CMS wants to upgrade WMAgent to bring in a new version of CouchDB. I've just submitted a new workflow which should start draining around midnight Sunday (European). Please be ready to set NoNewTasks late Sunday to avoid any problems. Hopefully we'll be up again by Monday night.

CERN IT also wants to recreate the VM that we run the agent on, to move it to a new Hypervisor. So the downtime may be a bit longer than I anticipated, but hopefully just a few hours.

If the WMAgent server gets a new name and/or a new IP the network tests called by bootstrap-cms need to be revised.
When the old name can't be contacted any more all CMS tasks will fail.

Noted. I've no idea if that will happen, but thanks for the heads-up.

Master.log shows many of this lines:
07/02/22 17:31:16 (pid:16879) CONFIGURATION PROBLEM: Failed to insert ClassAd attribute STARTD_PARTITIONABLE_SLOT_ATTRS = MemoryUsage,ProportionalSetSizeKb. The most common reason for this is that you forgot to quote a string value in the list of attributes being added to the MASTER ad.

No, not the hypervisor, the VM image file (.vdi).
