'''Monday 20th March'''
 
* The only update relates to a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/617334/ discussion of the WLCG workshop agenda] that took place last week.
 
  
'''Monday 6th March'''
 
* There was an ops coordination meeting on Thursday 2nd March - [https://indico.cern.ch/event/615987/ agenda] | [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes170302 Minutes].
 
* The overview talks were: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/615987/contributions/2485932/subcontributions/220874/attachments/1421101/2177829/mid-sla.pdf Mid-SLAs] | [https://indico.cern.ch/event/615987/contributions/2485932/subcontributions/220875/attachments/1421195/2177994/20170302-mcnab-mjf.pdf Machine Job Features].
 
* The main summary items:
 
** Lessons learned from ATLAS tape usage tests. Follow up via FTS steering group. Will share experience with other experiments.
 
** "Mid SLA" resources. During the next months accumulate experience at CERN (providing such resources) and in experiments (using such resources). Review accumulated experience after a couple of months and decide what we need to do in terms of tagging, accounting, etc...
 
** MJF deployment is not as successful as desired. Find help (at least temporary) for deployment campaign concentrating on the LHCb sites. See whether this task would become more important considering outcome of the benchmarking discussion.
 
** In order to avoid inconsistencies in the naming of the service types along the WLCG IS chain (GocDB, OIM, SAM, experiment-specific systems like Dirac), there will be agreement between representatives from OSG, EGI and GocDB team and IS evolution task force on the policy for introducing of the new service types.
 
** The next WLCG ops coordination meeting will be on 6th April.

'''17 June 2019''' Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (17/06/2019) is [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2019-06-17 here].
* Castor SRM updates to version 2.1.16: The LHCb SRMs were successfully updated last Thursday (23rd March). This including upgrading the OS on the systems to SL6. A problem was encountered with the upgrade of the Atlas SRMs on the 28th - with the upgrade being completed the next day. As only two of the four Atlas SRMs were upgraded at first the impact on Atlas was reduced. Since the upgrades, we have had problems with the LHCb SRMs. The remaining SRM upgrades which were scheduled for Thursday (30th) have been postponed until we understand and fix the LHCb problems.
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* Ongoing work to replace two (of the four) chillers supplying the A/C for the R89 machine room. The first chiller has been replaced. The second was lifted into position on Thursday (30th) and it is being commissioned.
+
* Ongoing tests ongoing with some batch jobs for the LHC VOs running in SL6 containers on worker nodes running SL7.
+
* New capacity hardware has been delivered (both CPU and storage). This is now in the racks being cabled up.
+
* We have updating our web server. From Wednesday (29th March) www.gridpp.rl.ac.uk points to a new location. References to the old server (lcgwww.gridpp.rl.ac.uk) will no longer work.
+
* Out of Hours cover for the CEPH ECHO service is being piloted.

 +
* Three certificates were revoked mistakenly on ARGUS on Thursday.  All SAM tests failed until this was fixed the next morning.  Batch farm also did not start any new jobs during this time.  We used this accidental draining to reboot nodes that needed to pick up security patching.
 +
* LHCb Castor instance has been completely disabled for LHCb and will be decommissioned.
 +
* Brian Davies has transferred from his role as GridPP Tier-2 Storage Support Officer and has joined the Tier-1 Production Team.  Although this has happened with immediate effect he will still be available for ad-hoc/informal storage support.

+
** ...and the v1.0 release of the LaTeX code used to compile it is [http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.222755 here].

**  There are some minor differences (mainly hyperlink-related) to the online version [1], which has also had a v1.0 release [http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.222756 here].

 +
Changes to Approved for DUNE (and LZ)
  
''' Tue 22nd Nov '''
+
There is a new "Approved VOs" document showing new settings for DUNE. And, since both LZ's voms servers now show up in the EGI Portal, I've removed the (now spurious) entry for voms.hep.wisc.edu that was formerly being inserted by hand.
  
* More on Accounting audit tools
+
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
  
The process for ARC, Toque and VAC is now documented here.
+
I've also created a new set of RPMs (each has all LSC, VOMS, and XML for one VO) for all approved VOs. See Approved VOs doc for details, version is 1.9.
 +
 
 +
Sites with DUNE services need to update using whatever method they employ.
 +
 
 +
Special note: Since voms1.fnal.gov changed yesterday, I've updated documentation for that right away. But voms2.fnal.gov remains as it is until 23rd April (3 weeks). I'll update documentation for that when it is closer. Staggering the updates like this gives a time margin, so any particular site can have at least one service properly configured at any time.  But it does mean that two site updates are needed; one now, and one in three weeks. However, since it's sufficient for only one (of the two) voms servers to be configured properly, sites could save effort and wait until (say) 19th April, then update both at once. But I can't dictate what site admins should do. It's your call.

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=125503 125503] (9/12/16)<br />
 
Sno+ ticket about file access problems due to a wrong SE name in the LFC. Any word on this too? I think a plan was put in place. In progress (30/1)
 
 
'''RALPP'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126902 126902] (2/3)<br />
 
CMS ticket, I got a bit lost trying to follow it but a moot point as CMS indicate it can be closed. In progress (3/4)
 
 
'''BRISTOL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126864 126864] (28/2)<br />

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126865 126865] (28/2)<br />
 
A CMS ticket from Daniela, concerning ipv6 transfer failures to/from Bristol. Things were looking better, although there is an outstanding question that Winnie highlighted about the CERN setup that perhaps Duncan or someone could answer? In progress (31/3)
 
 
'''BIRMINGHAM'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127319 127319] (27/3)<br />
 
A low-availability ticket. Whilst these are boring it needs to be tended (i.e. put In Progress or On Hold). Assigned (27/3) ''In progress - Mark cites a misbehaving DHCP server causing hassle.''
 
 
'''GLASGOW'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124052 124052] (25/9)<br />
 
LHCB ticket concerning incorrect job publishing, to be fixed in the next generation of ARC CEs deployed at Glasgow. Sadly the time has come for another update, even if it's a totally dry one. On Hold (31/1)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127160 127160] (16/3)<br />
 
An availability ticket. Nothing more to say then that. On hold (16/3)
 
 
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127210 127210] (19/3)<br />
 
Atlas transfer timeout failures. After coming out of downtime failures persist. Perhaps a similar problem to what we saw at Lancaster last week? As per the post to the storage list those issues were apparently soothed by increasing the DPM threads. In progress (3/4)
 
 
'''MANCHESTER'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127464 127464] (3/4)<br />

LSST authorisation failure ticket. Alessandra has tracked down hopefully all the config errors that crept in during the move from svn to git. Hopefully this is nearly sorted. In progress (31/3)
 
 
'''LIVERPOOL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124819 124819] (3/11/16)<br />
 
AFS ticket. After the firewall ports were opened the submitter provided some feedback, but no news back from the site. Perhaps just put this ticket out of its misery (like what will soonish happen for AFS itself)? In progress (13/2)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127353 127353] (28/3)<br />
 
Steve bravely rolled out a small Centos7 test cluster and Sno+ job accidentally landed on it - they kept it that way to test things out but sadly it looks like their tests failed and have asked for their jobs to not land on the test cluster anymore. In progress (2/4)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126956 126956] (6/3)<br />
 
Availability ticket due to the annoying ARC monitoring issues. On hold (27/3)
 
 
'''QMUL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127352 127352] (28/3)<br />
 
Icecube jobs failing on a QM GPU node - the likely cause has been spotted (old AMD libs sitting on the system with a new nvidia card in it) but it might be a little while till this is fixed. Dan has proposed using this as an opportunity to roll out a Centos7 test node which Icecube were okay with. In progress (31/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127144 127144] (15/3)<br />
 
LHCB saw problems with ce04, which Dan reckons were caused by load and has asked if there are still problems. Waiting for reply (31/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126261 126261] (30/1)<br />
 
A biomed ticket for ce04, although they rechecked if this was still a problem during the aforementioned load problems. There seems to be other errors too though- maybe related to the biomed infrastructure? In progress (31/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126650 126650] (15/2)<br />
 
cern@school errors due to a misconfig in the VO usernames (slurm only does lowercase usernames!). Dan has rolled out the new users and Daniela has rolled out some tests jobs. In progress (31/3)
 
  
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127445 127445] (1/4)<br />
+
32 Open Tickets this week, which is an in depth a look as I've been able to take.
Another biomed submission error ticket, I'm not sure if this is a duplicate of 126261. It looks like a similar error (on ce5 this time though). Assigned (1/4)
+
  
'''BRUNEL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127117 127117] (13/3)<br />
 
A request from CMS to upgrade the spacemon client. Raul was on it. Any luck with this? Although I've just remembered that Raul is in a different hemisphere so that question might fall on a deaf inbox. In progress (14/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127126 127126] (14/3)<br />
 
Availability ticket, again by the looks of it due to the ARC monitoring playing up. On hold (27/3)
 
 
'''TIER 1'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127251 127251] (21/3)<br />
 
A ticket from an atlas user concerning transfers into castor have trouble and some errors the user is seeing. John has requested more information as the files themselves seem present and correct, but someone who has some idea as to what the error messages listed by the submitter mean would be handy. Waiting for reply (27/3) ''Update - closed as likely a problem with the user's code.''
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127449 127449] (2/4)<br />
 
One of the RAL ARCs wasn't working well for LHCB - but the problems appear to have passed and the ticket can be closed now. In progress (3/4)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126905 126905] (2/3)<br />
 
CVMFS commissioning for the SOLID experiment. With effort from Daniela and Catalin things all look to be working for solid now with /cvmfs/solidexperiment.egi.eu exported nicely and uploadable to by the VO. Looks like another ticket can be closed. Waiting for reply (29/3) ''Update - before it gets closed there has been a request for some extra information from Catalin.''
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127388 127388] (29/3)<br />
 
LHCB troubles accessing some files at RAL. Have these issues passed with the other castor problems from the weekend? In progress (3/4)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127240 127240] (21/3)<br />
 
CMS request to run staging tests in prep for Run 2. There was a request from CMS for access to some monitoring plots, I assume for the transfer rates between buffers, but it wasn't very clear. In progress (27/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126184 126184] (26/1)<br />
 
Atlas request for site monitoring input. Alessandra went over this in last week's atlas uk meeting. It's not too late to have your say in the google docs. In progress (7/2)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124876 124876] (7/11)<br />
 
ROD ticket concerning tests to the RAL echo instance. Alastair's counter ticket (ticket [https://www.ggus.org/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=125026 125026]) hasn't had an update since last year - I think it needs a kick. On Hold (1/1)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117683 117683] (18/11/15)<br />
 
Castor Glue 2 publishing. Rob reported some good progress. On Hold (2/3)
 
 
'''NGI'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126808 126808] (24/2)<br />
 
WMS usage ticket - mainly involving Imperial and the Tier 1. There was some worry from Daniela regarding the closure of old WMS tickets due to it being "no longer supported", but there were reassurances that security bugs would be fixed. Are you feeling reassured? In progress (20/3)

WLCG Operations Coordination - AgendasWiki Page

Tuesday 11th June

  • I got stuck (figuratively) in my machine room last Thursday afternoon so missed it. Agenda. Minutes. Ste was there - any observations?

Tuesday 14th May

  • Next meeting this Thursday.

Tuesday 9th April

Monday 11th February 2019

  • There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last Thursday. You can view the meeting notes here.
    • End of CREAM support Dec 2020.
    • Migration from CREAM to be discussed at the EGI conference 6-8 of May in Amsterdam.
    • Operational intelligence discussion (see slides).
    • Experiment updates (see ATLAS discussion on DOMA)
    • WG updates (few).




Tier-1 - Status Page

17 June 2019 Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (17/06/2019) is here.

  • Ongoing, we are seeing high outbound packet loss over IPv6. Central networking performed a firmware update to the border routers but this didn’t resolve the issue. Plan to move connections to the new border routers in Mid June. Will do this before trying to debug any further.

11 June 2019 Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (10/06/2019) is here.

  • Ongoing, we are seeing high outbound packet loss over IPv6. Central networking performed a firmware update to the border routers but this didn’t resolve the issue. Plan to move connections to the new border routers in Mid June. Will do this before trying to debug any further.
  • Three certificates were revoked mistakenly on ARGUS on Thursday. All SAM tests failed until this was fixed the next morning. Batch farm also did not start any new jobs during this time. We used this accidental draining to reboot nodes that needed to pick up security patching.
  • LHCb Castor instance has been completely disabled for LHCb and will be decommissioned.
  • Brian Davies has transferred from his role as GridPP Tier-2 Storage Support Officer and has joined the Tier-1 Production Team. Although this has happened with immediate effect he will still be available for ad-hoc/informal storage support.
Storage & Data Management - Agendas/Minutes

Wed 30 Oct

  • DOME upgrade problems at Edinburgh
  • Data management support/development for IRIS users

Wed 23 Oct

  • Rucio reporting

Wed 16 Oct

  • CEPH workshop at CERN report

Wed 02 Oct

  • Safe to upgrade to DPM 1.13 but make sure the BDII is working if you support DIRAC
  • Roadmap for xroot and http TPC for RAL FTS(es)

Wed 25 Sept

  • Storage support for IRIS VOs?

Wed 18 Sept

  • Report from yesterday's Rucio Face Meeting at Coseners
  • Suggestions for following up from yesterday's CEPH day hosted by CERN

Wed 11 Sept

  • Storage related stuff at the FNAL (pre-)GDBs
  • DOME upgrade tickets for non-DOME DPM sites

Wed 04 Sept

  • Banning in SSC not entirely successful in non-DOME DPM, and end of support is nigh; tickets to upgrade will go out shortly.
  • Storage-and-data-management-wise, GridPP43 was interesting although no-one volunteered to install the next CEPH.


Tier-2 Evolution - GridPP JIRA

Monday 16th January

  • The discussion topic for next week will be accounting comparisons. Please note Alessandra's comments last week.

Monday 14th November

  • Alessandra has written an FAQ to extract numbers from ATLAS and APEL avoiding the SSB.

Monday 26th September

  • A problem with the APEL Pub and Sync tests developed last Tuesday and was resolved on Wednesday. This had a temporary impact on the accounting portal.
Documentation - KeyDocs

Tue 9th July 2019

LHCb has added this to their requirements:

Sites not having an SRM installation must provide:

Tue 16th April 2019

Minor change to LHCB requirements in Approved VOs:

  • Sites having migrated to the Centos7 (including "Cern Centos7") operating system or later versions are requested to provide support for singularity containers.

https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs#VO_Resource_Requirements

Tue 2nd April 2019

Changes to Approved for DUNE (and LZ)

There is a new "Approved VOs" document showing new settings for DUNE. And, since both LZ's voms servers now show up in the EGI Portal, I've removed the (now spurious) entry for voms.hep.wisc.edu that was formerly being inserted by hand.

https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs

I've also created a new set of RPMs (each has all LSC, VOMS, and XML for one VO) for all approved VOs. See Approved VOs doc for details, version is 1.9.

Sites with DUNE services need to update using whatever method they employ.

Special note: Since voms1.fnal.gov changed yesterday, I've updated documentation for that right away. But voms2.fnal.gov remains as it is until 23rd April (3 weeks). I'll update documentation for that when it is closer. Staggering the updates like this gives a time margin, so any particular site can have at least one service properly configured at any time. But it does mean that two site updates are needed; one now, and one in three weeks. However, since it's sufficient for only one (of the two) voms servers to be configured properly, sites could save effort and wait until (say) 19th April, then update both at once. But I can't dictate what site admins should do. It's your call.
