NEWS!

Announcement of ECPDS migration.


Transition plan

As part of our Data Centre move we have started the installation of ECPDS, the ECMWF Production Data Store, in Bologna, Italy. ECPDS, which is described in a Newsletter article, takes care of both the dissemination and acquisition of data. For the migration of the operational ECPDS we are currently considering two options: 

  1. Incremental move of individual data streams
  2. Switch-over of all data streams together with the switch-over of the operational forecast

We will confirm at a later date which option will be used.

As a first step to prepare for an operational ECPDS in Bologna we are asking recipients of operational data to make changes to their network setup. We will also offer transfer tests to ensure that external hosts will be ready for the switch-over of the operational forecast production from Reading to Bologna, expected for April 2022. Please note that until then the operational forecast will continue to originate from our Reading Data Centre. A separate page regarding the release candidate test phase of the forecast production will be published soon.

Action required by dissemination users/sites

Please update your firewall rules at your earliest convenience, at the latest by 30 Nov 2021, to accept connections from our new IP addresses used in Bologna:

Internet:

  • 136.156.192.0/26
  • 136.156.193.0/26

RMDCN:

  • 136.156.196.0/26
  • 136.156.197.0/26

Please ensure to keep the current firewall rules in place to allow connections from our Reading Data Centre subnets until its decommissioning in the second quarter of 2022.

Between late November 2021 and 31 March 2022 we will offer transfer tests, involving the transfer of files named "ecmwf-tst.bol" and "ecmwf-tst.md5". Therefore, please make sure your system is set up to receive these file name patterns. Two weeks in advance of the planned test we will contact each site with the exact test date and further details.
