| + | 28 Open UK Tickets today.<br /> |
| + | Please can everyone check to make sure they don't have tickets going stale. |
| | | |
| + | '''NGI'''<br /> |
| + | https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106057 (9/6)<br /> |
| + | The creation of a new UK Cloud site UKI-LT2-IC-HEP-Cloud. Jeremy has created the site and I see Adam has signed himself up as an Admin to it. Does anything else need doing? In progress (11/6) |
| + | |
| + | '''EMI 2 APEL tickets for RHUL and MANCHESTER:'''<br /> |
| + | https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=105923 |
| + | https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=105922 |
| + | Not much noise from either of these tickets. |
| + | |
| + | '''MANCHESTER/VOMS'''<br /> |
| + | https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106243 (16/6)<br /> |
| + | Sno+ ran into a spot of bother with some of the UK vomses, Robert replied with a good explanation of what was going on at Manchester. Something for the other voms sites to watch out for (although you probably know all about it). In progress (is it solved?) (16/6) |
| + | |
| + | '''SUSSEX'''<br /> |
| + | https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106060 (9/6)<br /> |
| + | Matt RB fixed one atlas problem with the Sussex Storm SE, but another has come along- looking like bad checksums. Wahid suggests asking Chris Walker (the Storm Whisperer) for his advice. In progress (16/6) |
| + | |
| + | https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102810 (28/3)<br /> |
| + | Sussex's EMI ticket - almost done now, I believe the alarms are disappearing and now the problems are with services not working (but as we discussed last week, upgraded and broken is still upgraded!). In progress (13/6) |
| + | |
| + | https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=105618 (21/5)<br /> |
| + | Sorry to be picking on Sussex. I suspect this Sno+ cvmfs ticket has been put on the back burner - can it be put on hold until you get round to it. In progress (9/6) |
| + | |
| + | Same for https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=105937 |

General updates
|
Monday 16th June
- There was a GDB last week and pre-GDB on IPv6. Of particular interest is Helge's trip report from HEPIX. The official GDB summary notes are now available and the actions updated.
- GGUS ran into problems over the weekend and this affected ticket processing. The system did not recover from a DB connection problem and required a server restart.
- There is a plan for the upgrade of the CVMFS installation servers hosted at CERN from v 2.0 to v 2.1, starting from August the 5th. Before the servers upgrade (by the end of July) there is a request to make sure that the CVMFS clients deployed on the WLCG infrastructure are upgraded to the 2.1.19 version, released on 28th May.
- Well done to Brunel for being the first UK site to offer EGI resources via the eGrant system!
Monday 9th June
- Note that the EMI-2 deadline set by EGI has now passed (31st May) and all remaining EMI-2 services/endpoints must be put into downtime.
- The UK CA moved to issuing SHA-2 certificates on 28th May.
- Reminder that the WLCG workshop registration should have been completed by now (and the accompanying GridPP travel request).
- There is a GDB at CERN this week with pre-GDB on IPv6. The first few overview talks (setting up and comparing IPv4 and IPv6) are good background and it is recommended to review them. You can test your connectivity via ipv6-test.com.
- The agenda from the HEPSYSMAN meeting at RAL last week is available here.
- The GridPP DIRAC service can be accessed via this link.
- ATLAS datasets on LocalGroupDisk more than 2 years old are being deleted starting from June 1st 2014.
- EGI is now informing sites on a biweekly basis of VOs seeking additional resources. A process has been created for sites to register their resources into a ‘pool’ via the eGrant system. More information is available.
- The May WLCG availability/reliability figures have been released. A reminder, if you want to request a re-computation you need to submit a GGUS ticket. Specific follow-ups have been requested in an email to TB-SUPPORT on 2nd June.
Monday 27th May
- There is a DIRAC workshop at CERN this week. If you, or VOs you work with, have any thoughts on specific requirements for future DIRAC development please let Janusz/Dan or Jeremy know.
- An EGI Operations Management Board takes place on Tuesday morning. The topics: CSIRT update; resource allocations; gfal2 replacing lcg_utils; central SAM update; EMI-2 decommissioning and update on GPGPUs.
- The latest ops portal update integrated the possibility to register and update VO ID cards according to a new discipline classification. VO managers are being encouraged to check/update their VO ID card via this link.
- There was a GridPP technical meeting last Friday.
- The final WLCG Tier-2 reliability & availability reports for Arpil are now uploaded.
- There has been some TB-Support discussion on GitHub vs BitBucket. Any conclusions?
- A reminder that David C has put together a blog on monitoring.

Tuesday 20th May
Between May 1st and May 12th, SAM-CENTRAL and the Message Broker Network have experienced a set of chained failures that resulted in the loss of a large portion of the metric results that were published by the SAM NGI Instances. The loss of these messages will result in an unusually high number of UNKNOWNS in the May A/R reports, but the actual A/R numbers will not be affected as UNKNOWNS are not take into account. No other services have been affected.
Tuesday 13th May
- From last week's discussion DiRAC now supports: NA62, vo.landslides.mossaic.org, t2k.org, snoplus, gridpp, CERN@school and northgrid. NA62 are moving from LFC to DFC and plan to use DiRAC in place of the WMS.
