'''Monday 26th June'''
+
* GOCDB has received a new service type request for: ‘eu.egi.storage.accounting’: - authorising the site/SE to publish the storage accounting data - making the site/SE appear in the portal - monitoring that the accounting data are regularly published.
+
* The registration to the next LHCOPN/LHCONE meeting is now open. LHCONE meeting agenda: https://indico.cern.ch/event/646629/.

+
* Chris B: Gotcha when upgrading ArcCEs to htcondor 8.6
+
* EGI: new nagios probes appdbsync and OCCI-Categories for testing cloud services
+
* Dan: cvmfs versions. It seems others are running 2.3 and 2.4 versions.
+
* LSST: submission from panda is now working at Lancs, Manc and RAL. The plan (only sketched for now) is to run a data challenge. GridPP is behind this and said we should give a high priority to this effort. At the moment the initial plan is to use 16,000 cores for a month. This is a significant chunk of resources and will require organisation and much testing to get it running smoothly. Though using panda LSST doesn't have all the resubmission features ATLAS has, they also use the storage tools slightly differently privileging xrootd which is not as well supported as gridftp.

'''Monday 5th June'''
+
* Migration of the UI/WN tarball repositories.
+
* EGI [http://argo.egi.eu/lavoisier/ngi_reports?month=2017-05&accept=html RP/RC A/R Report] available. UK is fine but dropped in April.

** cdf - no
+
** dzero -  no
+
** esr - no, but they might.
+
** magic - no, but they might
+
** neiss - no
+
** supernemo - They will be soon. Discussions started.

<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* The OPN link to CERN was upgraded to 3 * 10Gbit on Wednesday (28th June). So far so good.
+
* EGI have announced withdrawal of support for the WMS at the end of 2017 (as announced elsewhere).
+
* We are working to get jobs for LSST and LIGO running here. The VOs have been enabled before, but issues of actually running jobs successfully are being worked through.

 +
* 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.

''' Tue 9th July 2019'''
As part of the process of moving everything to Centos7 (or some other form of RHEL7), I've written up how we build nodes at Liverpool for our ARC/Condor system.
+
  
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Centos7_Adoption
+
LHCb has added this to their requirements:
  
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.
+
Sites not having an SRM installation must provide:
  
'''Tue 7th Mar'''
+
* disk only storage
 +
* 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)
  
I want to get rid of following stale docs...
+
''' Tue 16th April 2019'''
  
* Ten Easy Network Questions
+
Minor change to LHCB requirements in Approved VOs:
* GridPP Answers to 10 Easy Network Questions

'''Monday 13th Feb'''
+
* Sites having migrated to the Centos7 (including "Cern Centos7") operating system or  later versions are requested to provide support for singularity containers.
* 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:

https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs#VO_Resource_Requirements
  
'''Monday 30th January'''
+
'''Tue 2nd April 2019'''
  
The fusion VO has been removed from GridPP Approved VOs.
+
Changes to Approved for DUNE (and LZ)
  
'''Monday 9th January'''
+
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.
  
* Tom put these together:
+
  https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
** 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].
+
  
 +
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.
  
''' Tue 22nd Nov '''
+
Sites with DUNE services need to update using whatever method they employ.
  
* More on Accounting audit tools
+
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.
  
The process for ARC, Toque and VAC is now documented here.

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.

  • 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.
