Tuesday 12th February
- DPM release - 1.11
- Approved VOs: changes to BIOMED and ENMR
- Simon: VAC with VM condor VM to support local batch jobs?
- There is a GDB this week - agenda.
- NGI Argus/Central Banning config (see DC message).
- There was a WLCG ops meeting yesterday. Minutes are available.
- HOW19 registration (early bird rate has ended). HSF-OSG-WLCG joint workshop.
- A/R explanations for January: QMUL power outage; Bham now on EOS so SE tests fail; ECDF 80% LHCb??
Tuesday 5th February
- The EGI RP/RC A/R Report for January 2019 is available. UKI overall fine. Bham and RAL-LCG2 may wish to examine their results.
- A reminder.... Please could everyone think about their WLCG (and beyond) engagements and commitments and put anything of note in the wiki table here.
- Notes from yesterday's WLCG ops meeting are available. Issues at RAL noted by LHCb.
- It is CMS week this week.
- In case missed here is Elena's ATLAS update:
- https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=138033: singularity jobs failing at RAL. A job that Alessandra submitted still has a problem with the home directory. Ral is trying to fix it.
- There was a power lost to a rack and the two storage nodes in it in Lancaster over weekend which cause a problem to ATLAS jobs. This was fixed on Monday.
- Raul asked for srmless atlas transfers for Brunel. Elena is changing transfer configuration in AGIS but the jobs are still failing. Peter will look into this.
- There was a discussion on lightweight ATLAS Grid sites @ADC weekly last week. Sheffield, Cambridge, Brunel, Durham, Bham and Sussex should become diskless sites.
- There is an ongoing discussion about LSST jobs on GridPP resources that may be of wider interest. Their VOMS was down so the question was raised about using GridPP VOMS or setting up another VOMS in the UK to read its data from the SLAC instance.
- The 9th DIRAC Users Workshop will be held in London 14. - 17. May 2019. Here is the registration link.
- December's WLCG A/R final report is available at via this link.
- The figures for January 2019 are now available and updates from 3 sites requested:
- Simon G asks: VAC with VM condor VM to support local batch jobs? Has anyone done it??
- EGI has started an HTCondor integration process and captures progress here: https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139377.
- End of Support for CREAM-CE: The CREAM working group has announced that official support for the CREAM-CE component will cease at the end of the EOSC-hub project, i.e. in Dec 2020. The CREAM working group will be providing full support until the end of 2019, including one minor release already scheduled. During 2020 only security updates will be released.

| Tier-1 - Status Page
|
19th March 2019 Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (18/03/2019) is here.
- Very quiet at Tier-1 until Friday afternoon, then the Security Challenge started...!
- With reference to the current Security Challenge, at time of reporting, RAL-LCG2 have not yet found any evidence of the DN successfully running batch work or accessing our storage. We do see the incoming batch jobs and we are investigating why these seem not to have run. As yet we have not found any access to the IPs listed in the initial communication.
- Tier-1 did not a problem on our site Argus server on Saturday around 13:20UTC when the Argus PAP server stopped. It was restarted after a callout. At present we do not believe this is related to the challenge.
