| − | Raul pointed me to a CMS ticket, [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134763 134763], that might be of interest to sites running condor and moving to IPv6. The problem was worked around rather then solved (disabling IPv6 in the CMS condor instances).

| − | Another ticket that caught my eye were the RALPP ticket [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134899 134899], which is still just assigned but I believe the issue is already solved.

This makes use of the multipart vacuum pipes in Vac 3.0, which allow the definitions of multiple VMs to be obtained from a single JSON file: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Vac_configuration_for_GridPP_DIRAC (The same mechanism will work in Vcycle 1.0)
