing code, a set of machines with a specific version of the OS can be maintained to prevent and cross check compilation issues. Further information in [[#​Situation]] and [[#​Selection criterias]] 
- 
-==== Tentative Schedule ==== 
- 
-NOTE: The expected update time for each machine is between 2 and 3 hours. 
-^  Key Definitions ​ ^^ 
-^Workstation|A desktop machine which people uses by sitting in front of. Usually located in offices.| 
-^Remote Workstation|A machine which people uses only through ssh access. Usually located in a server room.| 
-^Server|A machine that is used by the infrastructure,​ usually only accessed directly by an Admin. Usually located in a server room.|

- 
-==== Selection criterias ==== 
- 
-  - Target upgrade is to OpenSuSE 13.1 for two reasons: 
-    - It seems to have the most up-to-date libraries that suit most needs 
-    - Evergreen support has been announced until November 2016, see https://​en.opensuse.org/​openSUSE:​Evergreen 
-  - Machines with **OpenSuse 11.2** must be updated **first**. Support stopped 2013, see https://​en.opensuse.org/​openSUSE:​Evergreen 
-    - Some OpenSuse 11.2 machines will be left to avoid compilation issues, so that users can still have the same environment 
-    - Machines will be selected in a way that there is at least an old machine with the same memory/​processor for each updated one. 
-  - Machines with **OpenSuse 11.4** will be updated **next**. Support stopped July 2014 (https://​en.opensuse.org/​openSUSE:​Evergreen) 
-    - See selection criterias above. 
-  - **Servers will be updated last**, from the least to the most important. ​ 
-    - The most important ones will be updated after the other machines. A special schedule will follow as it will affect everybody. 
- 
- 
-==== Situation ==== 
- 
-OpenSuSE dropped or will drop support for most of the OS versions we have. As a result the machines are 
-at security risk and most of the libraries will stay obsoleted and without bugfixes. Sources: 
-  * https://​en.opensuse.org/​Lifetime 
-  * https://​en.opensuse.org/​Evergreen 
- 
-Planned Upgrade is to OpenSuSE 13.1 -- although 13.2 will be released in November. -- the reason 
-is that they seem to have the most updated libraries, even newer that Ubuntu. Support will continue until November 2016. 
- 
-  * High Priority: **30** 
-    * Reason: OpenSuSE 11.2 not maintained anymore 
-    * Of which: 
-      * Servers: 4 
-      * Workstations:​ 22 
-      * Remote Workstations:​ 4 
- 
-  * Medium Priority: **22** 
-    * Reason: OpenSuSE 11.4 not maintained anymore 
-    * Of which: 
-      * Servers: 2 
-      * Workstations:​ 19 
-      * Remote Workstations:​ 1 
- 
-  * Low priority: **4** 
-    * Reason: OpenSuSE 12.3 still supported until Sept. 15th 2014 (this year). No plan to extend so far. See https://​en.opensuse.org/​Lifetime 
-    * Of which: 
-      * Servers: 1 
-      * Workstations:​ 3 
-      * Remote Workstations:​ 0
