+
** 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.

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_2017-06-07 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. Overall it is working well, but there are still some issues for CMS access - these can be seen in timeouts affecting the CMS SRM SAM tests.
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* 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 will set deadline - possibly around 7th July - when we upgrade the "production" instance and hence no longer support the SOAP API.
+
* An additional link to CERN has been procured and the OPN link will be upgraded to 3 * 10Gbit. Possible date for this is Wednesday 14th June. The change is expected to be transparent.
+
* A start has been made on installing XRootD gateways on the worker nodes. These are needed for Echo access.
+
* There will most probably NOT be a Tier1/Experiments Liaison Meeting in the next two weeks (Clashes with HEP Sysman and the WLCG Wokshop). However, a report will be produced and comments invited.
+
 
<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->
 
<!-- **********************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.

'''11 June 2019''' Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (10/06/2019) is [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2019-06-10 here].

 +
* 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.

I hope it's also a decent cheatsheet for Puppet3/Hiera. It's a draft, and I need to put in some more details, but it should be usable.

* a GRIDFPT endpoint (a single dns entry)
 +
* an XROOT endpoint (a single dns entry)
 +
* a way to do the accounting (preferably following the WLCG TF standard: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/StorageSpaceAccounting)

Minor change to LHCB requirements in Approved VOs:
* 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:
+
** - Resource Centre OLA https://documents.egi.eu/document/31
+
** - Resource Infrastructure Provider OLA https://documents.egi.eu/document/463

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.

* An update from the DIRAC workshop? GridPP is still the only true multi-VO instance, so we will continue to see issues with this. release quality of dirac has improved within the past year. gfal2/EL7 problems seem to be coming to an end after being cooped up with all authors for 3 days on end. The Imperial GridPP module now has integrated testing. It was also noted that every dirac instance has it's own special module to adapt to their community on top of main dira.

  • 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.

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.
