* In response to CVE-2016-5195, the Tier1 has decided to stop access to any services considered particularly vulnerable eg. the CEs, the UIs, the perfsonar boxes, some web servers. The the GOCDB entry for full details. 
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* Following the replacement of the "UKLight" router that handles the data traffic in/out of the Tier on 5th October we have seen significantly more data flowing across the "non-OPN" bypass route.
+
* Some changes were made to increase the number of CMS batch jobs that we run in order to bring the number more into line with the pledge.
+
* We have had load issues for both the Atlas Scratch Disk and on the Castor 'GEN' instance. This latter caused some access problems for all users of 'GEN' (e.g. Alice).
+
* Owing to staff availability the upgrade of Castor to version 2.1.15 is being scheduled to tale place in January.

 +
* 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.

GridPP Approved VOs now has link to RPM versions of the VOMS records. They are available for now via the [http://hep.ph.liv.ac.uk/~sjones/RPMS.voms/ VOMS RPMS Yum Repository]. The latest version, which is consistent with the Yaim records in the Approved VOs doc, is 1.0-1. Plan is that when VO records change, Approved VOs doc version will be incremented, and RPMs of changed VOs (only those) will be released carrying the same version stamp as the document. Thus a site that upgrades to "latest" will get the records compatible with the newest version of the GridPP [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs Approved VOs document].
+
  
Note: A typical RPM contains as so:
+
LHCb has added this to their requirements:
  
[sjones@hep169]$ rpm -qlp gridpp-voms-dteam-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
+
Sites not having an SRM installation must provide:
/etc/grid-security/vomsdir/dteam
+
/etc/grid-security/vomsdir/dteam/voms.hellasgrid.gr.lsc
+
/etc/grid-security/vomsdir/dteam/voms2.hellasgrid.gr.lsc
+
/etc/vomses/dteam-voms.hellasgrid.gr
+
/etc/vomses/dteam-voms2.hellasgrid.gr
+
/root/vo_xml/dteam.xml
+
  
The vomsdir (lsc) files (which list the DNs and CA DNs of acceptable certificates) and the vomses files (which give the coordinates of VOMS servers of various VOs) are provided, as if they were created by YAIM in the normal locations. No other features of YAIM are facilitaed by these RPMs. Thus they are useful for migrating from YAIM, but do not provide all the functions of YAIM such as setting SW dirs or other ENV vars etc.

Benchmarking procedure. Contains instructions for ARC/Condor, CREAM/Torque, VAC. Needs to be updated for use with other systems.

+
Minor change to LHCB requirements in Approved VOs:
  
'''Mon 1st Aug'''
+
* Sites having migrated to the Centos7 (including "Cern Centos7") operating system or  later versions are requested to provide support for singularity containers.
LZ VO now up to date in portal, and will be updated in Approved VOs automatically from now on. Sites supporting LZ are advised to read LZ VOMS settings section of https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs (which is between LSST and MAGIC!)
+
  
'''Tue 26th July'''
+
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs#VO_Resource_Requirements
  
Elena has provided VOMS info for DUNE. I'm maintaining it by hand, at present, similarly for LZ.
+
'''Tue 2nd April 2019'''
  
Both should be present and correct in the Operations Portal, but are not.
+
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.

'''Tuesday 5th February'''
* Mostly quiet.  We've got six outstanding tickets, four of which have been there for a while. There's one new ticket against Liverpool's ARC-CEs.  The final one is there purely to silence the availability alarm at EFDA-JET until the decommissioning process is complete.
+
* Birmingham decommissioning of SRM and BDII still going on so tickets are on hold.
 +
* Few availability tickets on hold
 +
* Lancaster has WebDav ticket on hold which seems to be effect of DOME rollout
  
'''Monday 19th September'''

'''Tuesday 14th August'''
* Fairly quiet week, with just the usual suspects.
+
* A couple of new availability tickets (QMUL and Lancaster), both for well-publicised reasons. Otherwise quiet. AM on shift this week.
* ROD responses received.

'''Monday 22nd August'''
 
* Unusually quiet week. Nothing significant.
 
* Portal very slow at times though.
 
* New rota meet-o-matic request circulated - ROD team members please respond this week!

* Dirty COW vulnerability - CVE-2016-5195
+
** Sites are asked to act to mitigate this as soon as possible - see the [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/SVG:Advisory-SVG-CVE-2016-5195 advisory]. Hopefully by the time the meeting comes we'll have more information on an SL fix (SL7 is available) - when this comes sites will have 7 days to update. Sites not able or wanting to apply mitigation before official patches are available have the option to go into Downtime, without penalty of loss of availability (until 3 days after official patches are available, agreed by EGI Operations).

* Sites not upgrading for EGI-SVG-2016-11476 have now been ticketed by EGI CSIRT. Although WNs not thought to be vulnerable they are asked to be upgraded as indicator of compliance elsewhere. No UK sites have been ticketed _BUT_ it looks like the monitoring is only working through CREAM CEs so there may be ARC CE installations that would show "vulnerable" if/when the monitoring is fixed. Please check.

Just another lite update this week.
 
  
'''Looks like they can be closed:''''<br />
+
32 Open Tickets this week, which is an in depth a look as I've been able to take.
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=123504 123504] (20/9) - '''Tier 1''' T2K ticket, with T2K quiet on the grid and Jon P's departure I would close this ticket.
+
 
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124411 124411] (12/10) - '''QMUL''' ticket regarding IceCube GPU glideins. Looks like things are working and the ticket can be closed, interesting stuff though.
+
 
+
'''Need an Update:'''<br />
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=122378 122378] (4/10) - '''Glasgow''' Perfsonar ticket. I'm being a bit unfair singling this one out though.
+
 
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=123870 123870] (14/9) - '''Manchester''' Perfsonar ticket.
+
 
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121687 121687] (10/10) - '''Tier 1''' Perfsonar ticket - a reminder to update how do things look after a fortnight of statistics with the new router.
+
 
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=123962 123962] (13/10) - '''Liverpool''' biomed ticket, after being taught the wonders of space tokens by John I noticed that Sorina's update contained a question that could do with a response.
+
 
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124244 124244] (5/10) - '''Tier 1''' Ticket from LHCB for a cvmfs issue at RAL. Is this still a problem? No update for 19 days.
+
 
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124431 124431] (14/10) - '''Tier 1''' ticket from atlas regarding a frontier squid. Checking the plots things still don't look right (at least to my eyes). ''Update - thanks to Alessandra for closing the ticket, the (unmaintained) monitoring was lying to us!''

+
* The WLCG dashboard is available here: http://dashboard.cern.ch/.  
* New wiki page has been created for ARGO Nagios https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/ARGO_Nagios_Monitoring. I will add some more information to it later.
+
* Please review the results on [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ Steve's test pages].
* Removed old wiki links about sam nagios from gridpp wiki page.
+
* VO nagios still exist and working. I have opened a ticket to explore ARGO VO Nagios,  https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=123604
+
 
+
 
+
''' 19th July '''
+
 
+
Both instances of gridppnagios at Oxford and Lancaster has been decommissioned.  
+
 
+
''' 12th July 2016 '''
+
 
+
Central ARGO monitoring service  has started from 1st of July. All grid resources are monitored through two Nagios instances
+
 
+
https://argo-mon.egi.eu/nagios/
+
 
+
https://argo-mon2.egi.eu/nagios/
+
 
+
It has same interface as gridppnagios. Alarms from these instances goes to Operational Dashboard
+
 
+
http://argo.egi.eu/ is a web interface which provides availability/reliability figures and site status. It is equivalent of old myegi interface with some additional services.
+
 
+
I am planning to decommission both instances of gridppnagios in coming weeks. I have stopped nagios  and httpd on both instances so it will not send tests to grid resources in UK.  I will also decommission storage-monit.physics.ox.ac.uk which was only used for storage replication test.
+
 
+
We will keep vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk running until we get a replacement for vo-monitoring.
+
 
+
  
'''Monday 13th June'''
+
'''Tuesday 18th July'''
* Active Nagios instance moved to Lancaster
+
* Following our ops discussion last week, Steve will focus [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ his tests] on supporting the GridPP DIRAC area and decommission the other tests.
  
''' Tuesday 5th April 2016 '''
 
  
Oxford had a scheduled network warning so active nagios instance was moved from Oxford to Lancaster. I am not planning to move it back to Oxford for the time being.
 
 
 
''' Tuesday 26th Jan 2016 '''
 
 
One of the message broker was in downtime for almost three days. Nagios probes picks up a random message broker and failover is not working so a lot of ops jobs hanged for long time. Its a known issue and unlikely to be fixed as SAM Nagios is in its last leg. Monitoring is moving to ARGO and many things are not clear at the moment.
 
 
'''Monday 30th November'''
 
* The SAM/ARGO team has created a [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Service_Level_Target_-_Availability_Reliability document] describing Availability reliability calculation in ARGO tool.

** RHUL: The largest problem was related to the SRM. The DPM version was upgraded and it took several weeks to get it working again (13 Jan onwards). Several short-lived occurrences of running out of space on the SRM for non-ATLAS VOs. For around 3 days (15-17 Jan) the site suffered from a DNS configuration error by their site network manager which removed their SRM from the DNS, causing external connections such as tests and transfers to fail. For one day (25 Jan) the site network was down for upgrade to the 10Gb link to JANET. Some unexpected problems occurred extending the interruption from an hour to a day. The link has been successfully commissioned.
+
 
+
** Lancaster: The ASAP metric for Lancaster for January is 97.5 %. There is a particular problem with ATLAS SAM tests which doesn’t affect the site activity in production and analysis and this relates to the path name being too long. A re-calculation has been performed.
+
 
+
** RALPP: Both CMS and LHCb low figures are due to specific CMS jobs overloading the site SRM head node. The jobs should have stopped now.

  • 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.

  • 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.
