RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 4th November 2015
Review of Issues during the week 28th October to 4th November 2015. |
- Early on Saturday (24/10/2015) morning, arc-ce02 developed problems. It was probably due to problems with the underlying hyper-visor. Some other less critical machines on the same hyper-visor were also affected.
- On Monday (26/10/2015) evening, there were problems with the WMS servers. A user was submitting jobs with very big output files. This was filling up the working partition on the machines.
Resolved Disk Server Issues |
- gdss637 (AtlasTape - D0T1) was returned to production on Thursday 22nd Oct.
- gdss657 (LHCb_RAW - D0T1) was returned to production on Monday 26th Oct.
Current operational status and issues |
- The LHCb problem with a low but persistent rate of failure when copying the results of batch jobs to Castor. There is also a further problem that sometimes occurs when these (failed) writes are attempted to storage at other sites.
- The intermittent, low-level, load-related packet loss seen over external connections is still being tracked. Likewise we have been working to understand some remaining low level of packet loss seen within a part of our Tier1 network.
- Long-standing CMS issues. The two items that remain are CMS Xroot (AAA) redirection and file open times. Work is ongoing into the Xroot redirection with a new server having been added in recent weeks. File open times using Xroot remain slow but this is a less significant problem.
Ongoing Disk Server Issues |
- gdss707 (AtlasDataDisk - D1T0) has been out of production since Friday (16th Oct). The server is currently undergoing testing with fabric.
- gdss665 (AtlasTape - D0T1) failed on Sat (24th Oct). This server is still with the fabric team.
- gdss663 (AtlasTape - D0T1) failed on Sun (25th Oct). This server is still with the fabric team.
- gdss664 (AtlasTape - D0T1) has had a few issues starting over the weekend. This morning (28th Oct) we decided to remove it from production so it can be investigated.
Notable Changes made since the last meeting. |
- None
Declared in the GOC DB |
- None
Advanced warning for other interventions |
The following items are being discussed and are still to be formally scheduled and announced. |
- Upgrade of remaining Castor disk servers (those in tape-backed service classes) to SL6. This will be transparent to users.
- Some detailed internal network re-configurations to enable the removal of the old 'core' switch from our network. This includes changing the way the UKLIGHT router connects into the Tier1 network.
Listing by category:
- Databases:
- Switch LFC/3D to new Database Infrastructure.
- Castor:
- Update SRMs to new version (includes updating to SL6).
- Update disk servers to SL6 (ongoing)
- Update to Castor version 2.1.15.
- Networking:
- Complete changes needed to remove the old core switch from the Tier1 network.
- Make routing changes to allow the removal of the UKLight Router.
- Fabric
- Firmware updates on remaining EMC disk arrays (Castor, LFC)
Entries in GOC DB starting since the last report. |
- None
