There are 52 Open UK tickets this week. It's business as usual this week, but with so many tickets the risk of me missing something is greater then usual so let me know if I've skimmed over an important issue for your site or of interest to the UK.
Why so many tickets? We've been hit by several groups of tickets at once: 13 gLExec tickets, 10 Decommissioning NGS sites, 7 SHA-2, 5 Unresponsive VOs (the makings of a terrible Christmas Carol). That leaves only 17 tickets outside these categories.
SHA-2 tickets</br>
7 tickets left for these, affecting Glasgow, Manchester, ECDF, Durham, Lancaster, Imperial and the Tier 1. Depending on the time frame of when you plan to look at this those who haven't see to On hold might want to (Glasgow, IC, Tier 1) if they aren't going to be tackling this soon. Kashif has extended the tickets.
VOMS</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95792 (16/7)</br>
The HyperK VO has been rolled out and just needs testing now. In Progress (29/7) Update- Tests passed, ticket closed. Tickets have gone out asking WMS sites to support the new VO.
Unresponsive VOs (5/7)</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95442 -Master ticket.</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95474 - camont. Waiting for repy, can be closed (22/7)</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95473 - gridpp. Jeremy waiting on new e-mail lists. In progress (29/7)</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95472 - minos. The VO is probably dead, Jeremy is checking. Assigned (26/7)</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95469 - supernemo. Probably also dead, Jeremy is checking here too. In progress (22/7)</br>
GLEXEC (1/7)</br>
Birmingham, Cambridge, Bristol, Sussex, ECDF, Durham, Sheffield, Manchester, Lancaster, UCL, RHUL, Queen Mary and EFDA-JET all have open gLexec tickets. Durham and IC are In Progress - ironing out a few bugs (although both tickets could do with a soothing update to keep us in the loop-particularly the Durham one). The rest are on hold, but Sussex also appear to be close to a solution. Others are quoting late summer before tackling gLExec deployment.
NGS Decommissioning.</br>
Not much to see here, 10 sites are on the "chopping block" but no progress is expected until late August so they're all on hold.
TIER-1</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96079 (23/7)</br>
Atlas seeing slow deletion rates, caused by occasional time outs for some deletions. Shaun is investigating, and can't see anything in the SRM layer causing this. Waiting for atlas to get back with some examples from their logs to cross-reference. Waiting for reply (24/7)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=91658 (20/2)</br>
Webdav for the RAL LFC. Catalin has asked for some advice on setting up the Webdav interface. Is anyone able to help him? Waiting for reply (17/7) Update - Catalin has rolled out the Webdav interface, Chris W will now crusade to get more sites Webdaved. Catalin points out that RAL's Castor doesn't support webdav.
OXFORD</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96090 (23/7)</br>
This issue was brought up in the Storage meeting, but worth mentioning here. Ewan had a problem where his one server with space on it ended up being given a weighting of zero by DPM gremlins. After fixing this things are better, but the one empty disk server is under a lot of stress. As our sites fill up issues like this could become more common. In progress (26/7)
(Also see https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96071, which is the same issue for Sno+. It looks like the issue has been solved for them though).
DURHAM</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96024 (22/7)</br>
It looks like Durham have a black-hole node, sucking jobs into oblivion: the culprit appears to be n36.dur.scotgrid.ac.uk from the atlas monitoring. It could be a red herring, but things are quiet on the ticket fro the site end. In progress (29/7) Update-Mike offlined the bad node, but now all their nodes are failing jobs! It never rains but it pours...
SUSSEX</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95165 (28/6)</br>
Duncan poked Sussex to check their perfsonar installation. Not much word on this ticket for a while since Duncan updated with some information. In progress (1/7)
100IT</br>
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=94780 (11/6)</br>
The Cloud Site ticket. JK wants to hammer out a few things with NGI members before finalising this as it is the first Industrial Partner, but he's on leave (hopefully somewhere without this weekend's rain!), so it might be a while before this is finalised.
Nothing exciting in the solved case pile, but my eyes are about to fall out of my head after sifting through the active tickets so I may well have missed something.
