See VO-LSST-014 | |
VOI-LSST-009 | voms-proxy-init EMI-3 not working | AF, DB | Closed | 2015-01-11 | FNAL upgraded the VOMS to a EMI-3 clients compatible version. Ticket https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117587 closed. | |

Currently only 3 SEs (Ed, Man, Liv) enabled and mostly on older hardware. Replication will also allow to solve the registration problem by copying to a subdirectory <storage_path>/lsst/lsst. First leg of the distribution done. All files copied to Manchester. | |
VOI-LSST-016 | Move to use gridpp VO because GridPP management requested to run an analysis with any "means possible" | AF, JZ, RF, DB, KM | In progress | 2016-02-16 | Requires direct job submission and longer proxies. https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119265 https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119322 https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119323. Joe has submitted his jobs and the majority run. There were problems in Bristol and Cambridge which are under investigation. Joe was recommended to remove them from the list for now and resubmit the jobs. With this | |
VOI-LSST-17 | Edinburgh LSST data access | ME | Closed | 2016-02-08 | The local time out problem with the data access was solved and data is available now for jobs and transfers without timing out | |
VOI-LSST-18 | Adapt Joe's ganga and bash scripts to submit to dirac and use the dirac file catalog clients instead of gfal_utils. | AF | In progress | 2016-02-23 | the current scripts use gfal which is incompatible with dirac job submission. This was a stumbling block that forced us to go back to use gridpp and direct job submission. The scripts are modified and run successfully two jobs at UKI-SOUTHGRID-RALPP (ARC). I've also tested with a larger sample of 165 which is currently still running in RALPP,Liverpool and Manchester. Jobs run also in Lancs but failed there (to be investigated). 165 jobs run is almost finished. | |
VOI-LSST-19 | Run a larger sample of jobs (effectively 2500) | AF, JZ | In progress | 2016-02-25 | https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/GRIDPP-33 | |
VOI-LLST-20 | Implement JZ workflow in plain dirac cli | ME | In Progress | 2016-03-01 | dirac cli is implemented in scripts and usable for job submission and getting OutputSandbox using a given input file list, a test running over 1000 input files was successful, needs to be tested for overall analysis usage by JZ |
LZ
PoC: David Colling (DC)
All Monte Carlo for the TDR was generated using Dirac and shell scripts. Only a few extra TDR jobs being run to fix holes. After TDR next step is to have full gaudi simulations.
LZ has been successfully running large scale simulations at Imperial.
Currently the following CEs are enabled for LZ, but anything apart from Imperial needs testing (and Sheffield needs pilot roles):
