'''Tuesday 24th November'''<br />
A reminder that there is a weekly [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/RAL_Tier1_Experiments_Liaison_Meeting Tier-1 experiment liaison meeting]. Notes from the last meeting [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2015-11-18 here]<br />
* We are investigating why LHCB batch jobs sometimes fail to write results back to Castor (and the sometimes fail to write remotely as well).<br />
* We are continuing with some detailed network changes needed to remove our old core switch from the network. On Wednesday morning (18th) the link to the Atlas building (R26) was successfully moved. (There was a site 'warning' in the GOC DB for this.)<br />
* A week or so ago we saw some Atlas Hammercloud tests failing (loss of heartbeat) - although the problem seems to have gone away now. This is not understood yet.<br />
* We have found a problem on some disk servers of one particular batch that have been updated to SL6. The servers can run slowly and individual commands hang (until a timeout) while making name look-ups. So far a total of three servers have been affected spread over a couple of weeks. We can easily fix the problem but do not yet know why it occurs.<br />
* The tenders for the next round of Disk and CPU purchases are now out.<br />
* All of the Tier1's Castor tape servers are now running Castor version 2.1.15. (The rest of Castor is still at 2.1.14 - with the aim of upgrading early-ish in 2016).<br />
* We have seen some saturation of the 'bypass' link that transfers data to non-Tier1 sites a week ago. This is currently a 10Gbit link which was very busy for about a three-day period. The amount of traffic using the OPN link has also been rising.<br />

'''Monday 23rd November'''<br />
* Still seeing the alarms for systems at QMUL and RHUL that are not in production.<br />
* Closed some tickets for the rolling availabilities. Confused by the rolling availability plots. It seems the "rolling average" period was cut back to 20 days. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 3rd November'''<br />
* The long-standing UCL availability alarm went green yesterday on 29th October. We are not sure why!<br />
* Quite a lot of activity on the dashboard this week, but only one or two new tickets. <br />
* Tickets: Five for availability / reliability: Sussex, Sheffield, Liverpool, Lancaster and UCL. Two for GLUE2 validation: Liverpool and QMUL. One for the CEs at QMU<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 20th October'''<br />
<br />
Lots of bits here and there, but no big pattern. Tickets about CE and storage problems open at several sites. QMUL notable as going on for a while, probably with some kind of configuration problem they're not identifying.<br />

* MW Readiness WG meeting Wed May 6th at 4pm. Attended by Raul, Matt, Sam and Jeremy.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th March'''<br />
* Daniela has updated the [ https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Staged_rollout_emi3 EMI-3 testing table]. Please check it is correct for your site. We want a clear view of where we are contributing.<br />
* There is a middleware readiness meeting this Wednesday. Would be good if a few site representatives joined.<br />
* Machine job features solution testing. Fed back that we will only commence tests if more documentation made available. This stops the HTC solution until after CHEP. Is there interest in testing other batch systems? Raul mentioned SLURM. There is also SGE and Torque.<br />

There were just 18 Open UK Tickets - now we're up to 37...<br />
<br />
'''ATLASPRODDISK Deletion''' (20/11)<br /><br />

<br />
Brian (as an agent of atlas) has asked sites to delete the data from proddisk and remove the tokens. Chris has sorted it already for RALPP and the ticket has mutated to a generic atlas cleanout. No news on the other two.<br />
<br />
'''PILOT LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL'''<br /><br />
In another round of Pilot wrangling by Daniela sites have been asked to implement pilots for the Pheno VO (or where they are enabled find out why they're not working!):<br />

The Tier 1 is at the "debugging" stage, no news from Sheffield though.<br />
<br />
'''HOT OFF THE TICKET PRESS'''<br /><br />
Atlas have ticketed everyone and their grandmother asking to implement the automated storage consistency check stuff. Which I think is a little unfair as I'm unconvinced of the maturity of the tools after spending a day with them last week.<br />
<br />
I've updated Lancaster's ticket to see if we've set this up right during our mucking about last week: [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117883 117883]<br /><br />
''Update''- Atlas have replied to say things are looking good at Lancaster so we just need a few more tweaks (such as using Alessandra's updated and polished version of the [https://gitlab.cern.ch/atlas-adc-ddm-support/dark_data/blob/master/dpm_dump.py dpm_dump.py] script and creating dumps that are only a day old and we're done.<br />
<br />
'''EVEN HOTTER OFF THE PRESS'''<br /><br />
Brunel have been asked by CMS to upgrade their DPM to 1.8.10 in [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117922 117922] - however Raul reports that things aren't working all that well, suggesting CMS need to have a natter with the DPM devs.<br />

''' Tuesday 6 Oct 2015'''<br />
<br />
Moved Gridppnagios instance back to Oxford from Lancaster. It was kind of double whammy as both sites went down together. Fortunately Oxford site was partially working so we managed to start SAM Nagios at Oxford. Sam tests were unavailable for few hours but no affect on egi availibilty/reliability. Sites can have a look at https://mon.egi.eu/myegi/ss/ for a/r status. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 29 Sep 2015'''<br />
<br />
Following an air-conditioning problem at machine room in Oxford Tier-2 site on 26 September, gridppnagios(OX) was shut down and gridppnagios(Lancs) became active instance. Oxford site is in downtime until 1st Oct and it may be extended depending on the situation. <br />
VO-Nagios was also unavailable for two days but we have started it yesterday as it is running on a VM. VO-nagios is using oxford SE for replication test so it is failing those tests. I am looking to change to some other SE. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 09 June 2015'''<br />
*ARC CEs were failing nagios test becuase of non-availability of egi repository. Nagios test compare CA version from EGI repo. It started on 5th June and one of the IP addresses behind webserver was not responding. Problem went away in approximately 3 hours. The same problem started again on 6th June. Finally it was fixed on 8th June. No reason was given in any of the ticket opened regarding this outage. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th February'''<br />
* Another period where message brokers were temporarily unavailable seen yesterday. Any news on the last follow-up?<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 27th January'''<br />
* Unscheduled outage of the EGI message broker (GRNET) caused a short-lived disruption to GridPP site monitoring (jobs failed) last Thursday 22nd January. Suspect BDII caching meant no immediate failover to stomp://mq.cro-ngi.hr:6163/ from stomp://mq.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr:6163/<br />

|}<br />
* The LHCb problem with a low but persistent rate of failure when copying the results of batch jobs to Castor. There is also a further problem that sometimes occurs when these (failed) writes are attempted to storage at other sites.<br />
* The intermittent, low-level, load-related packet loss seen over external connections is still being tracked. Likewise we have been working to understand some remaining low level of packet loss seen within a part of our Tier1 network.<br />
* Long-standing CMS issues. The two items that remain are CMS Xroot (AAA) redirection and file open times. Work is ongoing into the Xroot redirection with a new server having been added in recent weeks. File open times using Xroot remain slow but this is a less significant problem.<br />

* gdss707 (AtlasDataDisk - D1T0) has been out of production since Friday (16th Oct). The server was drained and is currently undergoing testing with fabric.<br />
* gdss664 (AtlasTape - D0T1) was removed from service on the 28th Oct. The system was having some problems running some network commands. These were resolved by a reboot. A failing disk was also replaced. The system has had the disk controller firmware updated and has been re-running the acceptance tests since yesterday (3rd Nov).<br />

* From the MB last week: <br />
** Memory Requirements: LHC experiments all basically agreed that 2GB/core was the baseline but that some (advertised) resources with up to 4GB/core would be valuable for some workflows.<br />
** February as kick-off for technical evolution groups.<br />
** PCP - Pre-commercial-procurement and HNSciCloud. This is approved and starts January-16. UK has small involvement. The plan is to build on the hybrid cloud service that results, in order to deploy a European Open Science Cloud funded from the INFRADEV-04 (2016) call <br />

'''Tuesday 27th October'''<br />
* 13th MW Readiness WG meeting THIS Wed 28/10 @ 4pm CET in CERN room 28-S-023 or via vidyo.<br />
* There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last Thursday: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393618/ Agenda] - [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes151022 Minutes]. <br />
<br />
'''Next Meeting is scheduled for Thursday 22nd October'''<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 6th October'''<br />
* There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last week. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes151001 Minutes]. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393617/ Agenda] (which has John Gordon's accounting slides).<br />
* The highlights:<br />
** dCache sites should install the latest fix for SRM solving a vulnerability<br />
** All sites hosting a regional or local site xrootd should updgrade it at least to version 4.1.1<br />
** CMS DPM sites should consider upgrading dpm-xrootd to version 3.5.5 now (from epel-testing) or after mid October (from epel-stable) to fix a problem affecting AAA<br />
** Tier-1 sites should do their best to avoid scheduling OUTAGE downtimes at the same time as other Tier-1's supporting common LHC VOs. A calendar will be linked in the minutes of the 3 o'clock operations meeting to easily find out if there are already downtimes at a given date<br />
** The multicore accounting for WLCG is now correct for the 99.5% of the CPU time, with the few remaining issues being addressed. Corrected historical accounting data is expected to be available from the production portal by the end of the month<br />
** All LHCb sites will soon be asked to deploy the "machine features" functionality<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 22nd September'''<br />
* There was an ops coordination meeting last Thursday: [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150917 Minutes].<br />
* Highlights:<br />
** All 4 experiments have now an agreed workflow with the T0 for tickets that should be handled by the experiment supporters and were accidentally assigned to the T0 service managers.<br />
** A new FTS3 bug fixing release 3.3.1 is now available.<br />
** A globus lib issue is causing problems with FTS3 for sites running IPv6.<br />
** The rogue Glasgow configuration management tool replacing the current configuration for VOMS with the old one was picked up and unfortunately discussed as though sites had not got the message about using the new VOMS.<br />
** No network problems experienced with the transatlantic link despite 3 out of 4 cables being unavailable.<br />
** T0 experts are investigating the slow WN performance reported by LHCb and others.<br />
** A group of experts at CERN and CMS investigate ARGUS authentication problems affecting CMS VOBOXes.<br />
** T1 & T2 sites please observe the actions requested by ATLAS and CMS (also on the WLCG Operations portal).<br />
* Actions for [https://wlcg-ops.web.cern.ch/sys-admins/tasks Sites]; [https://wlcg-ops.web.cern.ch/experiments/tasks Experiments].<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 15th September'''<br />
* The [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393616/ next WLCG ops coordination meeting is this Thursday 17th September]. Are there any Tier-2 issues we wish to raise? Minutes will appear [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150917 here]. <br />

'''Tuesday 3rd November'''<br />
A reminder that there is a weekly [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/RAL_Tier1_Experiments_Liaison_Meeting Tier-1 experiment liaison meeting]. Notes from the last meeting [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2015-10-28 here]<br />
* A week ago we had two disk server failures over the weekend (Both part of Atlas Tape). The servers have had disks replaced and re-run the acceptance testing. We anticipate their return to service very soon. There is also one further disk server out of service in AtlasTape from the moment.<br />
* We are investigating why LHCB batch jobs sometimes fail to write results back to Castor (and the sometimes fail to write remotely as well).<br />
* As reported this last couple of weeks - we did have a problem with glexec for the worker nodes over a weekend. We are still trying to understand why this problem was not seen during the testing and roll-out of the new worker node configuration.<br />

'''Tuesday 3rd November'''<br />
* The long-standing UCL availability alarm went green yesterday on 29th October. We are not sure why!<br />
* Quite a lot of activity on the dashboard this week, but only one or two new tickets. <br />
* Tickets: Five for availability / reliability: Sussex, Sheffield, Liverpool, Lancaster and UCL. Two for GLUE2 validation: Liverpool and QMUL. One for the CEs at QMU<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 20th October'''<br />
<br />
Lots of bits here and there, but no big pattern. Tickets about CE and storage problems open at several sites. QMUL notable as going on for a while, probably with some kind of configuration problem they're not identifying.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 6th October'''<br />
* With the exception of the dashboard getting really confused early in the week as the Nagios instances at Oxford and Lancaster came and went, it's been a fairly quiet week. There are four outstanding tickets:<br />
** Three for availability / reliabaility (Sussex, Liverpool and Lancaster).<br />
** One at Bristol for a GridFTP transfer problem.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 15th September'''<br />
* Generally quiet. QMUL have some grumblyness with the CEs. However, I understand much of this is caused by the batch farm being busy. There are low-availability tickets 'on hold' for Liverpool and UCL.<br />

'''Monday 2nd November 2015, 13.30 GMT'''<br /><br />
22 Open UK Tickets this week. First Monday of the Month, so all the tickets get looked at, however run of the mill they are.<br />
<br />
First, the link to all the UK [http://tinyurl.com/nwgrnys '''tickets'''].<br />
<br />
'''SUSSEX'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116915 116915] (14/10)<br /><br />
Low availability Ops ticket. On holded whilst the numbers sooth themselves. On Hold (23/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116865 116865] (12/10)<br /><br />
Sno+ job submission failures. Not much on this ticket since it was set In Progress. Looks like an argus problem. How goes things at Sussex before Matt RB moves on? (We'll miss you Matt!). In progress (20/10)<br />
<br />
'''RALPP'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117261 117261] (28/10)<br /><br />
Atlas jobs failing with stage out failures. Federico notices that the failures are due to odd errors - "file already existing", and that things seem to be calming themselves. He's at a loss of what RALPP can do. Checking the panda link suggests the errors are still there today. Waiting for reply (29/10)<br />
<br />
'''BRISTOL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116775 116775] (6/10)<br /><br />
Bristol's CMS glexec ticket. It looks like the solution is to have more cms pool accounts (which of course requires time to deploy). In progress (28/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117303 117303] (30/10)<br /><br />
CMS, not Highlander fans, don't seem to believe that There can be only One (glexec ticket). Poor old Bristol seem to be playing whack-a-mole with duplicate tickets. Is there a note that can be left somewhere to stop this happening? Assigned (30/10)<br />
<br />
'''ECDF'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95303 95303] (Long long ago)<br /><br />
Edinburgh's (and indeed Scotgrid's) only ticket is this tarball glexec ticket. A bit more on this later. On hold (18/5)<br />
<br />
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114460 114460] (18/6)<br /><br />
Gridpp (and other) VO pilot roles at Sheffield. No news for a while, snoplus are trying to use pilot roles now for dirac so this is becoming very relevant. In progress (9/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116560 116560] (30/9)<br /><br />
Sno+ jobs failing, likely due to too many being submitted to the 10 slots that Sno+ has. Maybe a WMS scheduling problem - Stephen B has given advice. Elena asked if the problem persisted a few weeks ago. Waiting for reply (12/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116967 116967] (17/10)<br /><br />
A ROD availability ticket, on hold as per SOP. On hold (20/10)<br />
<br />
'''LANCASTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116478 116478] (28/9)<br /><br />
Another availability ticket. Autumn was not kind to many of us! On hold (8/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116882 116882] (13/10)<br /><br />
Enabling pilot snoplus users at Lancaster. Shouldn't have been a problem, but turned into a bit of a comedy/tragedy of errors by yours truly mucking up. Hopefully fixed now- thanks to Daniela for her patience. In progress (2/11)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95299 95299] (Far far away)<br /><br />
glexec tarball ticket. There's been a lot of communication with the glexec devs about this - the hopefully last hurdle is sorting out the RPATHs for the libraries. It's not a small hurdle though... On hold (2/11)<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117151 117151](23/10)<br /><br />
A ticket about jumbo frame problems, submitted to QM. After Dan provided some education the user replied, in that he only sees this problem at two atlas sites. But he is contacting the network admins at his institution to see if it is their end. On hold (29/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117011 117011] (19/10)<br /><br />
ROD ticket for glue-validate errors. Went away for a while after Dan re-yaimed his site bdii, but possibly back again. Daniela suggests re-running the glue-validate test. Reopened (2/11)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116689 116689] (6/10)<br /><br />
Another ROD ticket, where Ops glexec test jobs are seemingly timing out for QM (this is the ticket Daniela mentioned on the ops mailing list). Dan noted that with the cluster half full tests were passing, suggesting some kind of load correlation (but as he also notes - what's getting loaded and causing the problem - Batch, CE or WNs?). Kashif reckons the argus server, and suggests a handy glexec time test which he posted. In progress (2/11)<br />
<br />
'''BRUNEL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117324 117324] (2/11)<br /><br />
A fresh looking ROD ticket - Raul had to restart the BDII and hopefully that got it. In progress (2/11)<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116358 116358] (22/9)<br /><br />
Missing Image at 100IT. 100IT have asked for more details, no news since. Waiting for reply (19/10)<br />
<br />
'''THE TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116866 116866] (12/10)<br /><br />
Snoplus pilot enablement (not actually a word) at the Tier 1. New accounts were being requested after some internal discussion. On hold (19/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=116864 116864] (12/10)<br /><br />
CMS AAA tests failing (the submitter notes "again..."). There are some oddities with other sites, which might be remote problems, but Andrew notes that previous manual fixes have been overwritten which likely explains why problems came back. In progress (does it need to be waiting for a reply?) (26/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117171 117171] (24/10)<br /><br />
LHCB had problems with an arc CE that was misbehaving for everyone. Things were fixed, and this ticket can now be closed. Waiting for reply (can be closed) (27/10)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117277 117277] (30/10)<br /><br />
Atlas have spotted "bring online timeout has been exceeded). This appears to be a mixture of problems adding up, such as a number of borken disk nodes and heavy write access by atlas. In progress (2/11)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117248 117248] (28/10)<br /><br />
I believe related to the discussion on tb-support, this ticket requests that new SRM host certs that meet the requirements specified be requested for the RAL SRMs. Jens was on it, and the new certs are ready to be deployed. In progress (30/10)<br />
<br />
[https://vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=15 '''Other VO Nagios'''] - some badness at Sussex, but they have a ticket open for that.<br />

''' Tuesday 6 Oct 2015'''<br />
<br />
Moved Gridppnagios instance back to Oxford from Lancaster. It was kind of double whammy as both sites went down together. Fortunately Oxford site was partially working so we managed to start SAM Nagios at Oxford. Sam tests were unavailable for few hours but no affect on egi availibilty/reliability. Sites can have a look at https://mon.egi.eu/myegi/ss/ for a/r status. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 29 Sep 2015'''<br />
<br />
Following an air-conditioning problem at machine room in Oxford Tier-2 site on 26 September, gridppnagios(OX) was shut down and gridppnagios(Lancs) became active instance. Oxford site is in downtime until 1st Oct and it may be extended depending on the situation. <br />
VO-Nagios was also unavailable for two days but we have started it yesterday as it is running on a VM. VO-nagios is using oxford SE for replication test so it is failing those tests. I am looking to change to some other SE. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 09 June 2015'''<br />
*ARC CEs were failing nagios test becuase of non-availability of egi repository. Nagios test compare CA version from EGI repo. It started on 5th June and one of the IP addresses behind webserver was not responding. Problem went away in approximately 3 hours. The same problem started again on 6th June. Finally it was fixed on 8th June. No reason was given in any of the ticket opened regarding this outage. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th February'''<br />
* Another period where message brokers were temporarily unavailable seen yesterday. Any news on the last follow-up?<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 27th January'''<br />
* Unscheduled outage of the EGI message broker (GRNET) caused a short-lived disruption to GridPP site monitoring (jobs failed) last Thursday 22nd January. Suspect BDII caching meant no immediate failover to stomp://mq.cro-ngi.hr:6163/ from stomp://mq.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr:6163/<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes how to transfer files into, out of, or across the GridPP infrastructure. Several tools are available; some experiments use their own tools (not documented here) usually layered on top of the lower level tools.<br />
<br />
== File Transfer Service ==<br />
<br />
The file transfer service is based on the [http://www.eu-emi.eu/ EMI] [http://www.eu-emi.eu/products/-/asset_publisher/1gkD/content/fts3 FTS3]. CERN runs an [http://fts3-service.web.cern.ch/ FTS3 service]; the [RAL Tier 1] runs an FTS service as well albeit without a web front end. These instructions are for the use of the RAL FTS.<br />
<br />
=== File Transfer Jobs ===<br />
<br />
File transfer requests are submitted to FTS in ''jobs'', each job containing between 1 and 2000 transfers. At the time of the submission, a proxy is delegated (see the Proxies section below) which will manage the transfers within the job, so the proxy lifetime must be long enough to accommodate all the transfers.<br />
<br />
Important FTS switches (for fts-transfer-submit)<br />
<br />
* '''-s''' - service endpoint: use https://lcgfts3.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:8443/<br />
* '''-e''' - expiration time: note that the documentation says it's in minutes but it is in seconds!<br />
* '''-K''' - for comparing checksums between source and destination (usually ADLER32)<br />
* '''-o''' - for overwriting destination files (use with caution)<br />
* '''-r''' - reuse the channel - particularly important for transferring lots of (small) files<br />
* '''--retry''' - the retry count; by default FTS ''will try only once'' as retries can sometimes be counterproductive (wasting time transferring a file that cannot be transferred)<br />
<br />
Other things to remember:<br />
* If overwrite is off, transferring an existing file is an error (it will count as a failed transfer)<br />
* FTS will, oddly, refuse to transfer a zero length file. Not only that, but the transfer will count as a failed transfer.<br />
* The transfers will only use the proxy with which they were submitted; not any later (or fresher) proxies. See the Proxies section below.<br />
* Source and destination must be full SURLs or TURLs (if this doesn't make sense, think of full URLs).<br />
<br />
=== Proxies ===<br />
<br />
* FTS will do a delegation based on the local proxy the user holds (grid or voms proxy) when:<br />
** the user runs a delegating command such as fts-delegation-init or fts-transfer-submit<br />
** AND the local proxy has a lifetime more than one hour<br />
** AND the server does not already hold any proxy for the user (DN) with a lifetime of more than four hours<br />
<br />
* If the delegation is attempted and the local proxy lifetime is less than one hour then the delegation will fail.<br />
<br />
* When a job is submitted, the transfers will use the proxy available at the time (delegated with the submission or the one on the server if validity is >4hrs) - if this proxy expires, every transfer will fail. There is no renewal of proxies (Ã la MyProxy).<br />
<br />
When using plain old grid proxies, the best approach is thus to create a proxy with as long a lifetime as possible, delegate it to the server and then forget about it.<br />
<br />
Now the thick plottens. Suppose we want to use a VOMS proxy. VOMS attributes (embedded in the voms proxy) have a maximal lifetime (by configuration/policy) of 24 hours, so the complete proxy can have a lifetime of at most 24 hours.<br />
<br />
It follows that one should:<br />
#. Get as long a proxy as possible (e.g. 24 hrs) and delegate it to FTS<br />
#. Submit as many transfers as can comfortably fit into that lifetime minus four hours (so 20 hrs) - however, transfers can and do continue for the full lifetime of the proxy<br />
#. Keep an eye on the progress of the transfers (to submit more/fewer or even cancel as needed)<br />
#. When there is less than four hours left on the server's proxy, and just prior to a new job is being submitted, create a new proxy.<br />
<br />
Of course if one creates proxies manually it becomes inconvenient to create new proxies every twenty-hours-and-one-minute. It may make sense then to create a proxy in the morning (say, at 9am) with a lifetime of 11.5 hours, so it will expire at 20:30; and then create a new proxy at 17:00 with a lifetime of 19.5 hours, so it expires at 12:30 the following day - and then create a new proxy at 09:00 the following day. This way, once always has a fresh VOMS proxy to delegate and run the transfers. The downside is to remember to do it and one also has to do it during the weekend.<br />

== Grid Storage ==<br />
<br />
WLCG moves and stores hundreds of petabytes of data - much of it replicas of other data, to ensure high availability and resilience. GridPP provides storage in WLCG via the Tier 1 at RAL and via its Tier 2 sites. The grid storage is based on the so-called "storage elements" (or SEs), which provide a grid interface to quite diverse storage systems. SEs provide ''control'' interfaces like SRM, ''information'' interfaces based on LDAP (more or less), and interfaces for ''data transfer'' and ''data access''. <br />
<br />
GridPP also offers data moving tools, primarily the [http://fts3-service.web.cern.ch/ File Transfer Service]. Some SEs support [http://www.globus.org/ GlobusOnline], with CASTOR (the Tier 1 SE) being an exception. See [[Transferring Files]] for more information.<br />
<br />
=== GridPP Storage and Data Management Group ===<br />
<br />
Or "GridPP storage" for short.<br />
<br />
The GridPP project runs a Storage and Data Management group, a group of which supports running and using the SEs themselves, the data transfer protocols, and improving performance and resilience. And is generally the fount of all knowledge, at least as regards grid storage and its use. Membership is open to all [http://wlcg.web.cern.ch/ WLCG] Tier 2s and others working in grid storage including representatives from the VOs: membership can be requested at [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-STORAGE.html jiscmail]. Archives are public.<br />
<br />
The group runs a weekly audio-conference-technology-du-jour meeting every Wednesday 10.00 London time (and Edinburgh time, and Cardiff time, and Belfast time) for its members and occasional guests. Joinological information is sent to the list but currently uses [https://vidyoportal.cern.ch/ Vidyo] at this [https://vidyoportal.cern.ch/flex.html?roomdirect.html&key=QBhf7AIRnfR7 connection url]. Notes from these meetings can be found [http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/ here]; like the mailing list archives, they are also public. There is also usually a summary at the [[Operations Bulletin Latest|operations page]].<br />
<br />
Finally, but not least, keep up with our low volume but great content blog: [https://gridpp-storage.blogspot.co.uk/ GridPP Storage Blog] or read all blogs on [http://planet.gridpp.ac.uk/ GridPP Planet].<br />
<br />
== Information about data storage and management in GridPP ==<br />
<br />
=== Information for users (or potential users) ===<br />
<br />
Users of GridPP resources tend to be grouped together in collaborations (known as Virtual Organisations, or VOs), with a common research purpose. VOs can range in size from several thousand down to in principle a single person. The [[Main Page]] has more information about "joining the grid" as a [[Main Page#Getting up and running on the grid - new VOs|new VO]] or [[Main Page#Getting up and running on the grid - users|becoming a members of an existing VO]]. <br />
<br />
As regards the data volume, sites can often at their discretion allocate resources as long as, say, only a few tens of terabytes are required. Experience has shown, however, that even small VOs can suddenly grow and will need stricter data management, so it is best to plan for growth by requesting - and getting - and using! - a space allocation (identified by a so-called space token.)<br />
<br />
For "small" VOs (by data volume) it is considered best practice to start with data at only one or two sites. By construction, the grid should let you have data "on the grid" and not worry about where it is, but in practice you may be supported by site administrators, particularly in the beginning, and it may be best to start with one or two sites. (If you are a ''local VO'', i.e. local to a site, that site would of course be your main resource and your main support.)<br />
<br />
=== Information for sites (and prospective sites) ===<br />
<br />
We recommend that you join the storage meeting - see above.<br />
<br />
=== Information for everybody else ===<br />
<br />
Have a look at the technical but still somewhat informative - and certainly colourful - [http://www.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/status/ dashboard for the Tier 1]. Read our sometimes technical but excellent blog, the [http://gridpp-storage.blogspot.co.uk/ GridPP storage blog].<br />
<br />
== GridPP expertise ==<br />
<br />
Storage experts in GridPP have a lot of expertise with storage systems: Mostly, of course Grid storage, but also maintaining the underlying storage clusters, distributed filesystems, and data management for science in general.<br />
<br />
=== Technology ===<br />
<br />
There are several key bits of software used within GridPP to provide grid-enabled storage, currently all offer an implementation of the Storage Resource Manager (SRM) protocol, as well as a range of other interfaces. Tier-2 sites offer disk storage using:<br />
<br />
* [[Disk Pool Manager]]<br />
* [[StoRM]]<br />

'''Tuesday 1st September'''<br />
* From October/November, the EGI ops VO monitoring will be performed using RFC proxies, as opposed to legacy proxies.<br />
* There will be a new filter for the critical profile for ATLAS WLCG SAM tests so that only production endpoints will be tested and taken into account for site availability metrics. This will be available from the SAM3 interface.<br />
* CNAF: Due to a fire causing problems with one electrical supply line that happened last Thursday, the computing centre is running at lower capacity (around 30% less of the pledged capacity).<br />
* Machine job features testing has hit a big according to Raul!<br />
* The HNSciCloud PCP pilot proposal successful submission (refer to Andrew Sansum's talk at GridPP34 if you forget what this means!). The project intends to procure commercial cloud resources for FY17 and FY18. We will contribute 75K euro towards this activity and the EU will then top up to 250K euro.<br />
* There was an EGI Operations Management Board last Thursday. There are no summary notes yet, but please take a look at the [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2379 agenda] and linked talks (may be worth skimming them at the ops meeting).<br />
* There was a quick request/reminder for sites to please update their [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/IPv6_site_status IPv6 entries in the GridPP wiki].<br />
* RAL is closed on Monday and Tuesday of this week!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 24th August'''<br />
* A [https://indico.cern.ch/event/319751/ draft agenda for the September GDB] is taking shape. Any Tier-2 rep volunteers this month please email Jeremy.<br />
* Interest in HTCondor CE. (Ops thread 20/08).<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 18th August'''<br />
* Root CA - Jens will provide a quick incident report of what went wrong!<br />
* [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGDailyMeetingsWeek150817#Monday Notes from Monday's WLCG ops meeting] are available. <br />
* DPM tuning (raised my Matt D - 17/08)<br />
* [http://cds.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2015/32/News%20Articles/2038500?ln=en Developers@CERN Forum] is an initiative of a group of developers targeting all software developers at CERN.<br />
* Multicore inefficiencies: RAL - CMS allocated slots not used. Glasgow - the concern for us is CPU that was previously being used by ATLAS is no longer being used because of multicore size mismatches. <br />
* [https://labs.ripe.net/atlas/user-experiences RIPE ATLAS probe experience pages]. <br />
* Automating ATLAS consistency checking (See Alastair's email 12/08)<br />
* For generating docs out of markdown Steve T can recommend gitbook. This is what CERN use for the [http://cern.ch/config Config guide].<br />

* Highlights: <br />
* Calling for volunteers to write articles on interesting topics for WLCG Operations. There is a [http://wlcg-ops.web.cern.ch/articles section in the portal] for this. In case you are interested, please send a mail to wlcg-ops-coord-chair people for details.<br />
* CERN is going to disable in few weeks write operations via RFIO v2 to Castor in the context of the RFIO access decommission.<br />
* A downtime for the Argus service @ CERN is expected due to the pending filer migration. No dates yet but it will affect ARGUS, all CEs and all batch worker nodes (glExec) running GridJobs. The downtime is foreseen to last 1h-2h.<br />
* Issues with VMs in Tier-0 infra also reported by CMS<br />
* LHCb is trying to integrate submission to the HTCondorCE instance @ CERN<br />
* A message broker pre-prod infra has been setup @ CERN to enable distribution of perfSONAR data to the experiments. OSG is enabling the data publication from the ITB collector service<br />

21 Open UK tickets this week, most being looked at or are understood. There will be no ticket update from Matt next week (1st September) either, as he will be flapping about during a local downtime.<br />

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114460 114460] (gridpp pilots at Sheffield) could do with an update. The Liverpool ticket discussed last week ([https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114248 114248]) has received an update from the user saying that the ticket can be closed. As Steve mentioned last week the underlying issue is still very much there, but I don't think this ticket is a suitable banner for us to fight that battle under.<br />

|}<br />
* On the morning of Thursday 13th August a problem - seen as failing tests - was triggered by the rollout of an invalid UK CA CRL. The problem was identified and resolved during the morning.<br />
** What we don't know is why the invalid CRL caused things to fail - maybe old versions of fetch-crl<br />
** A full report of the incident of the CRL issuance was given to dteam at 2015-08-18<br />
* There has been a significant backlog of migrations to tape for Atlas as the instance is seeing very high load. Various changes have been made to improve the throughput although so far these have not made a significant difference. <br />
* There was a problem flagged by LHCb that was last week triggered by the updates to the information provided to the information system by the ARC CEs. This was fixed on Thursday (13th).<br />
* There had been a problem 'un-banning' a particular LHCB user. An upgrade was applied to the argus server and caches flushed to resolve this.<br />
* We received a ticket from Atlas about a bad file that had been recalled from tape. Investigation showed that the file was larger than expected. We are working out how to profit from these "bonus bytes".<br />

* GDSS720 (AtlasDataDisk - D1T0) crashed on Tuesday 11th. The machine is put back in draining mode on the 12th. Drain still ongoing ahead of further investigations.<br />
* GDSS707 (AtlasDataDisk - D1T0) crashed on the morning of Monday 17th Aug. The server has been put back in service readonly. It will be drained for further intervention once the drain of GDSS720 is complete.<br />

* The post mortem review of the network incident on the 8th April has been finalised. It can be seen here:<br />
** https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/RAL_Tier1_Incident_20150408_network_intervention_preceding_Castor_upgrade<br />
* The intermittent, low-level, load-related packet loss over the OPN to CERN is still being tracked.<br />
* There are some on-going issues for CMS. These are a problem with the Xroot (AAA) redirection accessing Castor; Slow file open times using Xroot; and poor batch job efficiencies. The change to the Linux I/O scheduler on CMS disk servers referred to last week has improved data access rates for the worst cases of batch work (pile-up jobs).<br />

<!-- ******* still to be formally scheduled and/or announced ******* -----><br />
* Upgrade of Castor disk servers to SL6. We plan to do this for the D1T0 Service Classes on the 26/27 August with an extended 'At Risk'.<br />
* Upgrade of the Oracle databases behind Castor to version 11.2.0.4. This is a multi-step intervention. Whilst we need to confirm exact dates we are looking at the following days in September, but the dates are likely to be revised:<br />
** Tuesday 15th September: day's Outage for Atlas & GEN.<br />
** Tuesday 22nd September: at risk on Atlas & GEN.<br />
** Tuesday 6th October: day's Outage for ALL instances.<br />
** Thursday 8th October: day's at risk for ALL instances<br />
** Tuesday 13th October: Half day outage for ALL instances.<br />
* Some detailed internal network reconfigurations to be tackled now that the routers are stable. Notably:<br />
** Brief (less than 20 seconds) break in internal connectivity while systems in the UPS room are re-connected.<br />
** Replacement of cables and connectivity to the UKLIGHT router that provides our link to both the OPN Link to CERN and the bypass route for other data transfers.<br />
* Extending the rollout of the new worker node configuration.<br />
<br />
'''Listing by category:'''<br />
* Databases:<br />
** Switch LFC/3D to new Database Infrastructure.<br />
** Update to Oracle 11.2.0.4. This will affect all services that use Oracle databases: Castor, Atlas Frontier (LFC done)<br />
* Castor:<br />
** Update SRMs to new version (includes updating to SL6).<br />
** Update the Oracle databases behind Castor to version 11.2.0.4. Will require some downtimes (See above)<br />
** Update disk servers to SL6.<br />
** Update to Castor version 2.1.15.<br />
* Networking:<br />
** Increase bandwidth of the link from the Tier1 into the RAL internal site network to 40Gbit.<br />
** Make routing changes to allow the removal of the UKLight Router.<br />
** Cabling/switch changes to the network in the UPS room to improve resilience.<br />
* Fabric<br />
** Firmware updates on remaining EMC disk arrays (Castor, FTS/LFC)<br />

* From Winnie: yaim on CREAM-CE - no update of var/lib/bdii/gip/ldif/ files. Should it?<br />
* From Catalin (16th July): The decommissioning process of the 'gridpp.ac.uk' CVMFS space is about halfway, and it came to my attention the fact that sites are defining the CVMFS_REPOSITORIES variable at WN level. Whilst this variable was mandatory with cvmfs v2.0.X, this is not case with v2.1.Y. I would ask site admins to remove the 'gridpp.ac.uk' repository names from there, except the regional UK VO repositories (londongrid, scotgrid, southgrid, north grid)<br />
* /cvmfs/gridpp-vo help. Down to the repository? Is more documentation needed here?<br />
* Atlas ADC meeting containing discussion of the future of cloud support is at 4.30 on the 21st of July, and sites are welcome to attend.<br />
* For those who missed it: [arxiv.org/abs/1507.03414 observation of a new particle with LHCb]! Also see the [http://lhcb-public.web.cern.ch/lhcb-public/Welcome.html#Penta press release]. <br />

A reminder that there is a weekly [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/RAL_Tier1_Experiments_Liaison_Meeting Tier-1 experiment liaison meeting]. Notes from the last meeting [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2015-08-05 here]<br />
* the outages of the previous week preceded a long-planned scheduled intervention on 4th August when an engineer from the router vendor company was present. As a result of this intervention and associated discussions we believe these router problems are now largely understood and we are again running with a resilient pair of network routers. <br />
* There was a problem with a core switch and router on the morning of Saturday 8th August. The RAL site was offline from approx 7:30 until 10:00. <br />
* Looking upgrading Castor disk servers OS during second half of August and updating the Castor Oracle database during September.<br />
* Ongoing testing of worker nodes running a new configuration where they obtain the grid middleware via cvmfs. Will now move to rollout across more nodes.<br />

- This includes notifying of (inter)national services that will have an outage in the coming weeks or will be impacted by work elsewhere. (Cross-check the Tier-1 update).<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 14th July'''<br />
* GridPP35 in September will have a part focus on networking and IPv6. This will include a review of where sites are with their deployment. Please try to firm up dates for your IPv6 availability between now and September. Please update the [https://gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/IPv6_site_status GridPP IPv6 status table]. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 23rd June'''<br />
* GridPP issued a position statement regarding LHCONE. <br />
** ...Concerning LHCONE for both T1 and T2. The high level summary is that the UK is not in favour, as within the UK we have no explicit need for LHCONE for any reason of T1 capacity planning, but to implement it involves additional complexity and possibly cost. The current system works fine and we therefore see no overriding reason to remove T1-T1 transit via LHCOPN. ...The UK is sensitive to the “collective” needs of the community, and as a general statement we would always seek to address any legitimate request agreed by the WLCG MB in order to play our role in meeting international expectations.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 12th May'''<br />
* LHCOPN & LHCONE joint meeting at LBL June 1st & 2nd. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/376098/ Agenda] taking shape.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 31st March'''<br />
* Duncan has been giving the IPv6 nodes a push! See [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/nettest_v6.html Steve's IPv6 transfers page].<br />

'''Monday 10th August 2015, 15.00 BST'''<br /><br />
<br />
[https://vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=15 T'Other VO Nagios] looks alright at time of writing.<br />
<br />
24 Open UK tickets this week.<br />
<br />
''Lots of activity on GGUS since yesterday. Most positive, but I see the number of tickets at EFDA-JET increasing - all three from biomed.''<br />
<br />
'''Tier 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=115512 115512] (5/8)<br /><br />
An interesting ticket - where a banned user is still banned after moving to LHCB from Biomed (no, he's not called Heinz). In Progress (6/8) ''Update - Andrew has asked that the ticket be reassigned to the argus devs as the pepd logs are showing oddness. Waiting for reply now.''<br />
<br />
'''Bristol'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=115565 115565] (7/8)<br /><br />
Bristol's phedex agents are down, and have been for a few days. I might have dreamt this, but thought that the Bristol Phedex service might not be hosted at Bristol, especially after RALPP had a similar ticket ([https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=115566 115566]) at the same time. Assigned (7/8) ''Update - solved''<br />
<br />
'''Manchester'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=115504 115504] (ROD Ticket) ''Solved'' <br /> <br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=115399 115399] (Wiki Ticket) ''Still Open'' <br /> <br />
Both these tickets look like they can be closed.<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=115525 115525] (5/8)<br /><br />
Atlas deletion errors after a a disk server fell over- nothing wrong with the ticket handling, but Alessandra brings up a point that always niggles me - the emphasis on the total number of transaction errors and not the number of affected unique files. In progress (8/8)<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114573 114573] (23/6)<br /><br />
LHCB ticket sparked by those IPv6 problems. Still no word from Vladimir; Raja - could you comment? I suspect there's been plenty of room for LHCB jobs in QM's (and everyone else who mainlines atlas jobs) queues this weekend. Waiting for reply (21/7)<br />

'''Tuesday 09 June 2015'''<br />
*ARC CEs were failing nagios test becuase of non-availability of egi repository. Nagios test compare CA version from EGI repo. It started on 5th June and one of the IP addresses behind webserver was not responding. Problem went away in approximately 3 hours. The same problem started again on 6th June. Finally it was fixed on 8th June. No reason was given in any of the ticket opened regarding this outage. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th February'''<br />
* Another period where message brokers were temporarily unavailable seen yesterday. Any news on the last follow-up?<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 27th January'''<br />
* Unscheduled outage of the EGI message broker (GRNET) caused a short-lived disruption to GridPP site monitoring (jobs failed) last Thursday 22nd January. Suspect BDII caching meant no immediate failover to stomp://mq.cro-ngi.hr:6163/ from stomp://mq.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr:6163/<br />

* The camont collaboration is no longer active, but the VO is enabled and useful. Previous contributors to the camont work would like to re-purpose the VO to support the Cambridge '[http://www.comprt.org/research/ghost-project Geant Human Oncology Simulation Tool]’. Providing we broadcast any change to sites supporting camont and the AUP changes (and all users re-sign it), is there any objection to this pragmatic solution (it fits well our current aim of getting varied communities using our resources successfully).<br />

'''Tuesday 7th July'''<br />
* There was an ops coordination meeting last Thursday 2nd July. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393610/ Agenda]: [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150702 Minutes].<br />
* Highlights: The next WLCG workshop will take place in Lisbon in the first week of February 2016 and organised by LIP. A new version of UMD (3.13) has been released. The size of the HTCondor pilot service at CERN is now 300 cores and fully used. Agreed to establish a full, WLCG-wide perfSONAR mesh for the top 100 sites .<br />
* [https://wlcg-mw-readiness.cern.ch/baseline/current/ Baselines]: New version of UMD ( v 3.13): Fixes/improvements for: gLexec; CREAM; StorRM; dpm-xrootd; fetch-crl. <br />
** New version of the WN tarball (3.15.3-1_sl6v1) published to CVMFS grid.cern.ch, it includes updates and the gfal2-util package for the first time.<br />
* Issues: NTR<br />
* T0/T1 services: LFC decommissioned. Various T1 storage updates.<br />
* T0 news: Condor prototype at CERN: We have now increased the pool size to almost 300 cores; ATLAS T0 LSF instance: the required capacity (110 KSpec) has been provided; The T0 receives more and more tickets (coming from GGUS or directly from SNOW) which are related to experiment support.<br />
* T1: NTR<br />
* T2: NTR<br />
* ALICE: 80k concurrent jobs reached for many hours on Jun 21-22. Failed jobs due to CVMFS cache corruption; network incident Fri evening Jun 26 caused all VOBOXes for CERN to become unreachable; latest CASTOR versions are incompatible with old xrd3cp implementation.<br />
* * Tier-1 sites requested to upgrade to Xrootd 4.1 (or newer).<br />
* ATLAS: seeing lost files due to interaction between Rucio/FTS, something in Rucio, something in FTS.<br />
* CMS: Good utilization; Faulty MC production workflows seen (me allocations >100GB); Root certificate of Spanish CA recently expired at some sites.<br />
* LHCb: Problems with DPM SEs at T2 sites. Some files had no checksum. Checking and recovering checksum for all files.<br />
* WLCG site survey on GGUS: Pablo reports the high level of satisfaction (98%). Some requests already supported. Some common issues reported (like lack of detail in tickets). [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393610/contribution/5/material/slides/1.pdf See slides]. <br />
* gLExec: NTR<br />
* RPF proxies: proper patch of the proxy renewal sensor for SAM is available.<br />
* Machine/job features: NTR<br />
* MIddleware readiness: Latest version of pakiti-client (v3.0.1) with tag support has been pushed to EPEL stable; PIC and Brunel are collaborating for PhedeX tests. This allows PIC to better compare one site against another. Next meeting Wednesday September 16th at 4pm CEST.<br />
* Multicore deployment: John Gordon will send out a broadcast and produce an updated list of missing CEs. Action should stay until all sites done.<br />
* IPv6: NTR.<br />
* Squid monitoring & HTTP proxy discovery: Little reported.<br />
* Network & transfers: Agreed to establish WLCG-wide meshes for top 100 sites (based on the contributed storage and location). This will enable full mesh testing of latencies, traceroutes and throughput; perfSONAR 3.5 RC is planned to be released this week. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393101/ Next meeting will be on 8th of July].<br />
* HTTP deployment: NTR.<br />
* [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150702#Specific_actions_for_sites See site actions].<br />

<br />
'''Tuesday 30th June'''<br />
* A new WLCG ops portal will be live soon. If you are particularly keen to give feedback please contact Jeremy<br />

'''Monday 22nd June'''<br />
* Generally quiet. There are some 'glue2' errors that were ticketed. Tried to let these go and see if they would clear. However, in some cases the amount of time the error was outstanding was building up. Unclear if Glue2 is used anywhere.<br />

* MW Readiness WG meeting Wed May 6th at 4pm. Attended by Raul, Matt, Sam and Jeremy.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th March'''<br />
* Daniela has updated the [ https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Staged_rollout_emi3 EMI-3 testing table]. Please check it is correct for your site. We want a clear view of where we are contributing.<br />
* There is a middleware readiness meeting this Wednesday. Would be good if a few site representatives joined.<br />
* Machine job features solution testing. Fed back that we will only commence tests if more documentation made available. This stops the HTC solution until after CHEP. Is there interest in testing other batch systems? Raul mentioned SLURM. There is also SGE and Torque.<br />

'''Tuesday 23rd June'''<br />
* GridPP issued a position statement regarding LHCONE. <br />
** ...Concerning LHCONE for both T1 and T2. The high level summary is that the UK is not in favour, as within the UK we have no explicit need for LHCONE for any reason of T1 capacity planning, but to implement it involves additional complexity and possibly cost. The current system works fine and we therefore see no overriding reason to remove T1-T1 transit via LHCOPN. ...The UK is sensitive to the “collective” needs of the community, and as a general statement we would always seek to address any legitimate request agreed by the WLCG MB in order to play our role in meeting international expectations.<br />

30 Open UK Tickets this month. Looking at them all!<br />
<br />
'''NGI'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114233 114233] (10/6)<br /><br />
The UK not publishing core counts at all sites. Some progress, but at last check John G couldn't see a change for Oxford or Glasgow. In progress (30/6) ''Update - Glasgow seems to be okay after de-creaming, checking the July list we have t2ce6 at Oxford, ce3 and ce4 at Durham (see their ticket) and cetest02 at IC (but that node has test in its hostname!).''<br />
<br />
'''RALPP'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114442 114442] (18/6)<br /><br />
Gridpp Pilot role ticket. Accounts need to be created, but no word for a few weeks. In progress (19/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114764 114764] (1/7)<br /><br />
Ticket tracking (false) availability issues, created to appease COD - the problem caused by a broken CA rpm release for Arc CEs. Kashif has created a counter-ticket [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114742 114742] Gordon's sagely advice is to submit a recalculation request once the issue is fixed. Assigned (1/7)<br />
<br />
'''BRISTOL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114485 114485] (19/6)<br /><br />
Bristol's gridpp pilot role ticket. No news, could do with an update really. In progress (22/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114426 114426] (18/6)<br /><br />
CMS AAA reading test problems. The Bristol admins have transferred data to their new shiny SE and have asked CMS to test again. No word since. Waiting for reply (30/6)<br />
<br />
'''EDINBURGH'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95303 95303] (1/7/13...)<br /><br />
Tarball glexec ticket, now 2 years old. After a really promising burst the last 6 weeks haven't seen any progress, due to a lot of other "normal" tarball work taking up the time. Sorry! On hold (18/5)<br />
<br />
'''DURHAM'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114536 114536] (22/6)<br /><br />
Durham's gridpp pilot role ticket. Not acknowledged yet, is Oliver back yet? Assigned (22/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114765 114765] (1/7)<br /><br />
See RALPP ticket 114764. Assigned (1/7)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114727 114727] (30/6)<br /><br />
Catalin ticketed that a number of SW_DIR variables at Durham are still pointing to the old school .gridpp.ac.uk cvmfs space. Assigned (30/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114381 114381] (16/6)<br /><br />
John G ticketed Durham over a small percentage of jobs being published as "zero core". Looks like a SLURM timeout problem, although a fix isn't obvious. Put on the back burner whilst Oliver is on holiday. On Hold (19/6)<br />
<br />
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114649 114649] (26/6)<br /><br />
A ticket from a Sno+ user about not being able to access software using the Sheffield CEs. Acknowledged but no news. In progress (26/6) ''Update - Elena can't find anything wrong, cvmfs seems to be working fine. Perhaps a problem with the environment?''<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114460 114460] (18/6)<br /><br />
Sheffield's gridpp pilot role ticket. Did you get round to rolling them out? In progress (19/6)<br />
<br />
'''MANCHESTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114444 114444] (18/6)<br /><br />
LHCB ticket concerning the DPM's SRM not returning checksum information. On hold whilst a related ticket is being looked at ([https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111403 111403]). On Hold (22/6)<br />
<br />
'''LIVERPOOL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114248 114248] (10/6)<br /><br />
Another Sno+ ticket, about grid production jobs failing at Liverpool. AIUI caused by Sno+ running out of space on the shared pool. At last check Steve posted the usage information for Sno+ but no word since (and Steve's off on his hols). In progress (17/6)<br />
<br />
'''LANCASTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114845 114845] (6/7)<br /><br />
LHCB pilots failing at Lancaster. Looks like a simple node misconfiguration, hopefully fixed, waiting to see if it is. On hold (6/7)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95299 95299] (1/7/2013)<br /><br />
glexec ticket - see Edinburgh description. On hold (15/5)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=100566 100566] (27/1)<br /><br />
Bad bandwidth performance at Lancaster. Hoping that IPv6 will shake things up a bit so pushing that. On hold (18/5)<br />
<br />
'''UCL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114746 114746] (30/6)<br /><br />
SRM-put failures ROD ticket. No news at all. Assigned (30/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114851 114851] (6/7)<br /><br />
Low availability ROD ticket, related to above. Assigned (6/7)<br />
<br />
'''RHUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114441 114441] (18/6)<br /><br />
Another GridPP pilot role ticket. Pilots rolled out, but something isn't quite right and they're not working - Govind is looking again. In progress (6/7)<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114573 114573] (23/6)<br /><br />
LHCB ticket about two out of three QM CEs not responding for them. Dan spotted the broken CEs were dual-stacked, the working one wasn't. The ticket seemed to have trailed off into some confusion over who needs to do some testing where. I agree with Dan that that who needs to be someone with LHCB credentials! The waters still seem muddied. In progress (1/7)<br />
<br />
'''IC'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114737 114737] (30/6)<br /><br />
The IC voms wasn't updating properly, due to what I infer from the ticket as "SSL/mysql madness". Simon and Robert have been heroically battling this one - it's a good read. On hold (3/7)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114379 114379] (16/6)<br /><br />
Sam's ticket about SE support in Dirac. Sam will shortly try testing things out on the new Dirac to see how it fares. In progress (6/7)<br />
<br />
'''BRUNEL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114447 114447] (18/6)<br /><br />
Brunel's gridpp pilot ticket. Being worked on, with one CE with the pilots enabled. In progress (26/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114006 114006] (31/5)<br /><br />
A ticket from APEL, about Brunel under-reporting the number of jobs they are doing. Turned out to be a problem with Arc, which Raul upgraded to the fixed 5.0 version. The APEL team deleted the sync records, but no word since. In progress (30/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114850 114850] (6/7)<br /><br />
Another APEL ticket, likely the fallout of the previous one - it looks like GAP publishing has been left on for the Brunel CREAM CEs. Assigned (6/7) ''Update - solved''<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114786 114786] (2/7)<br /><br />
Low availability ticket - see RALPP ticket 114442 - probably could do with On holding. In progress (2/7) ''Update - Onholded''<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113910 113910] (26/5)<br /><br />
Sno+ data staging problems. Brian gave some advice on how the large VOs do data staging from tape, and has asked if Sno+ still has problems. Matt M might still be on leave though. Waiting for reply (23/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944] (1/10/14)<br /><br />
CMS AAA problems, which eventually brought to light to a problem with super-hot datasets which were alleviated (I think). Despite an update to castor that improved performance the last batch of tests didn't show improved results. No news since. In progress (17/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113836 113836] (20/5)<br /><br />
Glue mismatch problems at RAL. Working on getting "many-Arcs" to correctly publish. In progress (24/6)<br />

* There was an ops coordination meeting last Thursday 2nd July. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393610/ Agenda]: [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150702 Minutes].<br />
* Highlights: The next WLCG workshop will take place in Lisbon in the first week of February 2016 and organised by LIP. A new version of UMD (3.13) has been released. The size of the HTCondor pilot service at CERN is now 300 cores and fully used. Agreed to establish a full, WLCG-wide perfSONAR mesh for the top 100 sites .<br />
* [https://wlcg-mw-readiness.cern.ch/baseline/current/ Baselines]: New version of UMD ( v 3.13): Fixes/improvements for: gLexec; CREAM; StorRM; dpm-xrootd; fetch-crl. <br />
** New version of the WN tarball (3.15.3-1_sl6v1) published to CVMFS grid.cern.ch, it includes updates and the gfal2-util package for the first time.<br />
* Issues: NTR<br />
* T0/T1 services: LFC decommissioned. Various T1 storage updates.<br />
* T0 news: Condor prototype at CERN: We have now increased the pool size to almost 300 cores; ATLAS T0 LSF instance: the required capacity (110 KSpec) has been provided; The T0 receives more and more tickets (coming from GGUS or directly from SNOW) which are related to experiment support.<br />
* T1: NTR<br />
* T2: NTR<br />
* ALICE: 80k concurrent jobs reached for many hours on Jun 21-22. Failed jobs due to CVMFS cache corruption; network incident Fri evening Jun 26 caused all VOBOXes for CERN to become unreachable; latest CASTOR versions are incompatible with old xrd3cp implementation.<br />
* * Tier-1 sites requested to upgrade to Xrootd 4.1 (or newer).<br />
* ATLAS: seeing lost files due to interaction between Rucio/FTS, something in Rucio, something in FTS.<br />
* CMS: Good utilization; Faulty MC production workflows seen (me allocations >100GB); Root certificate of Spanish CA recently expired at some sites.<br />
* LHCb: Problems with DPM SEs at T2 sites. Some files had no checksum. Checking and recovering checksum for all files.<br />
* WLCG site survey on GGUS: Pablo reports the high level of satisfaction (98%). Some requests already supported. Some common issues reported (like lack of detail in tickets). [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393610/contribution/5/material/slides/1.pdf See slides]. <br />
* gLExec: NTR<br />
* RPF proxies: proper patch of the proxy renewal sensor for SAM is available.<br />
* Machine/job features: NTR<br />
* MIddleware readiness: Latest version of pakiti-client (v3.0.1) with tag support has been pushed to EPEL stable; PIC and Brunel are collaborating for PhedeX tests. This allows PIC to better compare one site against another. Next meeting Wednesday September 16th at 4pm CEST.<br />
* Multicore deployment: John Gordon will send out a broadcast and produce an updated list of missing CEs. Action should stay until all sites done.<br />
* IPv6: NTR.<br />
* Squid monitoring & HTTP proxy discovery: Little reported.<br />
* Network & transfers: Agreed to establish WLCG-wide meshes for top 100 sites (based on the contributed storage and location). This will enable full mesh testing of latencies, traceroutes and throughput; perfSONAR 3.5 RC is planned to be released this week. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393101/ Next meeting will be on 8th of July].<br />
* HTTP deployment: NTR.<br />

'''Tuesday 7th July'''<br />
* Little planned this week as there are open days at RAL.<br />
* We have a small number of worker nodes running a test configuration (these obtain the grid middleware via cvmfs).<br />
* Planning an intervention by the vendor on our faulty router - likely to be an outage of the Tier1 on 4th August (to be confirmed).<br />
* Currently our OPS availablity is hit by the problem of the ARC-CE test that fails.<br />

* GridPP issued a position statement regarding LHCONE. <br />
** ...Concerning LHCONE for both T1 and T2. The high level summary is that the UK is not in favour, as within the UK we have no explicit need for LHCONE for any reason of T1 capacity planning, but to implement it involves additional complexity and possibly cost. The current system works fine and we therefore see no overriding reason to remove T1-T1 transit via LHCOPN. ...The UK is sensitive to the “collective” needs of the community, and as a general statement we would always seek to address any legitimate request agreed by the WLCG MB in order to play our role in meeting international expectations.<br />

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114233 114233] (10/6)<br /><br />
The UK not publishing core counts at all sites. Some progress, but at last check John G couldn't see a change for Oxford or Glasgow. In progress (30/6) ''Update - Glasgow seems to be okay after de-creaming, checking the July list we have t2ce6 at Oxford, ce3 and ce4 at Durham (see their ticket) and cetest02 at IC (but that node has test in its hostname!).''<br />
<br />
'''RALPP'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114442 114442] (18/6)<br /><br />

Ticket tracking (false) availability issues, created to appease COD - the problem caused by a broken CA rpm release for Arc CEs. Kashif has created a counter-ticket [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114742 114742] Gordon's sagely advice is to submit a recalculation request once the issue is fixed.

<br />
'''EDINBURGH'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95303 95303] (1/7/13...)<br /><br />
Tarball glexec ticket, now 2 years old. After a really promising burst the last 6 weeks haven't seen any progress, due to a lot of other "normal" tarball work taking up the time. Sorry! On hold (18/5)<br />
<br />

<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114381 114381] (16/6)<br /><br />
John G ticketed Durham over a small percentage of jobs being published as "zero core". Looks like a SLURM timeout problem, although a fix isn't obvious. Put on the back burner whilst Oliver is on holiday. On Hold (19/6)<br />
<br />
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114649 114649] (26/6)<br /><br />

LHCB ticket concerning the DPM's SRM not returning checksum information. On hold whilst a related ticket is being looked at ([https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111403 111403]). On Hold (22/6)<br />
<br />
'''LIVERPOOL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114248 114248] (10/6)<br /><br />
Another Sno+ ticket, about grid production jobs failing at Liverpool. AIUI caused by Sno+ running out of space on the shared pool. At last check Steve posted the usage information for Sno+ but no word since (and Steve's off on his hols). In progress (17/6)<br />
<br />
'''LANCASTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114845 114845] (6/7)<br /><br />
LHCB pilots failing at Lancaster. Looks like a simple node misconfiguration, hopefully fixed, waiting to see if it is. On hold (6/7)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95299 95299] (1/7/2013)<br /><br />
glexec ticket - see Edinburgh description. On hold (15/5)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=100566 100566] (27/1)<br /><br />
Bad bandwidth performance at Lancaster. Hoping that IPv6 will shake things up a bit so pushing that. On hold (18/5)<br />
<br />
'''UCL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114746 114746] (30/6)<br /><br />
SRM-put failures ROD ticket. No news at all. Assigned (30/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114851 114851] (6/7)<br /><br />
Low availability ROD ticket, related to above. Assigned (6/7)<br />
<br />
'''RHUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114441 114441] (18/6)<br /><br />
Another GridPP pilot role ticket. Pilots rolled out, but something isn't quite right and they're not working - Govind is looking again. In progress (6/7)<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114573 114573] (23/6)<br /><br />
LHCB ticket about two out of three QM CEs not responding for them. Dan spotted the broken CEs were dual-stacked, the working one wasn't. The ticket seemed to have trailed off into some confusion over who needs to do some testing where. I agree with Dan that that who needs to be someone with LHCB credentials! The waters still seem muddied. In progress (1/7)<br />
<br />
'''IC'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114737 114737] (30/6)<br /><br />
The IC voms wasn't updating properly, due to what I infer from the ticket as "SSL/mysql madness". Simon and Robert have been heroically battling this one - it's a good read. On hold (3/7)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114379 114379] (16/6)<br /><br />
Sam's ticket about SE support in Dirac. Sam will shortly try testing things out on the new Dirac to see how it fares. In progress (6/7)<br />
<br />
'''BRUNEL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114447 114447] (18/6)<br /><br />
Brunel's gridpp pilot ticket. Being worked on, with one CE with the pilots enabled. In progress (26/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114006 114006] (31/5)<br /><br />
A ticket from APEL, about Brunel under-reporting the number of jobs they are doing. Turned out to be a problem with Arc, which Raul upgraded to the fixed 5.0 version. The APEL team deleted the sync records, but no word since. In progress (30/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114850 114850] (6/7)<br /><br />
Another APEL ticket, likely the fallout of the previous one - it looks like GAP publishing has been left on for the Brunel CREAM CEs. Assigned (6/7) ''Update - solved''<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114786 114786] (2/7)<br /><br />
Low availability ticket - see RALPP ticket 114442 - probably could do with On holding. In progress (2/7) ''Update - Onholded''<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113910 113910] (26/5)<br /><br />
Sno+ data staging problems. Brian gave some advice on how the large VOs do data staging from tape, and has asked if Sno+ still has problems. Matt M might still be on leave though. Waiting for reply (23/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944] (1/10/14)<br /><br />
CMS AAA problems, which eventually brought to light to a problem with super-hot datasets which were alleviated (I think). Despite an update to castor that improved performance the last batch of tests didn't show improved results. No news since. In progress (17/6)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113836 113836] (20/5)<br /><br />
Glue mismatch problems at RAL. Working on getting "many-Arcs" to correctly publish. In progress (24/6)<br />

'''Tuesday 30th June'''<br />
* Steve's GridPP tests relied on the CERN LFC (ATLAS) which was removed last week. We need to review what tests if any we still want to run in the UK. Do we?<br />
* A new mailing list has been setup for the discussion of batch and CE matters in WLCG: project-lcg-gdb-batch at cern.ch.<br />
* Some have noted that the GOCDB was not sending out downtime notifications. A [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114657&come_from=submit ticket] was raised. <br />
* A preliminary draft of the [https://indico.cern.ch/event/319749/ July GDB agenda] is available.<br />
* In In order to get the broadest input [http://fluidsurveys.com/s/egi-engage-mp-general-survey/ EGI has prepared a survey] (deadline July 7th).<br />
* There was an EGI OMB last week. Please take a look at the [https://indico.cern.ch/event/405285/contribution/2/material/0/0.pdf brief minutes and actions].<br />
* The SAM tests used for ATLAS Availability and Reliability of SEs are going to be changed to new gfal2 DDM-probes from 1st July. The new monitoring is already running at: http://wlcg-sam-atlas-dev.cern.ch/ (the name of the tests are: DDM-srm-Del; DDM-srm-Get and DDM-srm-Put.From 1st July these will move to http://wlcg-sam-atlas.cern.ch/.<br />
* The camont collaboration is no longer active, but the VO is enabled and useful. Previous contributors to the camont work would like to re-purpose the VO to support the Cambridge '[http://www.comprt.org/research/ghost-project Geant Human Oncology Simulation Tool]’. Providing we broadcast any change to sites supporting camont and the AUP changes (and all users re-sign it), is there any objection to this pragmatic solution (it fits well our current aim of getting varied communities using our resources successfully).<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 23rd June'''<br />
* The BDII discussion of last week continued into the WLCG ops coordination meeting (see email thread).<br />
* The IGTF is about to release an update to the trust anchor repository (1.65).<br />
* hone has notified us that they have completed their use of the grid.<br />
* CVMFS space for GridPP VO: /cvmfs/gridpp.gridpp.ac.uk or /cvmfs/gridpp.egi.eu<br />
* supernemo data in Liverpool DPM - can it be removed?<br />
* On July 17 a 4 hour long EGI Federated Cloud tutorial will be organised in London (at SAP near Heathrow). It's a free event, part of a 3-day long software carpentry workshop.<br />
* GridPP35 @ Liverpool in September.<br />

'''Tuesday 30th June'''<br />
* A new WLCG ops portal will be live soon. If you are particularly keen to give feedback please contact Jeremy<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 23rd June'''<br />
* There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last Thursday 18th June: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393609/ Agenda]. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150618Minutes].<br />
* Highlights: Information System discussion started. Use cases and dependencies will be built up and reviewed. May have a pre-GDB on topic.<br />
* All sites should enable multicore accounting<br />
* News: No update.<br />
* Baselines: Removed WMS & L&B. LFC will be removed soon.<br />
* MW issues: New globus-gss api released to mitigate problem reported last time.<br />
* T0&1 services: T0 LHCb and shared LFC will be decommissioned 22nd June. Some dCache upgrades reported.<br />
* T0 news: Efficiency meeting held. Cloud team making I/O changes. LHC exits see some improvement but T0 still behind other sites.<br />
* T1 feeedback: NTR<br />
* T2 feedback: UK response on Information System: Useful for service discovery; minor VO usage; contains too much information; cloud raises new questions; mixed data types; YAIM helpful to fill schemas.<br />
* OSG: Provide InfoSys as service to VOs. Best case deprecation early 2016 but depends on USATLAS.<br />
* InfoSys: HTC > GLUE in OSG. AGIS uses it (ATLAS seek merge of GOCDB, OIM and BDII). LHCb uses for CE discovery. CMS no clear usage. ALICE for SAM and CERN IT C5 reports.<br />
* ALICE: High activity. CASTOR issue with xrd3cp. Request sites to plan for Xrootd v4.1.<br />
* ATLAS: Good data taking. T0 some issues with batch/OpenStack improving. CERN network issue had impacts. CERN to BNL data backlog due to FTS not pushing hard enough.<br />
* CMS: Data taking but technical stops. MC going well. T1 CPU should be 90% production role and 10% pilot. File transfer FNAL-RAL - possible WAITIO on storage nodes due to many CMS jobs.<br />
* LHCb: Run2 offline processing workflows validated. Some issues with old files at RAL without checksums. <br />
* gLEexec: NTR<br />
* RFC proxies: SAM - okay now for ALICE. CMS PhEDEx instances being switched.<br />
* Machine/Job features: NTR<br />
* Middleware readiness: Good work. Credit to ECDF and GRIF for DPM work. New pakiti-client imminent in EPEL stable. MW readiness App now available on a production instance. EL7 support for ARGS urgent. Next meeting 16th September.<br />
* Multicore: Several sites still not publishing. APEL tickets on NGIs. Issues identified for CREAM and ARC MC publishing.<br />
* IPv6: NTR<br />
* Network and transfers WG: PS: proposed mesh for upto 100 sites. Potential bug noted. Next meeting 8th July.<br />
* HTTP: 2nd meeting on 3rd June. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/HTTPTFStorageRecommendations Draft conclusions]. Next meeting 15th July.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 16th June'''<br />
* The next WLCG ops coordination meeting is this Thursday 18th June: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393609/ Agenda]. There will be presentations and discussions on the Information System.<br />
* The next middleware readiness meeting is on Wednesday 17th June @ 3pm BST: [http://indico.cern.ch/event/393222/ Agenda]. <br />

* There were two separate network-related problems on Tuesday afternoon last week. The first was a short (less than ten minute) break in connectivity when a router rebooted. The second, which lasted around 45 minutes, was a period of very high traffic caused by an operational/configuration problem on a hypervisor.<br />
* We have announced an 'at risk' for the next quarterly UPS/generator load test tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.<br />

* MW Readiness WG meeting Wed May 6th at 4pm. Attended by Raul, Matt, Sam and Jeremy.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th March'''<br />
* Daniela has updated the [ https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Staged_rollout_emi3 EMI-3 testing table]. Please check it is correct for your site. We want a clear view of where we are contributing.<br />
* There is a middleware readiness meeting this Wednesday. Would be good if a few site representatives joined.<br />
* Machine job features solution testing. Fed back that we will only commence tests if more documentation made available. This stops the HTC solution until after CHEP. Is there interest in testing other batch systems? Raul mentioned SLURM. There is also SGE and Torque.<br />

'''Tuesday 23rd June'''<br />
* GridPP issued a position statement regarding LHCONE. <br />
** ...Concerning LHCONE for both T1 and T2. The high level summary is that the UK is not in favour, as within the UK we have no explicit need for LHCONE for any reason of T1 capacity planning, but to implement it involves additional complexity and possibly cost. The current system works fine and we therefore see no overriding reason to remove T1-T1 transit via LHCOPN. ...The UK is sensitive to the “collective” needs of the community, and as a general statement we would always seek to address any legitimate request agreed by the WLCG MB in order to play our role in meeting international expectations.<br />

<br />
Looking at the [https://vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=15 '''"Other VO" Nagios''']. <br /><br />
Things look generally alright - but Durham look like they need to update their CA rpms - but that might have to wait until Oliver is back from leave.<br />
<br />
'''Tarballs:'''<br /><br />
I don't think this effects many, but there's was a ticket to produce a new version of the WN tarball (which is done): [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114574 114574]<br ><br />
Although AFAICS there is no urgent need to upgrade tarball WNs.<br />
<br />
26 UK Tickets, although not many stand out.<br />
<br />
'''Gridpp VO Pilot tickets:'''<br /><br />
Largely doing alright. With Oliver away the Durham ticket hasn't been looked at yet. Sheffield and Bristol's tickets could do with an update (or on-holding if there's going to be a delay). The RHUL ticket has been reopened as they're deployment of the pilot roles hasn't quite worked out.<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114573 114573] (23/6)<br /><br />
LHCB having trouble with two out of three QM CEs. Dan notes that the two "broken" CEs have been recently dual-stacked, and asks if this could be the problem. The answers is a resounding "maybe", and Raja asks if problems could be duplicated by others using lxplus. Waiting for reply (24/6)<br />
<br />
'''IMPERIAL/DIRAC'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114379 114379] (16/6)<br /><br />
Sam's ticket trying to get SE support with Dirac...er, spruced up. Daniela has asked if the tests can be redone with the "new" dirac. Waiting for reply (22/6)<br />
<br />
Let me know if I missed any tickets.<br />

*ARC CEs were failing nagios test becuase of non-availability of egi repository. Nagios test compare CA version from EGI repo. It started on 5th June and one of the IP addresses behind webserver was not responding. Problem went away in approximately 3 hours. The same problem started again on 6th June. Finally it was fixed on 8th June. No reason was given in any of the ticket opened regarding this outage. <br />

== Grid Storage ==<br />
<br />
WLCG moves and stores hundreds of petabytes of data - much of it replicas of other data, to ensure high availability and resilience. GridPP provides storage in WLCG via the Tier 1 at RAL and via its Tier 2 sites. The grid storage is based on the so-called "storage elements" (or SEs), which provide a grid interface to quite diverse storage systems. SEs provide ''control'' interfaces like SRM, ''information'' interfaces based on LDAP (more or less), and interfaces for ''data transfer'' and ''data access''. <br />
<br />
GridPP also offers data moving tools, primarily the [http://fts3-service.web.cern.ch/ File Transfer Service]. Some SEs support [http://www.globus.org/ GlobusOnline], with CASTOR (the Tier 1 SE) being an exception.<br />
<br />
=== GridPP Storage and Data Management Group ===<br />
<br />
Or "GridPP storage" for short.<br />
<br />
The GridPP project runs a Storage and Data Management group, a group of which supports running and using the SEs themselves, the data transfer protocols, and improving performance and resilience. And is generally the fount of all knowledge, at least as regards grid storage and its use. Membership is open to all [http://wlcg.web.cern.ch/ WLCG] Tier 2s and others working in grid storage including representatives from the VOs: membership can be requested at [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-STORAGE.html jiscmail]. Archives are public.<br />
<br />
The group runs a weekly audio-conference-technology-du-jour meeting every Wednesday 10.00 London time (and Edinburgh time, and Cardiff time, and Belfast time) for its members and occasional guests. Joinological information is sent to the list but currently uses [https://vidyoportal.cern.ch/ Vidyo] at this [https://vidyoportal.cern.ch/flex.html?roomdirect.html&key=QBhf7AIRnfR7 connection url]. Notes from these meetings can be found [http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/ here]; like the mailing list archives, they are also public. <br />
<br />
Finally, but not least, keep up with our exciting blog: [https://gridpp-storage.blogspot.co.uk/ GridPP Storage Blog] or read all of them in one go on [http://planet.gridpp.ac.uk/ GridPP Planet].<br />
<br />
== Information about data storage and management in GridPP ==<br />
<br />
=== Information for users (or potential users) ===<br />
<br />
Users of GridPP resources tend to be grouped together in collaborations (known as Virtual Organisations, or VOs), with a common research purpose. VOs can range in size from several thousand down to in principle a single person. The [[Main Page]] has more information about "joining the grid" as a [[Main Page#Getting up and running on the grid - new VOs|new VO]] or [[Main Page#Getting up and running on the grid - users|becoming a members of an existing VO]].<br />
<br />
As regards the data storage, sites can often at their discretion allocate resources as long as, say, only a few tens of terabytes are required. Experience has shown, however, that even small VOs can suddenly grow and will need stricter data management, so it is best to plan for growth by requesting - and getting - and using! - a space allocation (identified by a so-called space token.)<br />
<br />
For "small" VOs (by data volume) it is considered best practice to start with data at only one or two sites. By construction, the grid should let you have data "on the grid" and not worry about where it is, but in practice you may be supported by site administrators, particularly in the beginning, and it may be best to start with two sites. (If you are a ''local VO'', i.e. local to a site, that site would of course be your main resource and your main support.)<br />
<br />
=== Information for sites (and prospective sites) ===<br />
<br />
We recommend that you join the storage meeting - see above.<br />
<br />
=== Information for everybody else ===<br />
<br />
Have a look at the technical but still somewhat informative - and certainly colourful - [http://www.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/status/ dashboard for the Tier 1]. Read our sometimes technical but technically excellent blog, the [http://gridpp-storage.blogspot.co.uk/ GridPP storage blog].<br />
<br />
== GridPP expertise ==<br />
<br />
Storage experts in GridPP have a lot of expertise with storage systems: Mostly, of course Grid storage, but also maintaining the underlying storage clusters, distributed filesystems, and data management for science in general.<br />
<br />
=== Technology ===<br />
<br />
There are several key bits of software used within GridPP to provide grid-enabled storage, currently all offer an implementation of the Storage Resource Manager (SRM) protocol, as well as a range of other interfaces. Tier-2 sites offer disk storage using:<br />
<br />
* [[Disk Pool Manager]]<br />
* [[StoRM]]<br />
* [[dCache]]<br />
<br />
and the Tier-1 offers a mixture of disk and tape storage using [[Using_Castor_At_RAL|Castor]].<br />

<div>This page covers both the ''creation'' and ''deployment'' of new VOs. Its target audience is new VO (technical) managers and infrastructure sysadmins and support contacts for VOs.<br />
<br />
== Creating a New VO ==<br />
<br />
A ''Virtual Organisation'' or VO is a group or collaboration with a common purpose. It may be a particular project with funding, it may be a common purpose, or it may be a specific group of people collaborating on a particular task. Typically, a VO will be able to share data with every member in the VO, and they will have resources allocated to them as a VO.<br />
<br />
It is also possible to join an existing VO, of course, if there is one with similar goals: see the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search EGI VO registration portal].<br />
<br />
VOs can be local (supported at a single site), national (supported by several sites but in the same country, e.g. on a national infrastructure), and international. What follows below is generally about international VOs as even regional (local/national) VOs can grow to become international. For regional VOs, some of the information requested below may not be needed.<br />
<br />
===Information needed===<br />
The VO will need to provide some information, partly for practical and security reasons and partly to let system administrators judge what resources the VO will be likely to need. <br />
<br />
* Name of the VO. This should be reasonably short, distinctive, and must not clash with any existing VO. A VO will typically have two names, a short name (usually lower case), say "poohsticks" (an experiment running poohsticks simulations), and a DNS style name, such as vo.poohsticks.org (assuming they own the DNS name poohsticks.org.)<br />
* VO management: a VO manager (who can decide membership of VO, roles and responsibilities), plus usually at least one deputy or co-manager. You will need a mailing list (e.g. poohsticks-management@example.com)<br />
* VO support contacts (see below) - you can choose to register support people with the helpdesks; this is recommended for larger VOs or for VOs that have VO-specific software.<br />
* Security contacts - ideally at least two people who can respond quickly in the event of a security incident relating to a member of the VO, or to the VO as a whole. This also needs to have a mailing list.<br />
* A VOMS server. It manages the VO's memberships and the members' roles and subgroups. If you don't have a VOMS server, you can request to use GridPP's - for this, you will typically need ''authorisation'' from the prinicpal investigator (PI). <br />
** Optionally, roles and/or subgroups of the VO - see Security Considerations below.<br />
* Hardware requirements - memory size, disk space etc, types of storage required (working repositories, archives, databases)<br />
* Software requirements - any software beyond the basic Linux tools/libraries, including things which are part of standard distributions as they may not be installed by default.<br />
* Typical usage pattern - expected job frequency and variation over time, job length, data read and written per job etc.<br />
* General procedures - for example if the site has to request the installation of VO software.<br />
* Size of the VO (i.e how many users), to give a guide to how many pool accounts to create. <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.phenogrid.dur.ac.uk/howto/config Phenogrid] web site for an example of the sort of thing required. You can also have a look at a [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/questionnaire.html questionnaire] which EGEE has used to start discussions with new VOs.<br />
<br />
===Security considerations===<br />
* The VO managers are responsible for setting the aims of the VO: describe which work is in scope and which is not. Users must do only work which is in scope for the VO.<br />
* Some of the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/security/policies/index.html security policy documents] are relevant to VO creation and operation, and the VO administrators need to ensure that they comply with the relevant policies.<br />
* The VO security contacts (via the mailing list) are expected to deal in a timely manner with breaches of policy. An incident may lead to the errant member of the VO being banned from the infrastructure, but if the infrastructure admins/coordinators don't feel the incident is being dealt with appropriately by the VO, the whole VO may get banned.<br />
* If the VO has data security issues, these should be discussed with GridPP during setup of the VO.<br />
** A typical VO will have every file readable by everyone in the VO, but define a ''role'' of users who are allowed to create, update, and delete files.<br />
** Grid middleware does support stronger security models.<br />
<br />
===VO software===<br />
Each VO will typically need some VO-specific services. Some of these are grid-based, such as file catalogues, resource brokers, compute and storage elements. There may be additional software required by the VO, and there will be means of making this available.<br />
<br />
===VO software installation===<br />
There are various models for dealing with the installation of VO-specific software. If only a few dedicated sites are involved the software can be directly installed by the administrators. If the software is relatively compact it can be shipped with the job in the sandbox, or downloaded from a Storage Element or a web site.<br />
<br />
There is also a more general [http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/eis/docs/ExpSwInstall/sw-install.html method to install software] in VO-specific disk space visible from the Worker Nodes.<br />
<br />
===Support procedures===<br />
* VOs should be prepared to support their users at least in the use of VO-specific software.<br />
* More general Grid support will be provided by GridPP as a whole, including community support by users themselves.<br />
* VO support liaison should sign up for a mailing list called [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-SUPPORT.html GRIDPP-SUPPORT].<br />
* It is '''strongly''' recommended to make GridPP technical support contacts members of the VO at least initially, in order to help shoot any trouble that might arise.<br />
<br />
The standard support route for all Grid users is the GGUS portal, as described [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/support.html here]. For regional (e.g. GridPP-specific) VOs the tickets will generally be directed back to the UK Grid helpdesk. There is also a [mailto:GRIDPP-USERS@JISCMAIL.AC.UK GridPP Users] mailing list (see the [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-USERS.html JISCmail] web site for subscription information).<br />
<br />
The [http://egi.eu EGI] [[Virtual Organisation|VO]] Registration Form can be found [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/registrationWelcome here]. It also provides a list of documents you should consult before [[Start Here - Creating a new VO|creating a new VO]].<br />
<br />
The general procedure is sketched out in the section [[Instruction for VO administrators]]. The process is still under development, and anyone wishing to create a new VO should contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team] for further help and information (in particular the Production Manager, Security Officer and VOMS Manager).<br />
<br />
<br />
== VO Deployment ==<br />
<br />
Once a VO is set up, sites should be requested to support it - VOs typically do this via their GridPP support contact(s). At this point the VO should have:<br />
* Acceptable use policies defined<br />
* A VOMS server with VO information<br />
* Mailing lists<br />
* Resources allocated to it - CPU hours, disk storage, tape storage<br />
<br />
Sites will then need to:<br />
* Add the VO to the list of supported VOs (e.g. gridmap files)<br />
* Add the VO to the UIs, if applicable (so users can do voms-proxy-init locally)<br />
* Allocate the resources to the VO, e.g. space tokens, disk pools<br />
<br />
It is recommended that the VO attends the following meetings:<br />
* Tier 1 liaison meeting (if using Tier 1) - VOs should attend regularly<br />

It may be a particular project with funding, it may be a common purpose, or it may be a specific group of people collaborating on a particular task. Typically, a VO will be able to share data with every member in the VO, and they will have resources allocated to them as a VO.<br />
<br />
It is also possible to join an existing VO, of course, if there is one with similar goals: see the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search EGI VO registration portal].<br />
<br />
VOs can be local (supported at a single site), national (supported by several sites but in the same country, e.g. on a national infrastructure), and international. What follows below is general information that you should be aware of if you want to start an international VO as even some local or national VOs can grow to become international. For local/national VOs, some of the information requested below may not be needed.<br />
<br />
===Information needed===<br />
The VO will need to provide some information, partly for practical and security reasons and partly to let system administrators judge what resources the VO will be likely to need. <br />
<br />
* Name of the VO. This should be reasonably short, distinctive, and must not clash with any existing VO. A VO will typically have two names, a short name (usually lower case), say "poohsticks" (an experiment running poohsticks simulations), and a DNS style name, such as vo.poohsticks.org (assuming they own the DNS name poohsticks.org.)<br />
* VO management: a VO manager (who can decide membership of VO, roles and responsibilities), plus usually at least one deputy or co-manager. You will need a mailing list (e.g. poohsticks-management@example.com)<br />
* VO support contacts (see below) - you can choose to register support people with the helpdesks; this is recommended for larger VOs or for VOs that have VO-specific software.<br />
* Security contacts - ideally at least two people who can respond quickly in the event of a security incident relating to a member of the VO, or to the VO as a whole. This also needs to have a mailing list.<br />
* A VOMS server. It manages the VO's memberships and the members' roles and subgroups. If you don't have a VOMS server, you can request to use GridPP's - for this, you will typically need ''authorisation'' from the prinicpal investigator (PI). <br />
* Hardware requirements - memory size, disk space etc, types of storage required (working repositories, archives, databases)<br />
* Software requirements - any software beyond the basic Linux tools/libraries, including things which are part of standard distributions as they may not be installed by default.<br />
* Typical usage pattern - expected job frequency and variation over time, job length, data read and written per job etc.<br />
* General procedures - for example if the site has to request the installation of VO software.<br />
* Size of the VO (i.e how many users), to give a guide to how many pool accounts to create. <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.phenogrid.dur.ac.uk/howto/config Phenogrid] web site for an example of the sort of thing required. You can also have a look at a [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/questionnaire.html questionnaire] which EGEE has used to start discussions with new VOs.<br />
<br />
===Security considerations===<br />
* The VO managers are responsible for setting the aims of the VO: describe which work is in scope and which is not. Users must do only work which is in scope for the VO.<br />
* Some of the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/security/policies/index.html security policy documents] are relevant to VO creation and operation, and the VO administrators need to ensure that they comply with the relevant policies.<br />
* The VO security contacts (via the mailing list) are expected to deal in a timely manner with breaches of policy. An incident may lead to the errant member of the VO being banned from the infrastructure, but if the infrastructure admins/coordinators don't feel the incident is being dealt with appropriately by the VO, the whole VO may get banned.<br />
<br />
===VO software===<br />
Each VO will typically need some VO-specific services. Some of these are grid-based, such as file catalogues, resource brokers, compute and storage elements. There may be additional software required by the VO, and there will be means of making this available.<br />
<br />
===Getting the VO enabled at sites===<br />
Enabling a VO is a relatively easy process, and sites which are directly associated with the VO (including sites in other countries) should be able to do it given the information described above. To get further resources from other GridPP sites, contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team].<br />
<br />
===VO software installation===<br />
There are various models for dealing with the installation of VO-specific software. If only a few dedicated sites are involved the software can be directly installed by the administrators. If the software is relatively compact it can be shipped with the job in the sandbox, or downloaded from a Storage Element or a web site.<br />
<br />
There is also a more general [http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/eis/docs/ExpSwInstall/sw-install.html method to install software] in VO-specific disk space visible from the Worker Nodes.<br />
<br />
===Support procedures===<br />
* VOs should be prepared to support their users at least in the use of VO-specific software.<br />
* More general Grid support will be provided by GridPP as a whole, including community support by users themselves.<br />
* VO support liaison should sign up for a mailing list called [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-SUPPORT.html GRIDPP-SUPPORT].<br />
* It is '''strongly''' recommended to make GridPP technical support contacts members of the VO at least initially, in order to help shoot any trouble that might arise.<br />
<br />
The standard support route for all Grid users is the GGUS portal, as described [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/support.html here]. For regional (e.g. GridPP-specific) VOs the tickets will generally be directed back to the UK Grid helpdesk. There is also a [mailto:GRIDPP-USERS@JISCMAIL.AC.UK GridPP Users] mailing list (see the [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-USERS.html JISCmail] web site for subscription information).<br />
<br />
The [http://egi.eu EGI] [[Virtual Organisation|VO]] Registration Form can be found [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/registrationWelcome here]. It also provides a list of documents you should consult before [[Start Here - Creating a new VO|creating a new VO]].<br />
<br />
The general procedure is sketched out in the section [[Instruction for VO administrators]]. The process is still under development, and anyone wishing to create a new VO should contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team] for further help and information (in particular the Production Manager, Security Officer and VOMS Manager).<br />
<br />
<br />
== VO Deployment ==<br />
<br />
Once a VO is set up, sites should be requested to support it. At this point the VO should have:<br />
* Acceptable use policies defined<br />
* A VOMS server with VO information<br />
* Mailing lists<br />
* Resources allocated to it - CPU hours, disk storage, tape storage<br />
<br />
Sites will then need to:<br />
* Add the VO to the list of supported VOs (e.g. gridmap files)<br />
* Add the VO to the UIs, if applicable (so users can do voms-proxy-init locally)<br />
* Allocate the resources to the VO, e.g. space tokens, disk pools<br />
<br />
It is recommended that the VO attends the following meetings:<br />
* Tier 1 liaison meeting (if using Tier 1) - VOs should attend regularly<br />

<br />
It is also possible to join an existing VO, of course, if there is one with similar goals: see the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search EGI VO registration portal].<br />
<br />
What follows below is general information that you should be aware of if you want to start a VO. There are sort of two different flavours of VOs, a national (or local) one where <br />
<br />
===Information needed===<br />
The VO will need to provide some information, partly for security reasons and partly to let system administrators judge what resources the VO will be likely to need. <br />
<br />
* Name of the VO. This should be reasonably short, distinctive, and must not clash with any existing VO. A VO will typically have two names, a short name (usually lower case), say "poohsticks" (an experiment running poohsticks simulations), and a DNS style name, such as vo.poohsticks.org (assuming they own the DNS name poohsticks.org.)<br />
* VO management: a VO manager (who can decide membership of VO, roles and responsibilities), plus ideally at least one deputy or co-manager. You will need a mailing list (e.g. poohsticks-management@example.com)<br />
* VO support contacts (optional) - you can choose to register <br />
* Security contacts - ideally at least two people who can respond quickly in the event of a security incident relating to a member of the VO, or to the VO as a whole.<br />
* VO/VOMS server, file catalogue etc. end-points (see below).<br />
* Hardware requirements - memory size, disk space etc.<br />

<br />
===Security considerations===<br />
The VO will need to provide administrators who take responsibility for adding users into the VO, checking that they understand their responsibilities, and if necessary removing them from the VO if they abuse the system. VOs should define what constitutes acceptable use for their members (in addition to the general acceptable use policies applicable to all grid users).<br />
<br />
Some of the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/security/policies/index.html security policy documents] are relevant to VO creation and operation, and the VO administrators need to ensure that they comply with the relevant policies.<br />
<br />

Each VO will need some VO-specific services. At a minimum you need a VO/VOMS server to store the list of VO users, but file catalogues, resource brokers and perhaps other services may also be needed. These may be run by the VO itself or, by negotiation, as part of the general GridPP infrastructure. In particular a [https://voms.gridpp.ac.uk:8443/vomses/ GridPP VOMS server] is run by Manchester for the use of the GridPP community; [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html contact] the VOMS manager for more information.<br />
<br />
===Getting the VO enabled at sites===<br />
Enabling a VO is a relatively easy process, and sites which are directly associated with the VO (including sites in other countries) should be able to do it given the information described above. To get further resources from other GridPP sites, contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team].<br />
<br />
===VO software installation===<br />
There are various models for dealing with the installation of VO-specific software. If only a few dedicated sites are involved the software can be directly installed by the administrators. If the software is relatively compact it can be shipped with the job in the sandbox, or downloaded from a Storage Element or a web site.<br />
<br />
There is also a more general [http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/eis/docs/ExpSwInstall/sw-install.html method to install software] in VO-specific disk space visible from the Worker Nodes.<br />
<br />
===Support procedures===<br />
* VOs should be prepared to support their users at least in the use of VO-specific software.<br />
* More general Grid support will be provided by GridPP as a whole, including community support by users themselves.<br />
* VO support liaison should sign up for a mailing list (details to be added)<br />
<br />
The standard support route for all Grid users is the GGUS portal, as described [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/support.html here]. For regional (e.g. GridPP-specific) VOs the tickets will generally be directed back to the UK Grid helpdesk. There is also a [mailto:GRIDPP-USERS@JISCMAIL.AC.UK GridPP Users] mailing list (see the [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-USERS.html JISCmail] web site for subscription information).<br />
<br />
The [http://egi.eu EGI] [[Virtual Organisation|VO]] Registration Form can be found [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/registrationWelcome here]. It also provides a list of documents you should consult before [[Start Here - Creating a new VO|creating a new VO]].<br />
<br />
The general procedure is sketched out in the section [[Instruction for VO administrators]]. The process is still under development, and anyone wishing to create a new VO should contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team] for further help and information (in particular the Production Manager, Security Officer and VOMS Manager).<br />

<hr />
<div>== Creating a New VO ==<br />
<br />
A ''Virtual Organisation'' or VO is a group or collaboration with a common purpose. It may be a particular project with funding, it may be a general purpose<br />
<br />
It is also possible to join an existing VO, of course, if there is one with similar goals: see the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search EGI VO registration portal].<br />
<br />
What follows below is general information that you should be aware of if you want to start a VO. There are sort of two different flavours of VOs, a national (or local) one where <br />
<br />
===Information needed===<br />
The VO will need to provide some information, partly for security reasons and partly to let system administrators judge what resources the VO will be likely to need. <br />
<br />
* Name of the VO. This should be reasonably short, distinctive, and must not clash with any existing VO. A VO will typically have two names, a short name (usually lower case), say "poohsticks" (an experiment running poohsticks simulations), and a DNS style name, such as vo.poohsticks.org (assuming they own the DNS name poohsticks.org.)<br />
* VO management: a VO manager (who can decide membership of VO, roles and responsibilities), plus ideally at least one deputy or co-manager. You will need a mailing list (e.g. poohsticks-management@example.com)<br />
* VO support contacts (optional) - you can choose to register <br />
* Security contacts - ideally at least two people who can respond quickly in the event of a security incident relating to a member of the VO, or to the VO as a whole.<br />
* VO/VOMS server, file catalogue etc. end-points (see below).<br />
* Hardware requirements - memory size, disk space etc.<br />
* Software requirements - any software beyond the basic Linux tools/libraries, including things which are part of standard distributions as they may not be installed by default.<br />
* Typical usage pattern - expected job frequency and variation over time, job length, data read and written per job etc.<br />
* General procedures - for example if the site has to request the installation of VO software.<br />
* Size of the VO (i.e how many users), to give a guide to how many pool accounts to create. <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.phenogrid.dur.ac.uk/howto/config Phenogrid] web site for an example of the sort of thing required. You can also have a look at a [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/questionnaire.html questionnaire] which EGEE has used to start discussions with new VOs.<br />
<br />
===Security considerations===<br />
The VO will need to provide administrators who take responsibility for adding users into the VO, checking that they understand their responsibilities, and if necessary removing them from the VO if they abuse the system. VOs should define what constitutes acceptable use for their members (in addition to the general acceptable use policies applicable to all grid users).<br />
<br />
Some of the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/security/policies/index.html security policy documents] are relevant to VO creation and operation, and the VO administrators need to ensure that they comply with the relevant policies.<br />
<br />
===VO services===<br />
Each VO will need some VO-specific services. At a minimum you need a VO/VOMS server to store the list of VO users, but file catalogues, resource brokers and perhaps other services may also be needed. These may be run by the VO itself or, by negotiation, as part of the general GridPP infrastructure. In particular a [https://voms.gridpp.ac.uk:8443/vomses/ GridPP VOMS server] is run by Manchester for the use of the GridPP community; [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html contact] the VOMS manager for more information.<br />

'''Tuesday 23rd June'''<br />
* There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last Thursday 18th June: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393609/ Agenda]. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150618Minutes].<br />
* Highlights: Information System discussion started. Use cases and dependencies will be built up and reviewed. May have a pre-GDB on topic.<br />
* All sites should enable multicore accounting<br />
* News: No update.<br />
* Baselines: Removed WMS & L&B. LFC will be removed soon.<br />
* MW issues: New globus-gss api released to mitigate problem reported last time.<br />
* T0&1 services: T0 LHCb and shared LFC will be decommissioned 22nd June. Some dCache upgrades reported.<br />
* T0 news: Efficiency meeting held. Cloud team making I/O changes. LHC exits see some improvement but T0 still behind other sites.<br />
* T1 feeedback: NTR<br />
* T2 feedback: UK response on Information System: Useful for service discovery; minor VO usage; contains too much information; cloud raises new questions; mixed data types; YAIM helpful to fill schemas.<br />
* OSG: Provide InfoSys as service to VOs. Best case deprecation early 2016 but depends on USATLAS.<br />
* InfoSys: HTC > GLUE in OSG. AGIS uses it (ATLAS seek merge of GOCDB, OIM and BDII). LHCb uses for CE discovery. CMS no clear usage. ALICE for SAM and CERN IT C5 reports.<br />
* ALICE: High activity. CASTOR issue with xrd3cp. Request sites to plan for Xrootd v4.1.<br />
* ATLAS: Good data taking. T0 some issues with batch/OpenStack improving. CERN network issue had impacts. CERN to BNL data backlog due to FTS not pushing hard enough.<br />
* CMS: Data taking but technical stops. MC going well. T1 CPU should be 90% production role and 10% pilot. File transfer FNAL-RAL - possible WAITIO on storage nodes due to many CMS jobs.<br />
* LHCb: Run2 offline processing workflows validated. Some issues with old files at RAL without checksums. <br />
* gLEexec: NTR<br />
* RFC proxies: SAM - okay now for ALICE. CMS PhEDEx instances being switched.<br />
* Machine/Job features: NTR<br />
* Middleware readiness: Good work. Credit to ECDF and GRIF for DPM work. New pakiti-client imminent in EPEL stable. MW readiness App now available on a production instance. EL7 support for ARGS urgent. Next meeting 16th September.<br />
* Multicore: Several sites still not publishing. APEL tickets on NGIs. Issues identified for CREAM and ARC MC publishing.<br />
* IPv6: NTR<br />
* Network and transfers WG: PS: proposed mesh for upto 100 sites. Potential bug noted. Next meeting 8th July.<br />
* HTTP: 2nd meeting on 3rd June. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/HTTPTFStorageRecommendations Draft conclusions]. Next meeting 15th July.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 16th June'''<br />
* The next WLCG ops coordination meeting is this Thursday 18th June: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393609/ Agenda]. There will be presentations and discussions on the Information System.<br />
* The next middleware readiness meeting is on Wednesday 17th June @ 3pm BST: [http://indico.cern.ch/event/393222/ Agenda]. <br />

* Heard about the Indigo datacloud project, a H2020 project in which STFC is participating<br />
* Data transfers, theory and practice<br />
** Somewhat clunky tools to set up but perform well when they run<br />
** Will continue to work on recommendations/overview document<br />
** Worth having recommendations/experiences for different audiences - (potential) users, decision makers, techies<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 23rd June'''<br />
* Good progress with DiRAC transfers from Durham - data flowing since Monday.<br />
<br />
'''[http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/20150617-minutes.txt Wednesday 17 June]'''<br />
* EU projects - SAGE: HSM for HPC<br />
* Progress on new VOs. Can test as members of 'gridpp' or similar until they get their own allocations.<br />
** We've talked about it before; should VOs have individual T2 allocations to avoid stepping on each other's toes?<br />
** Case for expanding back-up-into-T1 to other VOs?<br />
<br />
'''Wednesday 27 May'''<br />
* Working on troubleshooting DIRAC data for/with LIGO (not to be confused with DiRAC or with any of the other things called DiRAC)<br />
* Working on setting up DiRAC at Tier 1 (not to be confused with DIRAC or Dirac or with any other thing called Dirac)<br />
* New secret user support list!<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 18th May'''<br />
* [http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/ Minutes are available.] <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 21st April'''<br />
* Has there been any Tier-1 contact with DiRAC?<br />
* Proposal to setup an 'other VOs' users list. GridPP-Users is too tied with WLCG projects.<br />
<br />
'''[http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/20150415-minutes.txt Wednesday 15 April]'''<br />
* Backing up data from [http://www.stfc.ac.uk/1263.aspx DiRAC] to GridPP (tape)<br />
* More case studies on supporting non-LHC VOs on GridPP: we have a lot of great stuff that can do great stuff - non-LHC VOs tend to have less regimented data models so maybe we need more case studies.<br />

* Question of where to direct new VOs. [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/registrationWelcome EGI welcome page]?<br />
<br />
* New section in Wiki called "Project Management Pages".<br />
The idea is to cluster all Self-Edited Site Tracking Tables<br />
in here. Sites should keep entries in [[Current Activities]]<br />
up to date. Once a Self-Edited Site Tracking Tables has<br />
served its purpose, PM to move it to [[Historical Archive]] <br />
or otherwise dispose of the table.<br />

* GridPP issued a position statement regarding LHCONE. <br />
** ...Concerning LHCONE for both T1 and T2. The high level summary is that the UK is not in favour, as within the UK we have no explicit need for LHCONE for any reason of T1 capacity planning, but to implement it involves additional complexity and possibly cost. The current system works fine and we therefore see no overriding reason to remove T1-T1 transit via LHCOPN. ...The UK is sensitive to the “collective” needs of the community, and as a general statement we would always seek to address any legitimate request agreed by the WLCG MB in order to play our role in meeting international expectations.<br />

'''Monday 22nd June 2015, 14.00 BST'''<br />
<br />
35 Open UK Tickets this week (!!!)<br />
<br />
'''GridPP Pilot Role'''<br /><br />
A dozen of them are from Daniela (who painstakingly submitted them all) concerning getting the gridpp (and other) pilot role enabled on the site in question's CEs.<br />
<br />
An example of one of these tickets is:<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114440 114440] (Lancaster's smug solved ticket).<br />
<br />
Ticketed sites are: Durham, Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, ECDF (who are also having general gridpp VO support problems), EFDA-JET (looking solved), Oxford, Liverpool, Sheffield, Brunel, RALPP and RHUL. Most tickets are being worked on fine, but the Bristol and Liverpool ones were still just in an "assigned" state at time of writing. <br /><br />
''Update - good progress on this, just one ticket left "assigned". Cambridge are done, as are JET (ticket needs to be closed). Oxford and Manchester are ready for to have their new setups tried out, with Oxford kindly road-testing glexec for the pilot roles. Good stuff.'' <br />
<br />
'''Core Count Publishing'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114233 114233] (10/6)<br /><br />
Of the sites mentioned in this ticket (Durham[1], IC, Liverpool, Glasgow, Oxford) who *hasn't* had a go at changing their core count publishing? I know Oxford have. Daniela had a pertinent question about publishing for VMs, which John answered. In progress (17/6)<br />
<br />
[1] Durham have another ticket on this which may explain their lack of core count publishing: <br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114381 114381] (16/6)<br />
<br />
'''DIRAC'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114379 114379] (16/6)<br /><br />
Sam S formed this ticket over having trouble accessing the majority of SEs over Dirac, after some discussion around this last week. Sam acknowledges that this could be a site problem, not a DIRAC problem, but you gotta start somewhere (he worded that point more eloquently). Daniela has posted her latest and greatest DIRAC setup gubbins for Sam to try out. Another, unrelated, point to have are the names missing from Sam's list - for example I'm pretty sure Lancaster should support gridpp VO storage but I've forgotten to roll it out! Waiting for reply (22/6)<br />
<br />
'''LIVERPOOL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114248 114248] (10/6)<br /><br />
Final ticket today, and another one discussed last week in the storage meeting. Steve's explanation of why (and how) Sno+ would need to start to using space tokens was fantastically well worded in a way to not spook easily startled users. David is digesting the information, but it will likely need to wait for Matt M's return before we'll see progress. In progress (16/6)<br />
<br />
'''MANCHESTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114444 114444](18/6)<br /><br />
I told a pork pie when I said that was the last ticket - this one caught my eye. A ticket from lhcb over files not having their checksums stored on Manchester's DPM. A link was given to another ticket at CBPF for a similar issue which got the DPM devs involved ([https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111403 111403]) - although Andrew McNab was already subscribed to the ticket. In progress (19/6)<br />

'''Tuesday 09 June 2015'''<br />
*ARC CEs were failing nagios test becuase of non-availability of egi repository. Nagios test compare CA version from EGI repo. It started on 5th June and one of the IP addresses behind webserver was not responding. Problem went away in approximately 3 hours. The same problem started again on 6th June. Finally it was fixed on 8th June. No reason was given in any of the ticket opened regarding this outage. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th February'''<br />
* Another period where message brokers were temporarily unavailable seen yesterday. Any news on the last follow-up?<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 27th January'''<br />

** LIGO issue looked like DNS resolution issue. Sam following up this week. Noted DIRAC errors truncated. Suggested trying non-IC disk. Tom reported: CERN@school-enabled disks - QMUL-disk, GLASGOW-disk and LIVERPOOL-disk worked on every network tried with various instances of the GridPP CernVM with the DIRAC UI installed... so issue elsewhere.<br />
** LZ: Andy W: Met Paolo (Edinburgh) from LZ to walk through the basics (in parallel with LZ computing on the Grid being established). AW joined the GridPP VO to assist.<br />
** gridpp-support at jiscmail ac uk created.<br />
* Friday WMS issue?: svr024.gla.scotgrid.ac.uk has been removed from the Nagios configuration. Most CEs quickly returned from 'unknown' state, and others came back to normal in the next round of tests.<br />
* Tier-1problems with secondary database system for Castor - resolved quickly. <br />

* EU projects - SAGE: HSM for HPC<br />
* Progress on new VOs. Can test as members of 'gridpp' or similar until they get their own allocations.<br />
** We've talked about it before; should VOs have individual T2 allocations to avoid stepping on each other's toes?<br />
** Case for expanding back-up-into-T1 to other VOs?<br />

* Backing up data from [http://www.stfc.ac.uk/1263.aspx DiRAC] to GridPP (tape)<br />
* More case studies on supporting non-LHC VOs on GridPP: we have a lot of great stuff that can do great stuff - non-LHC VOs tend to have less regimented data models so maybe we need more case studies.<br />

<br />
'''NGI'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114233 114233] (10/6)<br /><br />
John Gordon ticketed the NGI (as well as others) about some sites in the UK not publishing core counts with their APEL numbers (or more precisely have submission hosts at that site not publishing). Following the link it looks like Imperial, Liverpool, Durham, Glasgow and Oxford are on this list, I've listed the submission hosts reporting "0" core jobs below to help people clear up their rogues! If you've only fixed things in the last fortnight you'd still show up on this list. In progress (15/6) <br />

Sno+ file copying ticket. Matt M is away on his hols, but Dave Auty has took over his duties and reports that this problem seems to have gone away - it can probably be closed. In progress (9/6)<br />
<br />
'''Liverpool'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114248 114248] (10/6)<br /><br />
Another Sno+ ticket here from David concerning job failures. Nothing wrong with the ticket handling, but I thought that David's errors in submitting test jobs are worth documenting, as they were very understandable. David has since asked if the Sno+ job failures are linked to Sno+ nagios test failures at Liverpool. In progress (12/6)<br />
<br />
'''Imperial'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114157 114157] (8/6)<br /><br />
After Simon and Daniela have cleared up the atlas dark data and expanded their Space Tokens using the space freed up there still seems to be some confusion in Rucio, disagreeing with the SRM numbers. In progress (10/6)<br />
<br />
'''Oxford'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114208 114208] (9/6)<br /><br />
Oxford being ticketed for UKI-SOUTHGRID-OX-HEP_IPV6TEST failing connection tests, tests for which Oxford should not be getting ticketed afaacs. I remember this being mentioned in the Thursday cloud meeting, but I'm ashamed to say I wasn't paying attention. Were any conclusions drawn/decisions made? In progress (10/6)<br />
<br />
'''Manchester'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114153 114153] (7/6)<br /><br />
Atlas transfer failures from Manchester. Errors are still occurring as of yesterday, any news? In progress (14/6)<br />

<hr />
<div>The GridPP Project Management Board has agreed that up to 10 % of GridPP's processing capability should be allocated for non-LHC work. VOs that access the Grid like this must become [[Policies_for_GridPP_approved_VOs|Approved VOs]]; policies for managing them are described here: [[Policies_for_GridPP_approved_VOs]].<br />
<br />
The tables below indicate VOs that the GridPP PMB has approved, and the PMB encourages support for these VOs at all of its collaborating sites. Information about all European Grid Initiative (EGI), global and local VOs is given in the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/ Operations portal] which is the main reference source for VO information (including VO manager, end-points, requirements etc.).<br />
<br />
'''Best practise tip: ''' In order to facilitate the support of these VOs at sites, a regularly-updated tarball containing site-info.def.frag file and VO.D directory is available: [http://hep.ph.liv.ac.uk/VomsSnooper/glitecfg.tar glitecfg.tar]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''NOTA BENE'''<br />
<br />
Some sections in this document are automatically updated from the CIC Portal (approximately once a week). Please do not change the tables in the '''VO Yaim Records''' or the '''VO Resource Requirements''' sections.<br />

== Example site-info.def entries ==<br />
<br />
The examples of site-info.def entries for yaim have been moved: [[ExampleSiteinfoDefEntries|Example site-info.def entries]]<br />
<br />
== VO Yaim Records ==<br />
<br />
This section presents the VO records for each approved VO, extracted from the Operations Portal.<br />
<br />
'''Note about SIDs versus VODs:''' <br />
<br />
The following sections detail three important VO variables; <br />
VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMS_SERVERS, VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMSES and VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMS_CA_DN. Sometimes,<br />
additional notes preserved from the original documentation are also given.<br />
<br />
'''Tip about DNS style VO names:''' <br />
<br />
One can represent any VO using VOD records, but some VOs (i.e. DNS style names; those with dots in the name) are <br />
awkward to express in SID format. In the tables below, SID records for such VOs are given but they are <br />
commented out with hash signs. In these cases, it might be best to use VOD format records.<br />
<br />
'''Note about record multiplicity:''' <br />
<br />
Data in the CIC portal for the VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMS_SERVERS, VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMSES and VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMS_CA_DN records<br />
is related by order and multiplicity - they match up. <br />
<br />
When generating the Yaim versions of this data, records for VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMSES and VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMS_CA_DN <br />
must also match in order and multiplicity.<br />
<br />
But it is optional with respect to the VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMS_SERVERS record. According to Maarten Litmaath "for the CERN <br />
servers it actually was deemed desirable that grid-mapfiles be generated using voms.cern.ch only, because <br />
lcg-voms.cern.ch is already running the VOMRS (sic) service as an extra load". <br />
<br />
Thus, in the sections below, VO_<UCVONAME>_VOMS_SERVERS for CERN based VOs are restricted to a single record related to <br />
voms.cern.ch.<br />
<br />
'''NOTA BENE'''<br />
<br />
Please do not change the '''VO Yaim Records''' tables below, as they are automatically updated from the CIC Portal. <br />

|Input I/O requirement is an average 2.5 MB/s per job from MSS.<br />
<br />
All jobs need to have outbound connectivity.<br />
<br />
Sites must not use pool accounts for the FQAN cms:/cms/Role=lcgadmin .<br />
For any other CMS job, sites need to use pool accounts so that at any time every grid credential is mapped to an independent local account.<br />
<br />
<br />
National VOMS groups:<br />
In CMS national VOMS groups, e.g. /cms/becms or /cms/dcms, are used. Those proxies must be "supported" at all sites in the following way:<br />
_ glexec must not fail<br />
_ should be treated like /cms (base group), in case no special treated is wanted by the site<br />
_ proxies with such national groups must be able to write to /store/user/temp (the PFN associated to this LFN)<br />

|Further recommendations from LHCb for sites:<br />
<br />
The amount of memory in the field "Max used physical non-swap X86_64 memory size" of the resources section is understood to be the virtual memory required per single process of a LHCb payload. Usually LHCb payloads consist of one "worker process", consuming the majority of memory, and several wrapper processes. The total amount of virtual memory for all wrapper processes accounts for 1 GB which needs to be added as a requirement to the field "Max used physical non-swap X86_64 memory size" in case the virtual memory of the whole process tree is monitored.<br />
<br />
The amount of space in field "Max size of scratch space used by jobs", shall be interpreted as, 5 GB needed for local software installation, the remaining amount is needed 50 % each for downloaded input files and produced output files. T2 sites only providing Monte Carlo simulation will only need to provide the scratch space of local software installation.<br />
<br />
The CPU limits are understood to be expressed in kSI2k.minutes<br />
<br />
The shared software area shall be provided via CVMFS. LHCb uses the mount point /cvmfs/lhcb.cern.ch on the worker nodes. <br />
<br />
Provisioning of a reasonable number of slots per disk server, proportional to the maximum number of concurrent jobs at the site.<br />
<br />
Advertisement of OS and machine capabilities in the BDII as described in https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/HOWTO05 and https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/HOWTO06 .<br />
<br />
Separation of clusters running different OSes via different CEs.<br />
<br />
Non T1 sites providing CVMFS, direct CREAM submission and the requested amount of local scratch space will be considered as candidates for additional workloads (e.g. data reprocessing campaign).<br />

<div>= DiRAC VO =<br />
<br />
The DiRAC VO supports the [http://www.dirac.ac.uk/ DiRAC] project in two distinct ways:<br />
* It supports the general application area of DiRAC on the grid, i.e. high performance computing for cosmology, astronomy, nuclear physics, etc.<br />
* It supports the collaboration between GridPP and DiRAC projects.<br />
<br />
As DiRAC is itself an e-infrastructure, it does not currently need or use any computational resources on the grid, so the VO currently focuses on the second of these goals. Initially, we focus on moving a couple of petabytes from Durham to RAL; we will later expand to other DiRAC sites. The data is moved with FTS at [[RAL Tier1|RAL]].<br />
<br />
In the past we have discussed other types of interoperation, e.g. submitting jobs across the infrastructures - which might require, say, a SARoNGS type authentication for DiRAC users to access GridPP. Such activities would also be in scope for the VO but are currently on the back burner.<br />

|}<br />
* There have been some severe problems with the CMS Castor instance that are traiggered by particular high loads. The amount of CMS work has been throttled back to mitigate this.<br />
* A memory fault in one of the hypervisors led to a short planned outage of some services on Thursday 4th June (See GocDB entries).<br />
* A problem with the Argus srever affected batch job submissions for a while during the early evening of Friday 5th June. This can be seen in the availabilities of the LHC VOs on that day.<br />
* A central monitoring problem affected the OPS CE tests for many sites over the weekend 5-8 June.<br />

|}<br />
* We are running with a single router connecting the Tier1 network to the site network, rather than a resilient pair.<br />
* Castor xroot performance problems seen by CMS - particularly in very long file open times. The unbalanced data sets (that were appearing as hot files on two specific disk servers) have been redistributed. Other investigations are ongoing although we have not seen the paricular problems of late - possibly the relevant CMS workflow is not running.<br />
* The post mortem review of the network incident on the 8th April is being finalised.<br />
* The intermittent, low-level, load-related packet loss over the OPN to CERN is still being tracked.<br />

|}<br />
* On Thursday 28th May there was an intervention that separated the network routing for some non-Tier1 services away from the Tier1 router pair. This is so we can more easily investigate the router problems.<br />
* Some changes to the FTS3 servers have been made at the request of developers to fix a problem with the fts-bringonline process crashing frequently.<br />
* Various changes have been made to setup the DiRAC VO.<br />
** CASTOR tape pool and service class set up, local gridmap file, tested and working<br />
** Will start testing transfers this week (today?) using "manual" GridFTP<br />
** Local user accounts (UI) still being set up<br />
** Awaiting SRM alias and (then) BDII/CIP info, also setting up LFC and FTS<br />
* The second batch of 2014 CPU purchases has been brought online.<br />

For this 15-minute period all services will be unavailable. The Castor storage system will be stopped at 12:45 UTC before the network break, and restarted once the 15-minute break is over. The declared time window allows time for Castor and other services to be checked out after the network break. The network outage is for a test of a revised network configuration.<br />

* A short (fifteen minute) test needs to take place to confirm we have successfully separated the non-Tier1 traffic off the router pair. This will require a break in connectivity to the Tier1. Once this has been done a longer (few hour) intervention can be scheduled to investigate the router problems.<br />
'''Listing by category:'''<br />
* Databases:<br />
** Switch LFC/3D to new Database Infrastructure.<br />
** Update to Oracle 11.2.0.4. This will affect all services that use Oracle databases: Castor, Atlas Frontier (LFC done)<br />
* Castor:<br />
** Enable disk server rebalancing.<br />
** Update SRMs to new version (includes updating to SL6).<br />
** Update the Oracle databses behind Castor to version 11.2.0.4. Will require some downtimes (See above)<br />
** Update disk servers to SL6.<br />
** Update to Castor version 2.1.15.<br />
* Networking:<br />
** Resolve problems with primary Tier1 Router<br />
** Enable the RIP protocol for updating routing tables on the Tier1 routers. (Install patch to Router software).<br />
** Increase bandwidth of the link from the Tier1 into the RAL internal site network to 40Gbit.<br />
** Make routing changes to allow the removal of the UKLight Router.<br />
** Cabling/switch changes to the network in the UPS room to improve resilience.<br />
* Fabric<br />
** Firmware updates on remaining EMC disk arrays (Castor, FTS/LFC)<br />

'''Tuesday 25th May'''<br />
* VO updates:<br />
** LIGO issue looked like DNS resolution issue. Sam following up this week. Noted DIRAC errors truncated. Suggested trying non-IC disk. Tom reported: CERN@school-enabled disks - QMUL-disk, GLASGOW-disk and LIVERPOOL-disk worked on every network tried with various instances of the GridPP CernVM with the DIRAC UI installed... so issue elsewhere.<br />
** LZ: Andy W: Met Paolo (Edinburgh) from LZ to walk through the basics (in parallel with LZ computing on the Grid being established). AW joined the GridPP VO to assist.<br />
** gridpp-support at jiscmail ac uk created.<br />
* Friday WMS issue?: svr024.gla.scotgrid.ac.uk has been removed from the Nagios configuration. Most CEs quickly returned from 'unknown' state, and others came back to normal in the next round of tests.<br />
* Tier-1problems with secondary database system for Castor - resolved quickly. <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 19th May'''<br />
* There was a GDB last week. The [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/GDBMeetingNotes20150513 summary] is available.<br />

** UKQCD: Jeremy Coles<br />
<br />
* Glexec: Matt is redirecting efforts from coming up with a relocatable glexec tarball, to a recipe that sites could follow. He comments that this would be a lot more involved than he would like for a tarball install, but thinks that it's the only way to proceed with any confidence.<br />
* [http://gstat2.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gstat/summary/ gstat] is not supported. Note this [https://www.ggus.org/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113521 ticket].<br />
* The network issues resolution process/procedure...<br />

'''Tuesday 26th May'''<br />
* [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150521 Minutes of the 21st May WLCG ops coordination meeting are available]. A snapshot of the updates:<br />
* Baselines: New EMI release with Storm 1.11.8. dCache 2.10.28/2.12.8 verified and set as baseline. Torque 2.5.13 added to baselines table.<br />
* MW issues: NTR.<br />
* T0 services: CASTOR updated to 2.1.15. SRM validation ongoing. xroot is the main access protocol.<br />
* T1 services: KIT, IN2P3 and RRC-KI-T1 dCahce upgrades.<br />
* T0 news: LFC to be stopped 22nd June. CMS pilot role mappings changed from static to pool account mapping (for tests and scheduling to work properly).<br />
* T1 feedback: NTR<br />
* T2 feedback: NTR<br />
* ALICE: Normal-high activity. No ops issues.<br />
* ATLAS: >200k running jobs - requires single/multi-core job mix. Final data transfer tests this week. Request T1s to avoid major downtimes until the summer.<br />
* CMS: Started Run2 DIGI-RECO. Several EOS issues. Increased use/dependence on global xrootd re-director at CERN (so criticality impact has increased).<br />
* LHCb: Computing workshop last week. Problems with SARA SRM. <br />
* glexec: NTR<br />
* RFC proxies: SAM-Nagios refresh_proxy probe fixed in UMD-3. Once sites check ok, central services of the experiments will be checked. <br />
* Machine job features: NTR<br />
* MW readiness: dCahce v2.10.28 done. StoRM in progress. Progress on [http://indico.cern.ch/event/392665/contribution/3/material/slides/1.pdf MW Readiness App].<br />
* Multi-core: <br />
** ATLAS goal is 80% production resources MC enabled. Looking to increase job lengths to 10-15hrs for 8-core slots to improve efficiency (also looking at a global fairshare). Sites should give more priority to multi-core over single core jobs. Sites that dynamically cap should adjust their cap to respect the 80% share. <br />
** CMS consolidating deployment to T1s. Looking into multicore pilots inefficiencies. <br />
* IPv6: NTR<br />
* Squid monitoring/HTTP proxy: No news.<br />
* Network & transfer metrics WG: perfSONAR (be aware of logjam vulnerability). Network performance new GGUS SU from 24th June (WLCG network throughput). [https://indico.cern.ch/event/382624/ Next meeting 3rd June]. <br />
* HTTP deployment: [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/HTTPDeployment First meeting took place]. Next: identification of an appropriate monitoring solution and the compilation of a full list of functionality that the experiments would like to see delivered via HTTP.<br />

'''Tuesday 26th May'''<br />
* The problems with our primary network router are still being followed up. Planned intervention this week (Thursday morning) to change routing for some non-Tier1 services. This will ease our ability to make future changes.<br />
* We moved the rack containing our Castor standby databases last Wednesday. There were some problems and Castor was in a 'warning' state in the GOC DB for some time - although in the end the service was not affected.<br />
* Our plans to update to the version of the Oracle database behind Castor are delayed so that we avoid interventions for this cause during at least the first part of LHC Run 2.<br />

'''Wednesday 27 May'''<br />
* Working on troubleshooting DIRAC data for/with LIGO (not to be confused with DiRAC or with any of the other things called DiRAC)<br />
* Working on setting up DiRAC at Tier 1 (not to be confused with DIRAC or Dirac or with any other thing called Dirac)<br />
* New secret user support list!<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 18th May'''<br />
* [http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/ Minutes are available.] <br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 21st April'''<br />
* Has there been any Tier-1 contact with DiRAC?<br />
* Proposal to setup an 'other VOs' users list. GridPP-Users is too tied with WLCG projects.<br />
<br />
'''[http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/20150415-minutes.txt Wednesday 15 April]'''<br />
* Backing up data from [http://www.stfc.ac.uk/1263.aspx DiRAC] to GridPP (tape)<br />
* More case studies on supporting non-LHC VOs on GridPP: we have a lot of great stuff that can do great stuff - non-LHC VOs tend to have less regimented data models so maybe we need more case studies.<br />

<br />
'''Tuesday 28th April'''<br />
* Glasgow: A GLUE2 problem is transient and doesn't have a short-term solution (if the service status was checked a little more frequently it would help). Currently on hold. IC sometimes see this too.<br />
<br />
* UCL: No change to the on-going situation. UCL has hopped from one downtime to another this week. Note – AM visiting UCL this week to setup VAC. Services will be decommissioned after this step.<br />

* MW Readiness WG meeting Wed May 6th at 4pm. Attended by Raul, Matt, Sam and Jeremy.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th March'''<br />
* Daniela has updated the [ https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Staged_rollout_emi3 EMI-3 testing table]. Please check it is correct for your site. We want a clear view of where we are contributing.<br />
* There is a middleware readiness meeting this Wednesday. Would be good if a few site representatives joined.<br />
* Machine job features solution testing. Fed back that we will only commence tests if more documentation made available. This stops the HTC solution until after CHEP. Is there interest in testing other batch systems? Raul mentioned SLURM. There is also SGE and Torque.<br />

<div>== Creating a New VO ==<br />
<br />
The general procedure is sketched out in the section [[Instruction for VO administrators]]. The process is still under development, and anyone wishing to create a new VO should contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team] for further help and information (in particular the Production Manager, Security Officer and VOMS Manager).<br />
<br />
It is also possible to join an existing VO, of course, if there is one with similar goals: see the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search EGI VO registration portal].<br />
<br />
What follows below is general information that you should be aware of if you want to start a VO. There are sort of two different flavours of VOs, a national (or local) one where <br />
<br />
===Information needed===<br />
The VO will need to provide some information, partly for security reasons and partly to let system administrators judge what resources the VO will be likely to need. <br />
<br />
* Name of the VO. This should be reasonably short, distinctive, and must not clash with any existing VO. A VO will typically have two names, a short name (usually lower case), say "poohsticks" (an experiment running poohsticks simulations), and a DNS style name, such as vo.poohsticks.org (assuming they own the DNS name poohsticks.org.)<br />
* VO support contacts - both specific responsible people and various experiment mailing lists.<br />
* Security contacts - ideally at least two people who can respond quickly in the event of a security incident relating to a member of the VO, or to the VO as a whole.<br />
* VO/VOMS server, file catalogue etc. end-points (see below).<br />
* Hardware requirements - memory size, disk space etc.<br />
* Software requirements - any software beyond the basic Linux tools/libraries, including things which are part of standard distributions as they may not be installed by default.<br />
* Typical usage pattern - expected job frequency and variation over time, job length, data read and written per job etc.<br />
* General procedures - for example if the site has to request the installation of VO software.<br />
* Size of the VO (i.e how many users), to give a guide to how many pool accounts to create. <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.phenogrid.dur.ac.uk/howto/config Phenogrid] web site for an example of the sort of thing required. You can also have a look at a [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/questionnaire.html questionnaire] which EGEE has used to start discussions with new VOs.<br />
<br />
===Security considerations===<br />
The VO will need to provide administrators who take responsibility for adding users into the VO, checking that they understand their responsibilities, and if necessary removing them from the VO if they abuse the system. VOs should define what constitutes acceptable use for their members (in addition to the general acceptable use policies applicable to all grid users).<br />
<br />
Some of the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/security/policies/index.html security policy documents] are relevant to VO creation and operation, and the VO administrators need to ensure that they comply with the relevant policies.<br />
<br />
===VO services===<br />
Each VO will need some VO-specific services. At a minimum you need a VO/VOMS server to store the list of VO users, but file catalogues, resource brokers and perhaps other services may also be needed. These may be run by the VO itself or, by negotiation, as part of the general GridPP infrastructure. In particular a [https://voms.gridpp.ac.uk:8443/vomses/ GridPP VOMS server] is run by Manchester for the use of the GridPP community; [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html contact] the VOMS manager for more information.<br />
<br />
===Getting the VO enabled at sites===<br />
Enabling a VO is a relatively easy process, and sites which are directly associated with the VO (including sites in other countries) should be able to do it given the information described above. To get further resources from other GridPP sites, contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team].<br />
<br />
===VO software installation===<br />
There are various models for dealing with the installation of VO-specific software. If only a few dedicated sites are involved the software can be directly installed by the administrators. If the software is relatively compact it can be shipped with the job in the sandbox, or downloaded from a Storage Element or a web site.<br />
<br />
There is also a more general [http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/eis/docs/ExpSwInstall/sw-install.html method to install software] in VO-specific disk space visible from the Worker Nodes.<br />
<br />
===Support procedures===<br />
* VOs should be prepared to support their users at least in the use of VO-specific software.<br />
* More general Grid support will be provided by GridPP as a whole, including community support by users themselves.<br />
* VO support liaison should sign up for a mailing list (details to be added)<br />
<br />
The standard support route for all Grid users is the GGUS portal, as described [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/support.html here]. For regional (e.g. GridPP-specific) VOs the tickets will generally be directed back to the UK Grid helpdesk. There is also a [mailto:GRIDPP-USERS@JISCMAIL.AC.UK GridPP Users] mailing list (see the [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-USERS.html JISCmail] web site for subscription information).<br />

<br />
It is also possible to join an existing VO, of course, if there is one with similar goals: see the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/registrationWelcome EGI VO registration portal], and in particular the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search list of existing VOs] (click the + on the left to see the VO information - a new VO would need to provide the same information.)<br />
<br />
What follows below is general information that you should be aware of if you want to start a VO. <br />
<br />
===Information needed===<br />
The VO will need to provide some information, partly for security reasons and partly to let system administrators judge what resources the VO will be likely to need. Useful information would include:<br />
* VO name. This should be reasonably short, distinctive, and must not clash with any existing VO. A lower-case name is recommended, and generally no more than five or six characters (letters and numbers are allowed in the name, but most other characters are not). There is a recommendation to base VO names on DNS names to avoid name clashes, so that GridPP VOs should have names like xxx.gridpp.ac.uk.<br />
* VO support contacts - both specific responsible people and various experiment mailing lists.<br />
* Security contacts - ideally at least two people who can respond quickly in the event of a security incident relating to a member of the VO, or to the VO as a whole.<br />
* VO/VOMS server, file catalogue etc. end-points (see below).<br />
* Hardware requirements - memory size, disk space etc.<br />
* Software requirements - any software beyond the basic Linux tools/libraries, including things which are part of standard distributions as they may not be installed by default.<br />
* Typical usage pattern - expected job frequency and variation over time, job length, data read and written per job etc.<br />
* Glue schema fields used - this would give an idea of what is really used in the information system and needs to be ensured to be properly set and maintained.<br />
* General procedures - for example if the site has to request the installation of VO software.<br />
* Size of the VO (i.e how many users), to give a guide to how many pool accounts to create. <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.phenogrid.dur.ac.uk/howto/config Phenogrid] web site for an example of the sort of thing required. You can also have a look at a [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/questionnaire.html questionnaire] which EGEE has used to start discussions with new VOs.<br />
<br />
The EGEE operations group has developed a standardised [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/aboutportal/map VO ID card] to provide this kind of information. Most of the entries are well explained.<br />
<br />
===Security considerations===<br />
The VO will need to provide administrators who take responsibility for adding users into the VO, checking that they understand their responsibilities, and if necessary removing them from the VO if they abuse the system. VOs should define what constitutes acceptable use for their members (in addition to the general acceptable use policies applicable to all grid users).<br />

'''Monday 13th April 2015, 14.00 BST'''<br /><br />
24 Open tickets this week - going over all of them this week, site by site.<br />
<br />
''Fresh in this morning - [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113010 113010] and [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113011 113011] - Sno+ tickets concerning the RAL and Glasgow WMSes not updating job statuses.''<br />
<br />
'''RALPP'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111703 111703](11/2)<br /><br />
Atlas glexec hammercloud tests failing. There's been a lot of waiting on atlas to build new HC jobs. The most recent exchange (delayed due to Easter), was asking about SELinux - but no news since the first. In progress (1/4)<br />
<br />
'''BIRMINGHAM'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112875 112875](7/4)<br /><br />
Low availability ROD ticket. Availability is crawling back up, just need it to go green. On hold (13/4)<br />
<br />
'''GLASGOW'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112967 112967](10/4)<br /><br />
Another ROD ticket for bdii errors at Glasgow. Gareth has been doing everything right investigating this. Kashif recommended ticketed the midmon unit, but Gareth has spotted that the errors correspond to high load on their ARC CE - so it might be a site problem after all - Gareth asks for clarification. Waiting for reply (13/4)<br />
<br />
'''EDINBURGH'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95303 95303] (1/7/13)<br /><br />
Tarball glexec ticket. No news (sorry). End of April I believe was the "deadline" I set for having this made. On Hold (9/3)<br />
<br />
'''LANCASTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=100566 100566] (27/1/14)<br /><br />
Lancaster's poor perfsonar performance. I'm not believing quite what I was seeing with the tests I performed so I'm aiming to rerun them. On hold (13/4)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95299 95299] (1/7/13)<br /><br />
Lancaster's tarball glexec ticket. Same as ECDF. On hold (9/3)<br />
<br />
'''BRUNEL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112966 112966] (13/3)<br /><br />
A ROD cream job submit ticket, freshly assigned this afternoon. It's a bit mean of me to bring notice to it. Assigned (13/4) ''And POW, Raul closed this after kicking torque into shape - solved''<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112948 112948] (10/4)<br /><br />
100IT needed to upgrade to the latest CA release. They've done this, but there are still authentication problems. In progress (13/4)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356] (10/9/14)<br /><br />
Deploying vmcatcher at 100IT. After David's questions falling on deaf ears for a while it has been advised that the ticket be closed as this issue will be dealt with elsewhere. Whether or not it is to be "solved" or "unsolved" is open to debate! In progress (can possibly be closed) (13/4)<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944] (1/10/14)<br /><br />
CMS AAA tests failing at RAL. After a lot of work and new xrootd redirectors problems persist. It's looking to be a problem that needs the CASTOR and/or xrootd devs to look at. In progress (30/3)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112713 112713] (27/3)<br /><br />
CMS asking to clean up the "unmerged area". Andrew conjured up a list of files and asked if they could be deleted - CMS responded with a "yes please then close the ticket". Has the deed been done? In progress (31/3)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109694 109694] (28/10/14)<br /><br />
The Sno+ gfal copy ticket. Matt M still sees gfal-copy hang for files at RAL when he uses the GUID (SURL works). A Castor oddity perhaps? Matt asks a question about what problems like this (coupled with the move away from lcg tools) will mean for VOs that rely on the LFC. In progress (31/3)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112977 112977] (10/3)<br /><br />
CMS high job failure rate at RAL. Related to 112896 (below) - the jobs all want that file! In progress (13/3)<br />
<br />
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112896 (9/4)<br /><br />
CMS Dataset access problems - caused by over a million access attempts on a single file over a 18 hour period. Andrew L comments that CMS needs to have a think about how they access pileup datasets. In progress (9/4)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111699 111699] (10/2)<br /><br />
Tier 1 counterpart to 111703. A new HC stress test was submitted near the end of March, but no news on how it did. In progress (23/3)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112866 112866] (7/4)<br /><br />
A different "lots of CMS job failures" ticket. Again a "hot file" seems to be the root cause. In progress (7/4)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112721 112721] (28/3)<br /><br />
An atlas file access ticket, seemingly caused by some odd FTS behaviour. No answers to Shaun's question about this odd occurrence or much noise at all till today. Waiting for reply (13/4)<br />
<br />
'''UCL'''<br /><br />
UCL has 6 tickets - 4 just "assigned". I'll just list them in the interests of brevity.<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112371 112371] (ROD low availiability, On Hold)<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112841 112841] (atlas 0% transfer efficiency, assigned)<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112873 112873] (ROD srm put failures, assigned)<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95298 95298] (glexec ticket, on hold)<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112722 112722] (atlas checksum timeouts, in progress)<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112966 112966] (ROD job submit failures, assigned)<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 31st March'''<br />
* Winnie has an issue in that 'SL5 (works) vs SL6 (not) emi-3 UI'.<br />
* There is a DPM Collaboration Board this Tuesday.<br />
* The GridPP34 agenda is now being created; are there specific topics anyone wishes to put forward?<br />
* NGI-FR report Argus cannot run with the last version of the Java JDK which requires argus-pap-1.6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm only available in EMI not UMB repos. (See tickets [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111505 111505] and [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112606 112606]).<br />
* A look through the [https://indico.cern.ch/event/346931/timetable/#all.detailed HEPiX talks given last week] is recommended.<br />
<br />
* There was an EGI OMB last Thursday 26th March: [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2374 agenda].<br />
** '''Operations'''<br />
** Request to register iRODS endpoints in GOCDB.<br />
** Advisory groups being created for ops and accounting portals.<br />
** Some EGI/NGI ARGUS servers are 'exposed'. Please check. Also NGI Argus service type should be "emi.argus" not "ngi.argus".<br />
** Plans to use ARGO for monitoring of central series<br />
** Updated technology provider UA (please review)<br />
** Reminder of [http://conf2015.egi.eu/programme/index.html EGI conference 18th-22nd May].<br />
** '''Security''': Some FedCloud security packaged defined; OpenSSL Debian patch impacted VOMS API<br />
** Some RODS are re-enabling suspended sites without fixing them! Process change in order.<br />
** Action: Comment on change to make it mandatory for sites to download and run Pakiti on highlighted WNs. ([https://indico.egi.eu/indico/getFile.py/access?contribId=2&resId=0&materialId=slides&confId=2374 see slides])<br />
** '''EGI-Engage update''': started in March. New platforms and business models being explored. See slides for details.<br />
** '''Developing the infrastructure''': includes plans for HPC provisioning, data preservation and a storage federation pilot. Testbed to explore areas such as persistent IDs.<br />
** '''EGI Commons''': Talk explained the new architecture and how core services will evolve. EGI Engage WP3 will meet in Amsterdam 14th-15th Arpil.<br />
** '''Survey of core activities''': In progress till 24th April.<br />
<br />
* The final WLCG T2 A/R figures for February have been uploaded. [https://espace2013.cern.ch/WLCG-document-repository/ReliabilityAvailability/2015/february-15/ Results.]<br />
* [http://www.ngs.ac.uk/ukca/pecr CA PeCR (Perl Certificate Requests) Bulk documentation] now available.<br />
* Some GridPP sites have indicated SL5 nodes may still (if possible) be in use beyond December.<br />
* There was scheduled to be an IGTF release yesterday to update the trust anchor repository (1.63). (See [https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/tests/PMA-PRIVATE-PREVIEW/releases/1.63 change list]).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 17th March'''<br />
* John Gordon mentions that he will report to the WLCG MB this afternoon about multicore accounting. The UK looks good in general, but there are two sites who are still not publishing. UCL (no plan) and Birmingham (following up). A number of others (IC, Glasgow, Liverpool) are publishing for the minority of their CEs. Please change all CEs, not just those queues running multicore.<br />
* Andrew M has created a [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Cloud_%26_VM_status table to track cloud/VM status and plans]. Please check it is up-to-date.<br />
* Looking at [(http://planet.gridpp.ac.uk our blogs] it would be good if everyone reviews if there work/findings might benefit others and if so considers sharing it via blog postings. The latest postings in each blog are: Storage - 9th March 2015 (Storage accounting); NorthGrid - 24th February 2015 (Condor); Tier-1 - 22nd January 2015 (CEPH); SouthGrid - 14th October 2014 (Nagios monitoring non-LHC VOs); LondonGrid - 8th October 2014 (xrootD & ARGUS); ScotGrid - 24th March 2014 (3 coordinators).<br />
* T2 draft reliability & availability figures for February have been circulated: [http://wlcg-sam.cern.ch/reports/2015/201502/wlcg/WLCG_All_Sites_ALICE_Feb2015.pdf ALICE]; [http://wlcg-sam.cern.ch/reports/2015/201502/wlcg/WLCG_All_Sites_ATLAS_Feb2015.pdf ATLAS]; [http://wlcg-sam.cern.ch/reports/2015/201502/wlcg/WLCG_All_Sites_CMS_Feb2015.pdf CMS] and [http://wlcg-sam.cern.ch/reports/2015/201502/wlcg/WLCG_All_Sites_LHCB_Feb2015.pdf LHCb].<br />

* Daniela has updated the [ https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Staged_rollout_emi3 EMI-3 testing table]. Please check it is correct for your site. We want a clear view of where we are contributing.<br />
* There is a middleware readiness meeting this Wednesday. Would be good if a few site representatives joined.<br />
* Machine job features solution testing. Fed back that we will only commence tests if more documentation made available. This stops the HTC solution until after CHEP. Is there interest in testing other batch systems? Raul mentioned SLURM. There is also SGE and Torque.<br />

19 Open tickets this week. <br />
<br />
'''BIRMINGHAM'''<br /><br />
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112550 (23/3)<br /><br />
A ticket fresh off the ROD dashboard - the Birmingham CREAMs aren't being matched ("BrokerHelper: no compatible resources"). Matt W has double checked their setup and can't spot anything wrong - they've been running "normal" atlas/lhcb etc jobs fine over the last few weeks. Any advice appreciated. In progress (23/3)<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112495 (21/3)<br /><br />
MICE problems running jobs at RAL, which Andrew L discovered coincided with WMS problems that he fixed. Probably should be in "Waiting for Reply/Seeing if the problem's evaporated". In progress (23/3)<br />
<br />
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112350 (14/3)<br /><br />
The cause of this Sno+ ticket, about a recent user not being able to access files due to not being in the gridmap, has been discovered. As Robert F sagely pointed out the latest version of the mkgridmap rpm is required to talk to the voms server. Just waiting on the time for it to updated at now. In progress (17/3)<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br /><br />
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 (10/9/14)<br /><br />
This 100IT ticket is still waiting for a reply (since mid-January). The question needs to be answered by someone familiar with the technologies and terminologies? Is anyone up on vmcatcher? Anyone know what other channel to pass David's query onto? Waiting for reply (15/1)<br />

* Status of WNs in CVMFS<br />
* Suggestion to write actions to Vidyo chat window<br />
* Problem with dashboards – following announced GOCDB changes last week.<br />
* cvmfs 2.1.20 is currently being certified at CERN and RAL. A small update to cvmfs-puppet is required to deploy cvmfs 2.1.20 clients.<br />
* A new version of the CA Portal was released last week. It supports email address updates.<br />
* JK requests those with host certificates with embedded email addresses to phase them out.<br />
* CERN accounts: Note WLCG office acting as CERN guarantor for everyone, so by default everyone will be”‘LCG"’d in the database (new HR rules mean Externals automatically take on the organic-unit of the guarantor).<br />
* RAL T1: Dell Force10 Z9000 Firmware update. Was on version 9.2.0.0 running on BIOS 3.0.0.3 and boot code 3.0.1.1. Testing version is 9.6.0.0P3 which runs on the same BIOS but requires boot code 3.0.1.4.<br />
* For LIGO, Rob Quick informs JC that OSG has recently re-engaged with the VO and will update us on their VOMS situation in the next week.<br />
* ARC CONDOR CPU time fix - see Steve Jones's TB-S email on 3rd March. (related to ATLAS submitting some longer running Multi-Core jobs which get killed with the original configuration?)<br />
* A reminder that on Tuesday 10th there is a pre-GDB: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/319819/ agenda]. AM: HEP and other sciences. PM: Cloud issues.<br />

'''Monday 9th March 2015, 15.00 GMT'''<br/ ><br />
From last week's crusty ticket round up:<br />
<br />
'''Tier 1'''<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109694 109694]- 28/10/14<br/ ><br />
Matt M has managed to reclaim his tickets after a certificate change orphaned his old ones. Progress has resumed. Duncan has asked Matt to retry his failing tests with a simple copy to local disk example.<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944]- 1/10/14<br/ ><br />
CMS AAA access at RAL. Andrew posed a question to the CMS xroot experts last week - if you have their details it might be a good idea to involve them in the ticket.<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356]- 10/9/14<br/ ><br />
This VMCatcher ticket is still stuck waiting for a reply. Deafening silence for our 100IT colleagues. <br />
<br />
'''EFDA-JET'''<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=97485 97485] - 21/9/13<br/ ><br />
The Jet LHCB ticket is in the state of being wrapped up. LHCB have been removed from the local configs, and the site has been removed from LHCB's. I believe that this ticket can be terminated.<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110353 110353] - 25/11/14<br/ ><br />
Dan's managed to get webdav working on one SE, but not t'other. Very strange, but Dan is investigating (see also [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111942 111942]).<br />
<br />
No movement on the three glexec tickets (none expected on the two tarball ones in the last week though), the Lancaster perfsonar ticket is still waiting on another batch of local tweaks (and I still need to make sense of what I'm seeing). Matt RB closed Sussex's perfsonar ticket though - nice one.<br />
<br />
'''The "Normal" tickets:'''<br />
<br />
Atlas gLexec Hammercloud failures (RALPP and Tier 1)<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111699 111699] (Tier 1)<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111703 111703] (RALPP)<br/ ><br />
These tests were waiting on a new stable job release being made - this has been delayed (hopefully out tomorrow).<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111856 111856](19/2)<br/ ><br />
This LHCB ticket about stalled jobs looks like it can be closed (LHCB no longer see a problem). ''Update - set to solved, the jobs were being killed for using too much memory.''<br />
<br />
'''OXFORD'''<br/ ><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=112011 112011](25/2)<br/ ><br />
A CMS user saw glexec failures on some nodes - Kashif asked for some more information but there has been no reply. I'd consider giving the user till the end of the week then closing the ticket if there's still no word. Waiting for reply (27/2)<br />

<hr />
<div>== Creating a New VO ==<br />
<br />
The general procedure is sketched out in the section [[Instruction for VO administrators]]. The process is still under development, and anyone wishing to create a new VO should contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team] for further help and information (in particular the Production Manager, Security Officer and VOMS Manager).<br />
<br />
It is also possible to join an existing VO, of course, if there is one with similar goals: see the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/registrationWelcome EGI VO registration portal], and in particular the [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/search list of existing VOs] (click the + on the left to see the VO information - a new VO would need to provide the same information.)<br />
<br />
What follows below is general information that you should be aware of if you want to start a VO. <br />
<br />
===Information needed===<br />
The VO will need to provide some information, partly for security reasons and partly to let system administrators judge what resources the VO will be likely to need. Useful information would include:<br />
* VO name. This should be reasonably short, distinctive, and must not clash with any existing VO. A lower-case name is recommended, and generally no more than five or six characters (letters and numbers are allowed in the name, but most other characters are not). There is a recommendation to base VO names on DNS names to avoid name clashes, so that GridPP VOs should have names like xxx.gridpp.ac.uk.<br />
* VO support contacts - both specific responsible people and various experiment mailing lists.<br />
* Security contacts - ideally at least two people who can respond quickly in the event of a security incident relating to a member of the VO, or to the VO as a whole.<br />
* VO/VOMS server, file catalogue etc. end-points (see below).<br />
* Hardware requirements - memory size, disk space etc.<br />
* Software requirements - any software beyond the basic Linux tools/libraries, including things which are part of standard distributions as they may not be installed by default.<br />
* Typical usage pattern - expected job frequency and variation over time, job length, data read and written per job etc.<br />
* Glue schema fields used - this would give an idea of what is really used in the information system and needs to be ensured to be properly set and maintained.<br />
* General procedures - for example if the site has to request the installation of VO software.<br />
* Size of the VO (i.e how many users), to give a guide to how many pool accounts to create. <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.phenogrid.dur.ac.uk/howto/config Phenogrid] web site for an example of the sort of thing required. You can also have a look at a [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/questionnaire.html questionnaire] which EGEE has used to start discussions with new VOs.<br />
<br />
The EGEE operations group has developed a standardised [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/aboutportal/map VO ID card] to provide this kind of information. Most of the entries are well explained.<br />
<br />
===Security considerations===<br />
The VO will need to provide administrators who take responsibility for adding users into the VO, checking that they understand their responsibilities, and if necessary removing them from the VO if they abuse the system. VOs should define what constitutes acceptable use for their members (in addition to the general acceptable use policies applicable to all grid users).<br />
<br />
Some of the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/security/policies/index.html security policy documents] are relevant to VO creation and operation, and the VO administrators need to ensure that they comply with the relevant policies.<br />
<br />
===VO services===<br />
Each VO will need some VO-specific services. At a minimum you need a VO/VOMS server to store the list of VO users, but file catalogues, resource brokers and perhaps other services may also be needed. These may be run by the VO itself or, by negotiation, as part of the general GridPP infrastructure. In particular a [https://voms.gridpp.ac.uk:8443/vomses/ GridPP VOMS server] is run by Manchester for the use of the GridPP community; [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html contact] the VOMS manager for more information.<br />
<br />
===Getting the VO enabled at sites===<br />
Enabling a VO is a relatively easy process, and sites which are directly associated with the VO (including sites in other countries) should be able to do it given the information described above. To get further resources from other GridPP sites, contact the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/contact.html Deployment Team].<br />
<br />
===VO software installation===<br />
There are various models for dealing with the installation of VO-specific software. If only a few dedicated sites are involved the software can be directly installed by the administrators. If the software is relatively compact it can be shipped with the job in the sandbox, or downloaded from a Storage Element or a web site.<br />
<br />
There is also a more general [http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/eis/docs/ExpSwInstall/sw-install.html method to install software] in VO-specific disk space visible from the Worker Nodes.<br />
<br />
===Support procedures===<br />
To some extent these are still in development. VOs should be prepared to support their users at least in the use of VO-specific software. More general Grid support will be provided by GridPP as a whole, including community support by users themselves.<br />
<br />
The standard support route for all Grid users is the GGUS portal, as described [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/support.html here]. For regional (e.g. GridPP-specific) VOs the tickets will generally be directed back to the UK Grid helpdesk. There is also a [mailto:GRIDPP-USERS@JISCMAIL.AC.UK GridPP Users] mailing list (see the [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/GRIDPP-USERS.html JISCmail] web site for subscription information).<br />

* There was an ops coordination meeting last Thursday. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/368776/ Agenda]. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150205 Minutes].<br />
* News: An updated version of the agenda for the Okinawa workshop will be soon produced.<br />
* MW Baselines: frontier/squid 2.7.STABLE9-22. <br />
* MW Issues: Ghost vulnerability. ARGUS failures with latest Java (disable SSLv3 by default) – workaround in place.<br />
* MW Services: Various upgrades mentioned for T0 and T1s.<br />
* T0 news: Latest VOMS-admin in test. If no issues VOMRS off from 16th Feb. AFS UI closed 2nd Feb.<br />
* T1: NTR<br />
* T2: Asked about CERN accounts for T2 sysadmins. Should be possible!<br />
* ALICE: Busy. ALICE Xrootd transfers to dCache can result in dark data when the destination disk server is very busy and the upload then times out on a checksum calculation. <br />
* ATLAS: NTR - software week.<br />
* CMS: Bigger run 2 MC started. Doing staging/consistency checks. >50% T1 capacity MC –partional slot model so slots will be used either way.<br />
* LHCb: Run-1 legacy stripping almost done. Problems due to SARA disk failure. Some issues CERN simulation jobs. APEL issues 2 sites. VOMS tests.<br />
* Glexec: With panda - 55 sites covered. T1 and biggest T2s. Issue resolved at BNL. Further ramping ATLAS. <br />
* SHA-2: old VOMS retirement – will keep special firewall/router configs until VOMRS gone. VOMS config reminder broadcast soon.<br />
* MJF: Site testing II starting – documentation question.<br />
* MW readiness: Some steady progress (Condor-G; dCache Prometheus; Storm; DPM (xrootd 4 for CMS); EOD and M/W reporter.<br />
* IPv6: Thanks to Duncan a [https://pfomd.grid.iu.edu/WLCGperfSONAR/check_mk/index.py?start_url=%2FWLCGperfSONAR%2Fcheck_mk%2Fview.py%3Fview_name%3Dhostgroup%26hostgroup%3DDUAL-STACK dual-stack PS mesh] is available.<br />
* Squid mon + HTTP proxy discovery TF: Progress. Not all instances squids (154/178) registered so will broadcast again. Generate ATLAS/CMS pages for monitoring. Contributors busy. Additional CVMFS repos now available. Some sites put restriction.<br />
* Net+Transfer metrics WG: Waiting for ATLAS input. Use case [https://indico.cern.ch/event/372546/ discussions on 18th February]. Final deadline for PS 3.4.1 readiness is 16th Febraury - tickets created thereafter. Production [ http://pfomd.grid.iu.edu/ PS monitoring page] available (or is it!?).<br />

'''Monday 9th February'''<br />
<br />
* The agenda for February's EGI ops meeting is [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Agenda-09-02-2015 here].<br />
** Argus PAP update (1.6.2) out imminently. This should fix the SSL problems for sites affected after a java update. Hopefully this will solve Raul's problems in his ticket [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111505 111505].<br />
** Other update notifications include APEL 1.4.0 (with a bunch of new features), Storm 1.11.6, UNICORE v7.2.0 and a new version of Globus in EPEL testing. UMD release 3.11.0 being prepared.<br />
** Multicore republishing was discussed - if sites need to republish multicore data previously parsed as single core then they need to reparse the logs. Any site wanting to republish is asked to submit a ticket to apel support first.<br />
** Operational issues were discussed whereby sites saw problems running ARGUS and CREAM on the same node, special care is taken if you want to take this mad path. See tickets [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111464 111464] and [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111373 111373].<br />
** The decommissioning of the EMI2 APEL service and the UMD repositories was mentioned.<br />
** Sites are advised to avoid using MySQL v.5.0 where possible.<br />
** A comment was passed that the EPEL5 repository was becoming harder to keep up to date, bringing the effective EOL of SL5 closer for the community<br />
*** SL7 is a topic that still needs to be discussed in earnest in this forum.<br />
** Next meeting is March 9th - effort to keep the number of meetings down.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Monday 12th January'''<br />
* There was an EGI ops meeting on [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Agenda-12-01-2015 Monday 12th January]. Minutes to follow.<br />
** STORM 1.11.5<br />
** SR: Another reminder to check your contacts<br />
** Call for sites to test FTS3 and SQUID (Glasgow is testing the new squid)<br />
** Multicore accounting: As per broadcast, sites have been asked to publish number of cores used by jobs but updating apel config where appropriate: instructions given to test publishing in accounting-devel.<br />
** EGI forum in May: slightly delayed because they were waiting for approval to start fine-grained definition of programme. They will circulate the programme soon (end of the month).<br />

At the time of writing the only site showing red that aren't suffering an understood problem was RALPP with org.nordugrid.ARC-CE-submit and SRM-submit test failures for gridpp, pheno, t2k and southgrid for both its CEs and its SE. The failures are between 1 and 12 hours old, so it doesn't seem to be a persistent failure, but it seems to be quite consistent. They all seem to be failing with "Job submission failed... arcsub exited with code 256: ...ERROR: Failed to connect to XXXX(IPv4):443 .... Job submission failed, no more possible targets". Anyone seen something like this before?<br />
<br />
Only 20 Open UK tickets this week.<br />
<br />
'''Biomed tickets:'''<br /><br />

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111357 111357] (Imperial)<br /><br />
Biomed have linked both these tickets as children of 110636, being worked on by the cream blah team. AFAIKS no sign of Cream 1.16.5 just yet.<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111347 111347] (22/1)<br /><br />
CMS consistency checks for January 2015. It looks like everything that was asked of RAL has been done by RAL, so hopefully this can be successfully closed. In progress (3/2)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111120 111120] (12/1)<br /><br />
Another ticket, this time concerning a period of Atlas transfer failures between RAL and BNL, that looks like it can be closed as the failures seem to have stopped (and might well have been at the BNL end). Waiting for reply (22/1)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944] (1/10/14)<br /><br />
CMS AAA test failures at RAL. Federica can't connect to the new xrootd service according to the error messages. No news for a while. In progress (29/1)<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356]<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111333 111333]<br /><br />
Both of these 100IT tickets are looking a bit crusty - the first is waiting for advice, the second was just put "In progress".<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110353 110353] (25/11/14)<br />
Dan has set up se02.esc.qmul.ac.uk to test out the latest https-accessible version of storm for dteam and atlas. As a cherry on top this node is also IPv6 enabled. I'm not sure if Dan wants others in the UK to "give it a go"? In progress (6/2)<br />
<br />
'''LANCASTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=100566 100566] (27/1/14)<br /><br />
(Blatantly scounging for advice) Trying to figure out why Lancaster's perfsonar is under-performing. Ewan kindly gave us access to a iperf endpoint and it's been very useful in characterising some of the weirdness - although I'm still confused. Ewan also gave us a bunch of suggestions for testing that have been useful - next stop, window sizes. If anyone else wants to throw advice to me all wisdom donations are thankfully accepted. My advice for others in be careful trying to connect to the default iperf port on a working DPM pool node.... In Progress (9/2)<br />

* Multi VO nagios maintained at Oxford has been upgraded to add ARC CE tests. <br />
* https://vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk/nagios/<br />
* It is currently monitoring gridpp, pheno, t2k.org, snoplus.snolab.ca, vo.southgrid.ac.uk<br />
* Should we start monitoring it more actively and open ticket for sites failing tests ? <br />

* There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last Thursday ([https://indico.cern.ch/event/359845/ Agenda]:[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150122 Minutes]). In summary:<br />
<br />
*News: 101 sites responded to survey - thank you. There is a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/345619 draft agenda] available for the WLCG workshop in Okinawa. Nicolò Magini (secretary) is moving.<br />
* Baselines: FTS 3.2.31 released; Gridsite (2.2.5) in UMD 3; StoRM 1.11.5/1.11.6 released by the PT. dCache 2.6.x end of support is June 2015 (move to 2.10.x/2.11.x soon).<br />
* Tier-0: The deadline to decommission VOMRS at CERN has moved to 16th February so that issues with the VOMS-Admin replacement can be resolved. The tentative date for AFS-UI decommissioning remains 2nd February.<br />
* Tier-1: NTR<br />
* Tier-2: NTR<br />
* ALICE: High activity except 15th Jan due to cert issue. Large SARA (NLT1) data loss. Offline repo split: AliRoot Core (dependable) vs. AliPhysics (agile). <br />
* ATLAS: Prodsys-2 has been fully validated. Rucio 'fairly' stable. Production has some hiccups. Most prod multicore. SARA: 0.5M files lost. Data lifetime policy now applied. MC15 not yet ready.<br />
* CMS: Moderate load. Some T1 disk full. Doing tape exercises. 50% T1 resources to be multicore enabled. Moving CRAB and central production into a single global Condor pool. Tier-2s will stop receiving pilot jobs with VOMS role production.<br />
* LHCb: Run1 Legacy Stripping almost done. Pre-staging with FTS3 worked well. SARA-MATRIX file loss. HTTP/WEBDAV access unstable. <br />
* [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359845/contribution/4/material/slides/1.pdf WLCG critical services review]: Done for T0. Fully [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGCritSvc updated tables available].<br />
* glexec: Focus still on PanDA integration.<br />
* SHA-2: a new VOMS-Admin version is expected now. VOMRS lives a bit longer.<br />
* Machine/Job features: Still need volunteer sites to deploy machine/job features on their batch / cloud infrastructure.<br />
* MW readiness: [http://indico.cern.ch/event/354284/ Met on 21st Jan]. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/MWReadinessMeetingNotes20150121 Minutes] up. Reasonable participation. The new version of the Package Reporter is ready - need more sites testing it.<br />
* Multicore: CMS focus on T1s. T2s to restart soon (pending factory update).<br />
* IPv6: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/352638/ Meeting last week]. Tier-1s to go dual-stack on their perfSonar instances by April. perfSONAR dashboard showing IPv6 status proposed - IPv6 test to be added to Nagios. <br />
* Squid: NTR<br />
* Network & Transfer metrics: NTR. <br />
* Next meeting 5th February.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 20th January'''<br />
* There is a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359845/ WLCG ops coordination meeting this Thursday]. Minutes will appear [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150122 here]. Are there any T1 or T2 issues we want raised?<br />
* There is also a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/354284/ WLCG middleware readiness meeting on Wednesday] UK time 3pm-4pm (minutes appear [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/MWReadinessMeetingNotes20150121 here]). Note ECDF and QMUL are on the site lists, but more participation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''Thursday 8th January'''<br />
* There was a 'virtual only' [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359843/ ops meeting today]. Please review the information submitted. Andrea uploaded some [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359843/ slides on WLCG critical services]. <br />

[https://vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=15 '''Other VO Nagios Status:''']<br />
<br />
At the time of writing I see:<br /><br />
'''Imperial:''' gridpp VO job submission errors (but only 34 minutes old so probably naught to worry about).<br /><br />
'''Brunel:''' gridpp VO jobs aborted (one of these is 94 days old, so might be something to worry about).<br /><br />
'''Lancaster:''' pheno failures (I can't see what's wrong, but this CE only has 10 days left to live).<br /><br />
'''Sussex:''' snoplus failures (but I think Sussex is in downtime).<br /><br />
'''RALPP:''' A number of failures across a number of CEs, all a few hours old. An SE problem?<br /><br />
'''Sheffield:''' gridpp VO job submission failure, but only 6 hours old.<br />
And of course the srm-$VONAME failures at the Tier 1, which are caused by incompatibility between the tests and Castor AIUI. Things are generally looking good.<br />
<br />
22 Open UK Tickets this week. <br /><br />
'''NGI/100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111333 111333](22/1)<br /><br />
The NGI has been asked to upgrade the cloud accounting probe, and then notify our (only at the moment) cloud site to republish their accounting. Not entirely sure what this entails or who this falls on, I assigned it to NGI-OPERATIONS (and also noticed that 100IT isn't on the "notify site" list - odd). Assigned (22/1)<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944](1/10/14)<br /><br />
CMS AAA test failures. Andrew Lahiff reported last week that the Tier 1 is building a replacement xrootd box which is currently being prepared. If that will take a while can the ticket be put on hold? In progress (19/1)<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110353 110353](25/11/14)<br /><br />
An atlas ticket, asking for httpd access to at QMUL. The QM chaps were waiting on a production ready Storm that could handle this, and are preparing to test one out. This is another ticket that looks like it might need to be put On Hold (will leave that up to you chaps - there's a big difference between "slow and steady" progress and "no progress for a while"). In progress (21/1)<br />
<br />
'''RHUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111355 111355](23/1)<br /><br />
A dteam ticket - concerning http access to RHUL's SE. Although the initial observation about the SE certificate being expired was incorrect (the expiry date was reported as 5/1/15, which to be fair I would read as the 5th of January and not the 1st of May!) there still is some underlying problem here with intermittent test failures. Also this ticket raises the question of under what context are these tests being conducted? Anyone know, or shall we ask the submitter? In progress (26/1)<br />
<br />
'''BIOMED PROBLEMS:'''<br /><br />
'''Manchester:''' [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111356 111356](23/1)<br /><br />
'''Imperial:''' [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111357 111357](23/1)<br /><br />
Biomed are having job problems, looking to be caused by using crusty old WMSes to communicate with these site's shiny up-to-date CEs. According to ticket 110635 a cream side fix should be out by the end of January (CREAM 1.16.5), although Alessandra suggests that Biomed should try to use newer, working WMSes - or Dirac instead!<br />

* There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last Thursday ([https://indico.cern.ch/event/359845/ Agenda]:[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150122 Minutes]). In summary:<br />
<br />
*News: 101 sites responded to survey - thank you. There is a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/345619 draft agenda] available for the WLCG workshop in Okinawa. Nicolò Magini (secretary) is moving.<br />
* Baselines: FTS 3.2.31 released; Gridsite (2.2.5) in UMD 3; StoRM 1.11.5/1.11.6 released by the PT. dCache 2.6.x end of support is June 2015 (move to 2.10.x/2.11.x soon).<br />
* Tier-0: The deadline to decommission VOMRS at CERN has moved to 16th February so that issues with the VOMS-Admin replacement can be resolved. The tentative date for AFS-UI decommissioning remains 2nd February.<br />
* Tier-1: NTR<br />
* Tier-2: NTR<br />
* ALICE: High activity except 15th Jan due to cert issue. Large SARA (NLT1) data loss. Offline repo split: AliRoot Core (dependable) vs. AliPhysics (agile). <br />
* ATLAS: Prodsys-2 has been fully validated. Rucio 'fairly' stable. Production has some hiccups. Most prod multicore. SARA: 0.5M files lost. Data lifetime policy now applied. MC15 not yet ready.<br />
* CMS: Moderate load. Some T1 disk full. Doing tape exercises. 50% T1 resources to be multicore enabled. Moving CRAB and central production into a single global Condor pool. Tier-2s will stop receiving pilot jobs with VOMS role production.<br />
* LHCb: Run1 Legacy Stripping almost done. Pre-staging with FTS3 worked well. SARA-MATRIX file loss. HTTP/WEBDAV access unstable. <br />
* [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359845/contribution/4/material/slides/1.pdf WLCG critical services review]: Done for T0. Fully [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGCritSvc updated tables available].<br />
* glexec: Focus still on PanDA integration.<br />
* SHA-2: a new VOMS-Admin version is expected now. VOMRS lives a bit longer.<br />
* Machine/Job features: Still need volunteer sites to deploy machine/job features on their batch / cloud infrastructure.<br />
* MW readiness: [http://indico.cern.ch/event/354284/ Met on 21st Jan]. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/MWReadinessMeetingNotes20150121 Minutes] up. Reasonable participation. The new version of the Package Reporter is ready - need more sites testing it.<br />
* Multicore: CMS focus on T1s. T2s to restart soon (pending factory update).<br />
* IPv6: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/352638/ Meeting last week]. Tier-1s to go dual-stack on their perfSonar instances by April. perfSONAR dashboard showing IPv6 status proposed - IPv6 test to be added to Nagios. <br />
* Squid: NTR<br />
* Network & Transfer metrics: NTR. <br />
* Next meeting 5th February.<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 20th January'''<br />
* There is a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359845/ WLCG ops coordination meeting this Thursday]. Minutes will appear [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150122 here]. Are there any T1 or T2 issues we want raised?<br />
* There is also a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/354284/ WLCG middleware readiness meeting on Wednesday] UK time 3pm-4pm (minutes appear [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/MWReadinessMeetingNotes20150121 here]). Note ECDF and QMUL are on the site lists, but more participation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''Thursday 8th January'''<br />
* There was a 'virtual only' [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359843/ ops meeting today]. Please review the information submitted. Andrea uploaded some [https://indico.cern.ch/event/359843/ slides on WLCG critical services]. <br />

* Chris Walker is handing over several 'other VO' documents. Some aspects of the role are being taken on by a combination of Duncan and Daniela... but the documents need reviewing in a core-ops meeting (next Thursday @ 11am being likely).<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 4th Nov'''<br />
* New section in Wiki called "Project Management Pages".<br />
The idea is to cluster all Self-Edited Site Tracking Tables<br />
in here. Sites should keep entries in [[Current Activities]]<br />
up to date. Once a Self-Edited Site Tracking Tables has<br />
served its purpose, PM to move it to [[Historical Archive]] <br />
or otherwise dispose of the table.<br />

'''Monday 12th January'''<br />
* There was an EGI ops meeting on [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Agenda-12-01-2015 Monday 12th January]. Minutes to follow.<br />
** STORM 1.11.5<br />
** SR: Another reminder to check your contacts<br />
** Call for sites to test FTS3 and SQUID (Glasgow is testing the new squid)<br />
** Multicore accounting: As per broadcast, sites have been asked to publish number of cores used by jobs but updating apel config where appropriate: instructions given to test publishing in accounting-devel.<br />
** EGI forum in May: slightly delayed because they were waiting for approval to start fine-grained definition of programme. They will circulate the programme soon (end of the month).<br />

[https://vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=15 '''Other VO Nagios Status:''']<br />
<br />
At the time of writing I see:<br /><br />
'''Imperial:''' gridpp VO job submission errors (but only 34 minutes old so probably naught to worry about).<br /><br />
'''Brunel:''' gridpp VO jobs aborted (one of these is 94 days old, so might be something to worry about).<br /><br />
'''Lancaster:''' pheno failures (I can't see what's wrong, but this CE only has 10 days left to live).<br /><br />
'''Sussex:''' snoplus failures (but I think Sussex is in downtime).<br /><br />
'''RALPP:''' A number of failures across a number of CEs, all a few hours old. An SE problem?<br /><br />
'''Sheffield:''' gridpp VO job submission failure, but only 6 hours old.<br />
And of course the srm-$VONAME failures at the Tier 1, which are caused by incompatibility between the tests and Castor AIUI. Things are generally looking good.<br />
<br />
22 Open UK Tickets this week. <br /><br />
'''NGI/100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111333 111333](22/1)<br /><br />
The NGI has been asked to upgrade the cloud accounting probe, and then notify our (only at the moment) cloud site to republish their accounting. Not entirely sure what this entails or who this falls on, I assigned it to NGI-OPERATIONS (and also noticed that 100IT isn't on the "notify site" list - odd). Assigned (22/1)<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944](1/10/14)<br /><br />
CMS AAA test failures. Andrew Lahiff reported last week that the Tier 1 is building a replacement xrootd box which is currently being prepared. If that will take a while can the ticket be put on hold? In progress (19/1)<br />
<br />
'''QMUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110353 110353](25/11/14)<br /><br />
An atlas ticket, asking for httpd access to at QMUL. The QM chaps were waiting on a production ready Storm that could handle this, and are preparing to test one out. This is another ticket that looks like it might need to be put On Hold (will leave that up to you chaps - there's a big difference between "slow and steady" progress and "no progress for a while"). In progress (21/1)<br />
<br />
'''RHUL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111355 111355](23/1)<br /><br />
A dteam ticket - concerning http access to RHUL's SE. Although the initial observation about the SE certificate being expired was incorrect (the expiry date was reported as 5/1/15, which to be fair I would read as the 5th of January and not the 1st of May!) there still is some underlying problem here with intermittent test failures. Also this ticket raises the question of under what context are these tests being conducted? Anyone know, or shall we ask the submitter? In progress (26/1)<br />
<br />
'''BIOMED PROBLEMS:'''<br /><br />
'''Manchester:''' [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111356 111356](23/1)<br /><br />
'''Imperial:''' [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111357 111357](23/1)<br /><br />
Biomed are having job problems, looking to be caused by using crusty old WMSes to communicate with these site's shiny up-to-date CEs. According to ticket 110635 a cream side fix should be out by the end of January (CREAM 1.16.5), although Alessandra suggests that Biomed should try to use newer, working WMSes - or Dirac instead!<br />

'''Tuesday 19th January'''<br />
* Safety testing of electrical circuits in the R89 machine room is underway. This started last week and will continue through to this Thursday 22nd Jan). We have declared an At Risk for the Tier1 site in the GOC DB for this work. Some problems have been encountered but so far no critical services affected.<br />
* The delayed upgrade of the Castor Namservers to SL6 took place successfully yesterday, Monday (19th Jan).<br />
* The problems with our primary network router (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day) are being followed up with the vendor. Some testing of the unit to reproduce the fault is anticipated and will be announced in advance.<br />

23 Open UK Tickets this week.<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944](1/10/14)<br /><br />
CMS seeing AAA test failures at RAL. The tests have been restarted recently and now seem to be having some suspicious looking authentication failures. In Progress (13/1)<br />
<br />
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111162 111162](14/1)<br /><br />
Atlas complaining about httpd doors not working on Sheffield's SE. After schooling the submitter in how to submit more useful information Elena is working on it. I bring this up as in the last few days I've had quite a few of my pool nodes have their httpd daemons crash on them (they're up to date, but still SL5), which may or may not be related. In Progress (19/1)<br />
<br />
'''ECDF'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111118 111118](12/1)<br /><br />
ECDF "low availability" ticket after a few days of argus trouble, which Wahid fixed. Now the ticket will languish for a few weeks as the alarm clears. Daniela has reminded us of her ticket against these fairly silly alarms: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107689 . In the mean time this ticket could do with being put On Hold whilst the alarm clears. In progress (19/1)<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356](10/9/2014)<br /><br />
Setting up VMCatcher at 100IT. After some troubles things seem to have be looking up, although there are still some questions that the 100IT chaps have for the configurations and what they should be using that aren't getting answers. I set the ticket to "Waiting for Reply" hoping that this will help get those in the know's attention. Waiting for reply (15/1)<br />
<br />
'''Perfsonar Tickets'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110389 110389](Sussex)<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110382 110382](TIER 1)<br /><br />

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110365 110365](Bristol)<br /><br />
Everyone seems to have updated their perfsonar hosts, so we're all good on that front, but a number of sites are either having trouble with their reinstalled hosts, or are having problems that they had pre-reinstall still haunt them. I'm afraid I have no suggestions of what to do about the growing number of these tickets though!<br />

== Grid Storage ==<br />
<br />
WLCG moves and stores hundreds of petabytes of data - much of it replicas of other data, to ensure high availability and resilience. GridPP provides storage in WLCG via the Tier 1 at RAL and via its Tier 2 sites. The grid storage is based on the so-called "storage elements" (or SEs), which provide a grid interface to quite diverse storage systems. SEs include ''control'' interfaces like SRM, ''information'' interfaces based on LDAP (more or less), and interfaces for ''data transfer'' and ''data access''. <br />
<br />
The GridPP project runs a Storage and Data Management group, a group of which provides support for the SEs, data transfer protocols, performance and resilience. And interoperation. And is generally the fount of all knowledge, at least as regards grid storage and its use. <br />
<br />
== Information about data storage and management in GridPP ==<br />
<br />
=== Information for users (or potential users) ===<br />
<br />
Users of GridPP resources tend to be grouped together in collaborations (known as Virtual Organisations, or VOs), with a common research purpose. VOs can range in size from several thousand down to in principle a single person. The [[Main Page]] has more information about "joining the grid" as a [[Main Page#Getting up and running on the grid - new VOs|new VO]] or [[Main Page#Getting up and running on the grid - users|new members of VOs]].<br />
<br />
As regards the data storage, sites can often at their discretion allocate resources as long as, say, only a few tens of terabytes are required. Experience has shown, however, that even small VOs can suddenly grow and will need stricter data management, so it is best to plan for growth by requesting - and getting - and using! - a space allocation (identified by a so-called space token.)<br />
<br />
For "small" VOs (by data volume) it is considered best practice to start with data at only one or two sites. By construction, the grid should let you have data "on the grid" and not worry about where it is, but in practice you may be supported by site administrators, particularly in the beginning, and it may be best to start with two sites. (If you are a ''local VO'', i.e. local to a site, that site would of course be your main resource and your main support.)<br />
<br />
=== Information for sites (and prospective sites) ===<br />
<br />
Simple: we have a weekly audio-conference-technology-du-jour meeting at 10.00 London time (and Edinburgh time, and Cardiff time, and Belfast time). If you are a site running storage for GridPP it is very highly recommended to join this meeting. Also, we have a mailing list, gridpp-storage at www.jiscmail.ac.uk. This list is open to ''all Tier 2 sites'' (and in fact has members from about ten different countries) but of course mainly focuses on GridPP. The [http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/ minutes of the meeting] are available.<br />
<br />
Finally, but not leastly, keep up with our exciting technological technology on our blog: [https://gridpp-storage.blogspot.co.uk/ GridPP Storage Blog]<br />
<br />
=== Information for everybody else ===<br />
<br />
Have a look at the technical but still somewhat informative - and certainly colourful - [http://www.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/status/ dashboard for the Tier 1]. Read our technical but technically excellent blog, the [http://gridpp-storage.blogspot.co.uk/ GridPP storage blog].<br />
<br />
== GridPP expertise ==<br />
<br />
Storage experts in GridPP have a lot of expertise with storage systems: Mostly, of course Grid storage, but also maintaining the underlying storage clusters, distributed filesystems, and data management for science in general.<br />
<br />
=== Technology ===<br />
<br />
There are several key bits of software used within GridPP to provide grid-enabled storage, currently all offer an implementation of the Storage Resource Manager (SRM) protocol, as well as a range of other interfaces. Tier-2 sites offer disk storage using:<br />
<br />
* [[Disk Pool Manager]]<br />
* [[StoRM]]<br />
* [[dCache]]<br />
<br />
and the Tier-1 offers a mixture of disk and tape storage using [[Using_Castor_At_RAL|Castor]].<br />
<br />
=== Support ===<br />
To be a member of the support group, you must (should) be a member of the [https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=GRIDPP-STORAGE GridPP storage mailing list], and you must be a participant in [http://lcg.web.cern.ch/LCG/ WLCG], ideally as a Tier 2 site. <br />

'''Tuesday 5th January'''<br />
* On Christmas Eve there was a networking problem that affected the Tier1. The primary of our router pair stopped working. However, the problem was not seen by the secondary router and no automated switchover took place. The primary router was manually restarted - triggering the failover and connectivity was restored. An outage of 70minutes was declared. Following some discussion the active router was flipped back to the primary during the afternoon to leave us in a resilient configuration for the holidays.<br />
* During Christmas Day evening, at around 21:30, the problem recurred. Staff (Martin Bly) attended on site and connectivity was restored at around 01:00 on Boxing Day morning. This time the primary router would not restart. Connectivity has been through the secondary router since this incident with no resilience. The problems with the primary router are being followed up and there may be a hardware fault.<br />
* There is an outage of the Castor GEN instance (Alice and non-LHC VOs) for an upgrade (Castor headnodes to SL6) this morning. There is a 'warning' on the Tier1 Castor tomorrrow (Wednesday 7th) for the Castor "nameserver" component to be likewise updated.<br />
* 10:00 - 11:00 on Wednesday 7th Jan. Quarterly UPS/Generator load test. This is a regular test, but services should be regarded as 'at risk'.<br />
* Safety testing of electrical circuits in the R89 machine room will take place during working hours on the following days:<br />
** Tuesday - Thursday 13-15 January<br />
** Tuesday - Thursday 20-22 January<br />
* During these days room power supplies will be switched off and circuits tested sequentially. As the racks are all powered from two, or more, separate power supplies systems and services should stay up. <br />

* Learning from non-LHC VOs: not just their data problems, but also success stories<br />

''Last Christmas - you sent me a ticket,''<br /><br />
''And the very next day, you escalated it anyway.''<br /><br />
''This year, to save me from tears,''<br /><br />
''I'm going to put them On Hold (on hold).''<br />
<br />
<br />
It's the last ticket update from me for 2014, and as is my Christmas ticket tradition I won't go into too much detail as I suspect people will be winding down this week rather then rolling out changes. Still it would be good if sites take the time to tidy up their tickets before we all go and enjoy our Winter festivities, and any ones that will be left open could sites please make sure to update and put them On Hold if they're not going to be looked at for a few weeks.<br />

* Note Jens's list of sites with certificates at risk of expiring over the hoiday period: RAL; Durham; IC; Sussex and UCL.<br />
* All sites are encouraged to complete the [http://wlcg-survey.web.cern.ch/ WLCG operations survey].<br />
* The top-BDII at Imperial was unavailable for a period on 12th December due to a water leak in the building. This impacted the SAM tests.<br />
* [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/GDBMeetingNotes20141210 Summary notes] from the [http://indico.cern.ch/event/272780/ December GDB] are available. <br />
* A [http://indico.cern.ch/event/272794/ Condor Workshop] (pre-GDB) took place 8th and 9th December. Again there are [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/GDBMeetingNotes20141208 summary notes] available. <br />
* An [http://indico.cern.ch/event/348018/ ARGUS Futures and Support workshop] (post-GDB) was held on 11th December. A [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/GDBMeetingNotes20141211 summary of the meeting] is now online. The overall conclusion was that there is sufficient community effort to maintain ARGUS.<br />
* MJ has circulated a reminder of the [http://indico.cern.ch/e/HSFWorkshop2 HEP S/W workshop] taking place 20th-21st January. It is not just for HEP (e.g. also astro and nuclear physics). There are now general and s/w mailing lists.<br />
* A reminder to register your Squid services in GOCDB (instructions linked below). (We had some interest in being UMD early adopters for Squid - thanks).<br />
<br />
'''Monday 8th December'''<br />
* WLCG Operations Coordination Team requests that all sites now register their Squid services in GOCDB or OIM (broadcast on 4th December). [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGSquidRegistration Instructions] are available.<br />
* This week 8th-9th December there is an [http://indico.cern.ch/event/272794/ HTCondor workshop taking place] - Vidyo is available and most talks are being uploaded. We may have a summary next week.<br />
* There is a [http://indico.cern.ch/event/272780/ GDB this week]. Let Jeremy know if you want issues raised or discussed. <br />
* The [http://wlcg-survey.web.cern.ch WLCG survey] is now in its second week. All GridPP sites are expected to respond as the results will help not just WLCG but GridPP too! As of last week only a small number had responded.<br />
* Steve has noticed an issue with the ops portal VOMS information being slow to change following the change of CERN VOMS endpoints last week.<br />
* [http://wlcg-sam.cern.ch/reports/2014/201411/wlcg/ SAM3 results for November] have been circulated. Re-computations are to be requested before 14th December.<br />
* There is an EGI OMB meeting on 18th December. Are there any UK matters we want raised? Also, we have been asked to share with other NGIs activities taking place in the UK that may be of benefit and interest to the other NGIs - does anyone have suggestions to put forward?<br />
* Are there any outstanding issues with the UK CA certificate reminders/renewals? Is there any uptake of John Kewley's Nagios scripts for checking the cert expiry status?<br />

* There were problems with Tier1 services on Saturday (13th Dec) mainly triggered by a problematic DNS sever.<br />
* There was a transparent update of our Tier1 router firmware at 08:30 this morning.<br />
* There are a number of 'At Risk' periods coming up in the new year:<br />
** At 08:30 on Tuesday 6th Jan. 08:30 a patch to fix the RIP problem will be applied to the firmware in the routers.<br />
** 10:00 - 11:00 on Wednesday 7th Jan. Quarterly UPS/Generator load test. This is a regular test, but services should be regarded as 'at risk'.<br />
** Safety testing of electrical circuits in the R89 machine room will take place during working hours on the following days:<br />
*** Tuesday - Thursday 13-15 January<br />
*** Tuesday - Thursday 20-22 January<br />
** During these days room power supplies will be switched off and circuits tested sequentially. As the racks are all powered from two, or more, separate power supplies systems and services should stay up. <br />

''Last Christmas - you sent me a ticket,''<br /><br />
''And the very next day, you escalated it anyway.''<br /><br />
''This year, to save me from tears,''<br /><br />
''I'm going to put them On Hold (on hold).''<br />
<br />
<br />
It's the last ticket update from me for 2014, and as is my Christmas ticket tradition I won't go into too much detail as I suspect people will be winding down this week rather then rolling out changes. Still it would be good if sites take the time to tidy up their tickets before we all go and enjoy our Winter festivities, and any ones that will be left open could sites please make sure to update and put them On Hold if they're not going to be looked at for a few weeks.<br />

* There were service problems on Saturday 13th December eventually traced to a problematic DNS server.<br />
* Some At Risk periods in tyeh New Year:<br />
** The rollout of the RIP protocol to the Tier1 routers still has to be completed. A software patch from the vendors, which should fix this problem, will be applied to the Tier1 Routers on Tuesday 6th January.<br />
** The next quarterly UPS/Generator load test will take place on Wednesday 7th January.<br />
** Circuit testing of the remaining (i.e. non-UPS) circuits in the machine room: Tue-Thu 13-15 January & Tue-Thu 20-22 January. There are some systms that need to be re-powered in preparation for this work.<br />
* In addition upgrading the Castor Headnodes to SL6 needs to be completed:<br />
** Tuesday 6th Jan - GEN<br />
** Wednesday 7th Jan - Nameserver (transparent - at risk)<br />

'''Monday 8th December'''<br />
* WLCG Operations Coordination Team requests that all sites now register their Squid services in GOCDB or OIM (broadcast on 4th December). [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGSquidRegistration Instructions] are available.<br />
* This week 8th-9th December there is an [http://indico.cern.ch/event/272794/ HTCondor workshop taking place] - Vidyo is available and most talks are being uploaded. We may have a summary next week.<br />
* There is a [http://indico.cern.ch/event/272780/ GDB this week]. Let Jeremy know if you want issues raised or discussed. <br />
* The [http://wlcg-survey.web.cern.ch WLCG survey] is now in its second week. All GridPP sites are expected to respond as the results will help not just WLCG but GridPP too! As of last week only a small number had responded.<br />
* Steve has noticed an issue with the ops portal VOMS information being slow to change following the change of CERN VOMS endpoints last week.<br />
* [http://wlcg-sam.cern.ch/reports/2014/201411/wlcg/ SAM3 results for November] have been circulated. Re-computations are to be requested before 14th December.<br />
* There is an EGI OMB meeting on 18th December. Are there any UK matters we want raised? Also, we have been asked to share with other NGIs activities taking place in the UK that may be of benefit and interest to the other NGIs - does anyone have suggestions to put forward?<br />
* Are there any outstanding issues with the UK CA certificate reminders/renewals? Is there any uptake of John Kewley's Nagios scripts for checking the cert expiry status?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tuesday 2nd December'''<br />
* [http://indico.cern.ch/event/336878/ WLCG Overview Board (OB) met on Friday 28th November]. Ian Bird's [http://indico.cern.ch/event/336878/material/3/?sessionId=1 status report] gives a summary of resource usage, projections and current project directions (data preservation, RUN-2 preparations etc.).<br />
* There is an [https://indico.cern.ch/event/276502/ ATLAS jamboree 3rd-5th December 2014].<br />
* Certificate renewal email reminders were not working 3rd November - 1st December. Nagios may have reminded you... but if not contact John Kewley for the Nagios scripts.<br />
* The old VOMS servers 'voms.cern.ch' and 'lcg-voms.cern.ch' _were?_ switched off for good and replaced by 'voms2.cern.ch' and 'lcg-voms2.cern.ch on Wednesday 26th November at 15:00 CET.<br />

'''Monday 8th December'''<br />
* There was a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/344736/ WLCG ops coordination meeting on 4th December]. Details are available in the [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes141204 meeting minutes], but the quick summary is as follows:<br />
<br />
** Baselines: FTS 3.2.30 baseline.<br />
** M/W issues: DPM 1.8.9 logging fixed. <br />
** T0&T1 services: Various upgrades to dCache 2.10.13<br />
** Oracle: Continued progress on upgrades & migration.<br />
** T0 news: voms2.cern.ch and lcg-voms2.cern.ch in use since 26th November. Still looking at AFS UI statistics (run till 2nd Feb) – still lot of use e.g. from CMS VO boxes. Issues with users editing voms-admin emails (needs to match HR DB).<br />
** T1: NTR<br />
** T2: NTR<br />
** ALICE: High activity. Progressing ARC CE SAM tests.<br />
** ATLAS: NTR – jamboree<br />
** CMS: DIGI-RECO at T1s. Various MC T2s. VOMS migration – smooth, some sites had to update Phedex machines.<br />
** LHCb: Final checks for stripping 21. VOMS migration – users referring to many UI, afs, cvmfs places… some were not ready.<br />
** gLExec: testing campaign for PanDA. <br />
** Machine/Job features: Agreed protocol for virtualized environments. Need all implementations in repository.<br />
** MW readiness: dmlite 0.7.2 on EPEL stable. dCache 2.11.0 verified for ATLAS. New jira dashboard for following progress. WLCG package reporter rebranded as Pakiti v3 (in EPEL).<br />
** Multicore: CMS testing PromptReco multithreaded jobs; tests on CMS T2s awaiting testbed (pilot factory).<br />
** SHA-2: New VOMS – ATLAS 24th, others 26th. AFS UI and CVMFS UI config quickly fixed on 26th. Some PhEDEx’s and LHCb user private scripts needed fix. EGI & WLCG broadcast made on 5th. Some VO cards need updating. <br />
** IPv6: NTR<br />
** Squid & HTTP proxy: Monitoring page (auto-gen from GOCDB) now supports multiple squid services. All sites about to be asked to register.<br />
** Network & transfer metrics: Waiting on experiment use-cases and other inputs. Strawman for early 2015. perfSONAR deadline 8th January.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Monday 1st December'''<br />
* WLCG ops coordination team have launched a [http://wlcg-survey.web.cern.ch/ survey]. Please could all GridPP sites respond to it by 19th December.<br />

* DIRAC: we probably need to understand [http://diracgrid.org/ DIRAC] storage and data management better than "tried the tutorial and got the T shirt" - more next week - but then we need access to DIRAC resources!<br />
* Learning from non-LHC VOs: not just their data problems, but also success stories<br />
* WebDAV getting more widely supported - need to start testing mode widely<br />
* Deletion rates revisited: old target no longer sufficient, needs revisiting<br />
<br />
[http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/20141119-minutes.txt Wedn 19 Nov]<br />
* Logs: chatty DPM 1.8.9, and elasticsearching logs.<br />

The idea is to cluster all Self-Edited Site Tracking Tables<br />

38 Open UK Tickets this week.<br /><br />
A few of the perfsonar upgrade tickets are still open (although most don't seem to be stalled per se, I see that a lot of them are of the form "we didn't quite get time to finish it this week"). We have a number of nagios tickets open - two belonging to Lancaster (our premature DPM upgrade is biting us) - Gareth opened a few of them this morning. I also see a couple of LHCB cvmfs tickets - it looks like the lhcb cvmfs areas might be "clogging up" at sites and are probably worth a preemptive health check.<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109694 109694](28/10)<br /><br />
Matt M's ticket to the Tier 1 concerning not being able to get the gfal commands to work accessing Castor. Duncan has posted to the ticket that things are working for him now, along with the details of his setup. On Hold (4/12)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110397 110397](26/11)<br /><br />
Duncan ticketed the Tier 1 about not being able to access the LFC via webdav. Catalin fixed a few misconfigurations on the LFC, but notes the limitations concerning VOMS proxies and browsers (i.e. they don't work together), and proposes to close the ticket. Waiting for reply (4/12)<br />
<br />
'''LIVERPOOL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110391 110391](26/11)<br /><br />
This "http at Liverpool not quite working" ticket raised some valid points about what Atlas wants/expects from its http access. I think the original problem is "fixed", which leaves this ticket in danger of limbo-ing (like me after a few too many Pina Coladas), sadly there was no atlas cloud meeting last week to bring this up at. In Progress (2/12)<br />
<br />
'''ECDF'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110599 110599](7/12)<br /><br />
ECDF got an atlas transfer ticket, but as Andy correctly pointed out the rest of the UK cloud isn't looking pretty at all on the DDM matrix. Why did poor old Edinburgh get singled out for a ticket? Waiting for reply (8/12)<br />
<br />
That's about it for the tickets that really caught my eye. Feel free to bring up any tickets that you think I should have picked up on in the meeting.<br />

'''Wednesday 26th November 2014'''<br />
* [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2014-11-26 Operations report]<br />
* Some problems on Atlas Castor instance. At various times in the last couple of weeks the Atlas workload has led to differing groups of disk servers spending a lot of time in a "wait i/o" state. This is triggered by the numbers of reads using xroot and has led to some SAM test failures.<br />
* Provisional dates for safety testing of circuits in the machine room is Tues-Thu weeks 13-15 & 20-22 January '15. Services will be 'at risk' during this time.<br />
* Provisional dates announed for upgrades of Castor headnodes to SL6, strating with LHCb next Tuesday (2nd Dec).<br />

'''Tuesday 25th November'''<br />
* There was a WLCG ops meeting last Thursday. The [https://indico.cern.ch/event/341737/ agenda] and [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes141120 minutes] are linked here. Highlights for easier digestion:<br />
<br />
* News: ARGUS future workshop in December. WLCG survey pending web form update.<br />
* Middleware: WLCG repository is now signed.<br />
* Baselines: UMD 3.9.0 - gfal2, BDII, WN and UI updates.<br />
* MW issues: RHEL6.6 kernel fuse bug affecting CVMFS NFS installations. Recommend all sites with this type of installation to not upgrade to SL6.6. gridftp logging too verbose on DPM 1.8.9 - wait to upgrade as also publishes webDAV while EGI ops probes SRM.<br />
* T0 & T1 updates: Some dCache upgrades to 2.10.10. CERN move to FTS v3.2.30.<br />
* Oracle: CERN upgrades ongoing.<br />
* T0 news: myproxy.cern.ch will be upgraded to 6.0-2 on Tuesday, November 25th. VO feedback sought on voms-admin test instance - move in January? voms.cern.ch and lcg-voms.cern.ch to be replaced by voms2.cern.ch and lcg-voms2.cern.ch on Wednesday November 26th.<br />
** VOMRS registration page (https://lcg-voms.cern.ch:8443/vo/{vo-name}/vomrs) will remain in lcg-voms.cern.ch.<br />
* Tier-1 news: NDGF-T1 2 new tape systems are getting deployed (Oslo and Copenhagen).<br />
* Tier-2 news: NTR<br />
* ALICE: High activity. RAL ARC CEs direct submission work in progress.<br />
* ATLAS: ATLAS Central Service status (migration to AI) ongoing. ProdSys2 and Rucio migration timeline agreed - ramping up but stopping the prodys1 so low no of jobs for next ~2weeks.<br />
* CMS: Various tests ongoing (VOMS; data transfer; tape...). Moving CRAB and central production into a single global Condor pool. Reminder of site config requests.<br />
* LHCb: MC and user jobs in the last 2 weeks. Stripping 21 validation revealed a problem and delayed the start of the campaign.<br />
* glexec: in PanDA testing ongoing - some issues.<br />
* Machine/job features: NTR<br />
* Middleware readiness: Following technical discussions between the MW Package Reporter and Pakiti developers and the WLCG and EGI Security responsibles, a technical solution of common agreement was adopted by which each site will be given the option to enable pakiti only, the Package Reporter or both. Thus security concerns are addressed and the site independence is respected. A release along these lines is expected during the 1st quarter 2015.<br />
* Multicore: Passing parameters to batch systems [https://indico.cern.ch/event/272779/session/0/contribution/8/material/slides/0.pdf reviewed at GDB by Alessandra]. Capabilities recorded in [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/BSPassingParameters this table]. A [http://indico.cern.ch/event/336243/contribution/3/material/slides/0.pdf report on accounting given to MB by Alessandra]. See recommendations.<br />
* SHA-2: the old servers can be used until November 26th, 14:00 UTC. The maximum proxy lifetime for the old servers will be as low as 2 days and by then the old VOMS ports will refuse connections.<br />
* IPv6: NTR<br />
* Squid Mon & HTTP proxy discovery: Alistair working on updates.<br />
* Network & transfer metrics: 107 instances updated to 3.4.1 following the WLCG and EGI broadcasts. Starting validation of 3.4.1 instances.<br />
* Next meeting 4th December.<br />

* DIRAC: we probably need to understand [http://diracgrid.org/ DIRAC] storage and data management better than "tried the tutorial and got the T shirt" - more next week - but then we need access to DIRAC resources!<br />
* Learning from non-LHC VOs: not just their data problems, but also success stories<br />
* WebDAV getting more widely supported - need to start testing mode widely<br />
* Deletion rates revisited: old target no longer sufficient, needs revisiting<br />

22 Open UK tickets this week: 11 On Hold, 3 Waiting for Reply, 8 In Progress.<br />
<br />
'''Ticket with No Home'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107880 107880](26/8)<br /><br />
It's that srmcp ticket that has been assigned to QMUL after being assigned to RAL. Chris has suggested that the ticket be assigned to the srmcp devs (if there are any left...). Not a bad suggestion (although I would suggested closing this ticket and opening a fresher one for clarity, as the initial problems are solved AIUI), let's make a decision on this one in the meeting. Waiting for reply (20/11)<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356](10/9)<br /><br />
Much like when I learning to drive around my hilly home town, this vmcatcher ticket seems to keep stalling. Owen has updated with some good information. In progress (13/11) ''Update - David replied to Owen, with positive news.''<br />
<br />
'''BRUNEL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110059 110059](11/11)<br /><br />
This ticket (Brunel's DPM being shut down by spider attacks!) was being kept open for fear of the issue showing up again (as this is the second incarnation of the issue) - however Henry has had a chance to reyaim his DPM this time and all seems alright, so maybe it can be closed? On Hold (17/11) ''Update - Henry closed this ticket.''<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109712 109712](29/10)<br /><br />
CMS glexec error at the tier 1. Andrew L said he'd look into this again after he's back from a well-deserved break, but that was a while ago. Any news? On Hold (10/11)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107935 107935](27/8)<br /><br />
BDII/SRM storage capacity mismatch. At last word Brian had submitted a request to Castor to find out how it reports read-only volumes. Any news? On Hold (3/11)<br />
<br />
(I realise that both these tickets are On Hold and therefore no update should be necessarily expected, but they were both seemed that they might not be held up for long).<br />
<br />
'''MANCHESTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109272 109272](11/10)<br /><br />
Atlas having transfer problems, related to a filesystem loss at Manchester. The files are *still* going through recovery (http://bourricot.cern.ch/dq2/recovery/ - thanks Wahid, I had forgotten about this page). They're very nearly done though, I was going to suggest On Holding this ticket but I doubt it will be worth it now. In progress (18/11)<br />

'''Wednesday 12th November 2014'''<br />
* [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2014-11-12 Operations report]<br />
* Some problems on Atlas Castor instance. At various times in the last couple of weeks the Atlas workload has led to differing groups of disk servers spending a lot of time in a "wait i/o" state. This is triggered by the numbers of reads using xroot and has led to some SAM test failures.<br />
* Provisional dates for safety testing of circuits in the machine room is the week 12-16 January '15. Services will be 'at risk' during this time.<br />

'''Tuesday 25th November'''<br />
* There was a WLCG ops meeting last Thursday. The [https://indico.cern.ch/event/341737/ agenda] and [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes141120 minutes] are linked here. Highlights for easier digestion:<br />
<br />
* News: ARGUS future workshop in December. WLCG survey pending web form update.<br />
* Middleware: WLCG repository is now signed.<br />
* Baselines: UMD 3.9.0 - gfal2, BDII, WN and UI updates.<br />
* MW issues: RHEL6.6 kernel fuse bug affecting CVMFS NFS installations. Recommend all sites with this type of installation to not upgrade to SL6.6. gridftp logging too verbose on DPM 1.8.9 - wait to upgrade as also publishes webDAV while EGI ops probes SRM.<br />
* T0 & T1 updates: Some dCache upgrades to 2.10.10. CERN move to FTS v3.2.30.<br />
* Oracle: CERN upgrades ongoing.<br />
* T0 news: myproxy.cern.ch will be upgraded to 6.0-2 on Tuesday, November 25th. VO feedback sought on voms-admin test instance - move in January? voms.cern.ch and lcg-voms.cern.ch to be replaced by voms2.cern.ch and lcg-voms2.cern.ch on Wednesday November 26th.<br />
** VOMRS registration page (https://lcg-voms.cern.ch:8443/vo/{vo-name}/vomrs) will remain in lcg-voms.cern.ch.<br />
* Tier-1 news: NDGF-T1 2 new tape systems are getting deployed (Oslo and Copenhagen).<br />
* Tier-2 news: NTR<br />
* ALICE: High activity. RAL ARC CEs direct submission work in progress.<br />
* ATLAS: ATLAS Central Service status (migration to AI) ongoing. ProdSys2 and Rucio migration timeline agreed - ramping up but stopping the prodys1 so low no of jobs for next ~2weeks.<br />
* CMS: Various tests ongoing (VOMS; data transfer; tape...). Moving CRAB and central production into a single global Condor pool. Reminder of site config requests.<br />
* LHCb: MC and user jobs in the last 2 weeks. Stripping 21 validation revealed a problem and delayed the start of the campaign.<br />
* glexec: in PanDA testing ongoing - some issues.<br />
* Machine/job features: NTR<br />
* Middleware readiness: Following technical discussions between the MW Package Reporter and Pakiti developers and the WLCG and EGI Security responsibles, a technical solution of common agreement was adopted by which each site will be given the option to enable pakiti only, the Package Reporter or both. Thus security concerns are addressed and the site independence is respected. A release along these lines is expected during the 1st quarter 2015.<br />
* Multicore: Passing parameters to batch systems [https://indico.cern.ch/event/272779/session/0/contribution/8/material/slides/0.pdf reviewed at GDB by Alessandra]. Capabilities recorded in [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/BSPassingParameters this table]. A [http://indico.cern.ch/event/336243/contribution/3/material/slides/0.pdf report on accounting given to MB by Alessandra]. See recommendations.<br />
* SHA-2: the old servers can be used until November 26th, 14:00 UTC. The maximum proxy lifetime for the old servers will be as low as 2 days and by then the old VOMS ports will refuse connections.<br />
* IPv6: NTR<br />
* Squid Mon & HTTP proxy discovery: Alistair working on updates.<br />
* Network & transfer metrics: 107 instances updated to 3.4.1 following the WLCG and EGI broadcasts. Starting validation of 3.4.1 instances.<br />
* Next meeting 4th December.<br />

22 Open UK tickets this week: 11 On Hold, 3 Waiting for Reply, 8 In Progress.<br />
<br />
'''Ticket with No Home'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107880 107880](26/8)<br /><br />
It's that srmcp ticket that has been assigned to QMUL after being assigned to RAL. Chris has suggested that the ticket be assigned to the srmcp devs (if there are any left...). Not a bad suggestion (although I would suggested closing this ticket and opening a fresher one for clarity, as the initial problems are solved AIUI), let's make a decision on this one in the meeting. Waiting for reply (20/11)<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356](10/9)<br /><br />
Much like when I learning to drive around my hilly home town, this vmcatcher ticket seems to keep stalling. Owen has updated with some good information. In progress (13/11) ''Update - David replied to Owen, with positive news.''<br />
<br />
'''BRUNEL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110059 110059](11/11)<br /><br />
This ticket (Brunel's DPM being shut down by spider attacks!) was being kept open for fear of the issue showing up again (as this is the second incarnation of the issue) - however Henry has had a chance to reyaim his DPM this time and all seems alright, so maybe it can be closed? On Hold (17/11) ''Update - Henry closed this ticket.''<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109712 109712](29/10)<br /><br />
CMS glexec error at the tier 1. Andrew L said he'd look into this again after he's back from a well-deserved break, but that was a while ago. Any news? On Hold (10/11)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107935 107935](27/8)<br /><br />
BDII/SRM storage capacity mismatch. At last word Brian had submitted a request to Castor to find out how it reports read-only volumes. Any news? On Hold (3/11)<br />
<br />
(I realise that both these tickets are On Hold and therefore no update should be necessarily expected, but they were both seemed that they might not be held up for long).<br />
<br />
'''MANCHESTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109272 109272](11/10)<br /><br />
Atlas having transfer problems, related to a filesystem loss at Manchester. The files are *still* going through recovery (http://bourricot.cern.ch/dq2/recovery/ - thanks Wahid, I had forgotten about this page). They're very nearly done though, I was going to suggest On Holding this ticket but I doubt it will be worth it now. In progress (18/11)<br />

'''Tuesday 25th November'''<br />
* There was a WLCG ops meeting last Thursday. The [https://indico.cern.ch/event/341737/ agenda] and [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes141120 minutes] are linked here. Highlights for easier digestion:<br />
<br />
* News: ARGUS future workshop in December. WLCG survey pending web form update.<br />
* Middleware: WLCG repository is now signed.<br />
* Baselines: UMD 3.9.0 - gfal2, BDII, WN and UI updates.<br />
* MW issues: RHEL6.6 kernel fuse bug affecting CVMFS NFS installations. Recommend all sites with this type of installation to not upgrade to SL6.6. gridftp logging too verbose on DPM 1.8.9 - wait to upgrade as also publishes webDAV while EGI ops probes SRM.<br />
* T0 & T1 updates: Some dCache upgrades to 2.10.10. CERN move to FTS v3.2.30.<br />
* Oracle: CERN upgrades ongoing.<br />
* T0 news: myproxy.cern.ch will be upgraded to 6.0-2 on Tuesday, November 25th. VO feedback sought on voms-admin test instance - move in January? voms.cern.ch and lcg-voms.cern.ch to be replaced by voms2.cern.ch and lcg-voms2.cern.ch on Wednesday November 26th.<br />
** VOMRS registration page (https://lcg-voms.cern.ch:8443/vo/{vo-name}/vomrs) will remain in lcg-voms.cern.ch.<br />
* Tier-1 news: NDGF-T1 2 new tape systems are getting deployed (Oslo and Copenhagen).<br />
* Tier-2 news: NTR<br />
* ALICE: High activity. RAL ARC CEs direct submission work in progress.<br />
* ATLAS: ATLAS Central Service status (migration to AI) ongoing. ProdSys2 and Rucio migration timeline agreed - ramping up but stopping the prodys1 so low no of jobs for next ~2weeks.<br />
* CMS: Various tests ongoing (VOMS; data transfer; tape...). Moving CRAB and central production into a single global Condor pool. Reminder of site config requests.<br />
* LHCb: MC and user jobs in the last 2 weeks. Stripping 21 validation revealed a problem and delayed the start of the campaign.<br />
* glexec: in PanDA testing ongoing - some issues.<br />
* Machine/job features: NTR<br />
* Middleware readiness: Following technical discussions between the MW Package Reporter and Pakiti developers and the WLCG and EGI Security responsibles, a technical solution of common agreement was adopted by which each site will be given the option to enable pakiti only, the Package Reporter or both. Thus security concerns are addressed and the site independence is respected. A release along these lines is expected during the 1st quarter 2015.<br />
* Multicore: Passing parameters to batch systems [https://indico.cern.ch/event/272779/session/0/contribution/8/material/slides/0.pdf reviewed at GDB by Alessandra]. Capabilities recorded in [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/BSPassingParameters this table]. A [http://indico.cern.ch/event/336243/contribution/3/material/slides/0.pdf report on accounting given to MB by Alessandra]. See recommendations.<br />
* SHA-2: the old servers can be used until November 26th, 14:00 UTC. The maximum proxy lifetime for the old servers will be as low as 2 days and by then the old VOMS ports will refuse connections.<br />
* IPv6: NTR<br />
* Squid Mon & HTTP proxy discovery: Alistair working on updates.<br />
* Network & transfer metrics: 107 instances updated to 3.4.1 following the WLCG and EGI broadcasts. Starting validation of 3.4.1 instances.<br />
* Next meeting 4th December.<br />

22 Open UK tickets this week: 11 On Hold, 3 Waiting for Reply, 8 In Progress.<br />
<br />
'''Ticket with No Home'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107880 107880](26/8)<br /><br />
It's that srmcp ticket that has been assigned to QMUL after being assigned to RAL. Chris has suggested that the ticket be assigned to the srmcp devs (if there are any left...). Not a bad suggestion (although I would suggested closing this ticket and opening a fresher one for clarity, as the initial problems are solved AIUI), let's make a decision on this one in the meeting. Waiting for reply (20/11)<br />
<br />
'''100IT'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356](10/9)<br /><br />
Much like when I learning to drive around my hilly home town, this vmcatcher ticket seems to keep stalling. Owen has updated with some good information. In progress (13/11) ''Update - David replied to Owen, with positive news.''<br />
<br />
'''BRUNEL'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110059 110059](11/11)<br /><br />
This ticket (Brunel's DPM being shut down by spider attacks!) was being kept open for fear of the issue showing up again (as this is the second incarnation of the issue) - however Henry has had a chance to reyaim his DPM this time and all seems alright, so maybe it can be closed? On Hold (17/11) ''Update - Henry closed this ticket.''<br />
<br />
'''TIER 1'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109712 109712](29/10)<br /><br />
CMS glexec error at the tier 1. Andrew L said he'd look into this again after he's back from a well-deserved break, but that was a while ago. Any news? On Hold (10/11)<br />
<br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107935 107935](27/8)<br /><br />
BDII/SRM storage capacity mismatch. At last word Brian had submitted a request to Castor to find out how it reports read-only volumes. Any news? On Hold (3/11)<br />
<br />
(I realise that both these tickets are On Hold and therefore no update should be necessarily expected, but they were both seemed that they might not be held up for long).<br />
<br />
'''MANCHESTER'''<br /><br />
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109272 109272](11/10)<br /><br />
Atlas having transfer problems, related to a filesystem loss at Manchester. The files are *still* going through recovery (http://bourricot.cern.ch/dq2/recovery/ - thanks Wahid, I had forgotten about this page). They're very nearly done though, I was going to suggest On Holding this ticket but I doubt it will be worth it now. In progress (18/11)<br />
