* Final T2 availability & reliability - [https://espace.cern.ch/WLCG-document-repository/ReliabilityAvailability/2017/04-17/ April 2017].
+
* CA reminders... some observations
+
** Reminders are working as well as they always have
+
** Special case if you have multiple certs which expire soon after the other [which isn't actually permitted and hence not expected] the reminders come late
+
** Please don't send CA tickets to TB-SUPPORT as it is a publicly visible mailing list and if things turn into non-issues then can be seen as bad advertising for no reason
+
** Don't rely on the CA to remind you – setup your own reminders
+
** "fixing" this issue (multiple certs) is plausible, but as it is deep within code (there are several levels of code involved here in more than 1 language) then it might be error-prone and hard to test.
+
* EGI Operations Broadcast - May 2017

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_2017-05-31 here]

'''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].
* All Castor instances have now been upgraded to version 2.1.16. This includes upgrading the SRMs to version 2.1.16 as well. As part of this the SRMs were upgraded to SL6 thereby removing the final SL5 systems that were providing an external facing service.
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* Atlas have successfully carried out a deletion test of data in Echo.
+
* LIGO and the MICE pilot role have now been enabled for batch access.
+
* The Edinburgh Dirac site is transferring data in production. Currently around 2 to 4TB per day. There is a total of around 400TB to transfer in this tranche.
+
* The new version of FTS3 installed on our "test" FTS service (used by Atlas) no longer supports the SOAP API. There are still some access to our "production" FTS3 service via this API (mainly SNO+ and MICE). We will wish to upgrade the production FTS3 service - and need VOs to move to the rest API provided with the newer versions of FTS. Would like to set deadline when we upgrade the "production" instance and hence no longer support the SOAP API.

<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->

* 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.

* Please check the keydocs page. Would all owners please review their pages and prepare a short note on how they will bring things up-to-date in the coming months. This will be discussed at a core ops meeting (poll to be circulated shortly).
+
* There are several EGI operations document updates out for review. Please make comments to Jeremy by 20th Febraury for inclusion in the UK feedback:

The fusion VO has been removed from GridPP Approved VOs.

'''Tue 2nd April 2019'''
  
'''Monday 9th January'''
+
Changes to Approved for DUNE (and LZ)
  
* Tom put these together:
+
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.
** A [http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.222702  snapshot of the GridPP UserGuide] is now available as an offline document in the Zenodo repository:
+
** ...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].  
+
  
 +
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
  
''' Tue 22nd Nov '''
+
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.
  
* More on Accounting audit tools
+
Sites with DUNE services need to update using whatever method they employ.
  
The process for ARC, Toque and VAC is now documented here.
+
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.

Down to 21 Open UK Tickets this month.
 
 
'''SUSSEX'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=122772 122772] (11/7/116)<br />
 
Atlas xroot/webdav ticket, with just xroot to go. Any luck with the xrootd server? In progress (9/5)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127767 127767] (18/4)<br />
 
Availability ticket - Daniela notes that there are still issues with test jobs not running in time, and advises perhaps reserving a slot for tests. On hold (25/5)
 
 
'''RALPP'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127555 127555] (7/4)<br />
 
Another availability ticket, although Chris points out several valid reasons why this points to the monitoring being fubared, vitiating RALPP's results. On hold (30/5)
 
 
'''OXFORD'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128512 128512] (27/5)<br />
 
LHCB spotted a problem with the Oxford ARC CE, which Kashif seems to have cleared up with a reboot, but no word from lhcb since. Could do with a poke. In progress (30/5)
 
 
'''BRISTOL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126864 126864] (28/2)<br />

'''GLASGOW'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124052 124052] (25/9/16)<br />
 
The cursed ticket, requiring new ARC CEs to fix a problem with publishing seen by lhcb. Hopefully enough positive karma has been accrued to give some breathing space to get round to this. On Hold (4/4)
 
 
'''ECDF'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128294 128294] (12/5)<br />
 
Availability ticket - looking into the ECDF argo page is a journey into the unknown (status), with their infamous -1 availability. If you're site seems to be capping out at 99% then I'd blame the ECDF guys for stealing that extra 1% :-P In progress (19/5)
 
 
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127766 127766] (18/4)<br />

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128429 128429] (19/5)<br />
 
BDII test failure ticket, the alarm was fixed by Elena syncing her clocks, but glue-validator failures are still seen. Kashif right recommends running the test manually. In progress (2/6)
 
 
'''LANCASTER'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128321 128321] (15/5)<br />

The Imperials are having an issue with gfal-copy within CMS jobs. Despite not being able to replicate manually, some quiddity of the job environment causes gfal-copy to seg fault. The site has tried a different version and raising the ulimit, but no joy yet despite the efforts. In progress (5/6)

100IT has 3 tickets that I won't go into.

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127967 127967] (27/5)<br />

Enabling MICE pilots at the Tier 1. The accounts are created but it looks like job submission isn't working yet for this role. In progress (25/5)

CMS would like the Tier 1 to check their xroot/networking performance. In response Andrew L had switched off "lazy download" Andrew asked if this has helped, but the issue is muddled by the firewall at RAL dropping packets, awaiting news from the RAL networking team. In progress (30/5)

Tuesday 26th March

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.

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.
