| |
− | * The majority of T1 sites and VOs confirmed that they do use SAM tests from the critical profiles and regularly check A/R reports.
| |
− | Suggestions for improvements:
| |
− | ** Propose policy for accepting A/R recalculation requests. The draft should be reviewed at the next meeting.
| |
− | ** VO should have flexibility in the definition of the critical profile. Though the impact of the changes in the critical profile should be carefully tested by the VO and should be announced in advance to the sites, no approval of the MB is required.
| |
− | ** Make tests as close as possible to the real production flow. ATLAS is planning some work in this direction.
| |
− | ** The proposal to include real production flows in the critical profile was not supported.
| |
− | ** Sites which do have local fabric monitoring like Nagios for example, are recommended to use an API to import test results into the local fabric monitoring. **This would help to avoid test failures staying unnoticed for months.
| |
− | ** Transparent navigation from the SAM UI to the log files is required to facilitate test failure debugging. This feature has to be preserved in the new SAM UI being developed by the monitoring team.

| | | |
− | * New Approved VO
| + | Minor change to LHCB requirements in Approved VOs: |
| | | |
− | A VO, solidexperiment.org, has been included in the GridPP Approved VOs document. Sites are requested to support this experiment, resources permitting.
| + | * Sites having migrated to the Centos7 (including "Cern Centos7") operating system or later versions are requested to provide support for singularity containers. |

− | * In the Ops Portal, LHCb mentions a new cvmfs mount, /cvmfs/lhcb-condb.cern.ch
| + | '''Tue 2nd April 2019''' |
| | | |
− | * A voms server for magic, voms02.pic.es, has an updated DN.
| + | Changes to Approved for DUNE (and LZ) |
| | | |
− | '''Tuesday 9th Jan 2018''' | + | 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. |
− | Changes to Approved VOs.
| + | |
| | | |
− | a) VOMS servers for planck, ipv6.hepix.org and enmr are now restored to as they were before the flooding at CNAF.
| + | https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs |
− | b) The DN of a VOMS server for magic has changed.
| + | |
| | | |
− | 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. |
| | | |
− | '''Tuesday 5th Sept 2017'''
| + | Sites with DUNE services need to update using whatever method they employ. |
| | | |
− | New Approved VO. SKA European regional data centre, skatelescope.eu
| + | 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. |
