A reminder that there is a weekly [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/RAL_Tier1_Experiments_Liaison_Meeting Tier-1 experiment liaison meeting]. Notes from the last meeting [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2017-11-15 here]

'''17 June 2019''' Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (17/06/2019) is [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2019-06-17 here].
* There was a brief power outage at the RAL site on Monday 20th November. Most services have now recovered.  
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* The FTS service (both instances) is experiencing problems which are not fully understood.
+
* The database behind the FTS-production instance is being updated today.
+
* Re-distribution of data in Echo onto the 2015 capacity hardware is now complete. There are now 8PBytes of usable space in Echo. However, there is some data re-balancing to be done before upping the quotas so the VOs can make use of the extra space.
+
* Castor was be unavailable for a few hours on Tuesday 14th Nov for patching of the nodes.
+
* The LHCb Castor SRMs were successfully updated on Wednesday 15th Nov. This new version (2.1.16-18) respects the user-specified bringOnline timeout rather than ignoring it and defaulting to 4 hours. It is planned to upgrade the other SRMs on Tuesday 5th December.
+
* Both Production and Test FTS services have IPv6 enabled (i.e. are now dual-stack).
+
 
<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->
 
<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->

* 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.

==TEMPORARY NOTICE==
+
LHCb has added this to their requirements:
  
VOMS servers located at CNAF have been knocked out due to some flooding. It is not known when they might be recorvered. Hence, at present, there are no VOMS servers at all for both '''planck''' or '''ipv6.hepix.org'''. And a single new VOMS server has been provided for '''enmr'''. See the VOMS records in the Approved VOs document for details.
+
Sites not having an SRM installation must provide:
  
Ste Jones
+
* disk only storage
 +
* a GRIDFPT endpoint (a single dns entry)
 +
* an XROOT endpoint (a single dns entry)
 +
* a way to do the accounting (preferably following the WLCG TF standard: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/StorageSpaceAccounting)
  
'''Tuesday 26th Sept 2017'''
+
''' Tue 16th April 2019'''
* Safari on macOS autogenerated client certificates fix put into production last week.
+
  
'''Tuesday 19th Sept 2017'''
+
Minor change to LHCB requirements in Approved VOs:
* Bug in Safari on macOS causes random Apple generated client cert to be presented to www.gridpp.ac.uk using a CA we don't know about. The connection is then rejected by Apache. Other browsers ok since we request but do not require that they supply a certificate. Workaround produced by (a) installing the Apple CA root and intermediary CA and (b) whitelisting UK e-Science DNs (+ CERN? Others?) in the HTTPS Wiki plugin. Tested but not yet in production.
+
  
'''Tuesday 5th Sept 2017'''
+
* Sites having migrated to the Centos7 (including "Cern Centos7") operating system or  later versions are requested to provide support for singularity containers.

 +
'''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.

WLCG Operations Coordination - AgendasWiki Page

Tuesday 11th June

  • I got stuck (figuratively) in my machine room last Thursday afternoon so missed it. Agenda. Minutes. Ste was there - any observations?

Tuesday 14th May

  • Next meeting this Thursday.

Tuesday 9th April


Tuesday 26th March

Monday 11th February 2019

  • 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.

11 June 2019 Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (10/06/2019) 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.
Storage & Data Management - Agendas/Minutes

Wed 30 Oct

  • DOME upgrade problems at Edinburgh
  • Data management support/development for IRIS users

Wed 23 Oct

  • Rucio reporting

Wed 16 Oct

  • CEPH workshop at CERN report

Wed 02 Oct

  • Safe to upgrade to DPM 1.13 but make sure the BDII is working if you support DIRAC
  • Roadmap for xroot and http TPC for RAL FTS(es)

Wed 25 Sept

  • Storage support for IRIS VOs?

Wed 18 Sept

  • Report from yesterday's Rucio Face Meeting at Coseners
  • Suggestions for following up from yesterday's CEPH day hosted by CERN

Wed 11 Sept

  • Storage related stuff at the FNAL (pre-)GDBs
  • DOME upgrade tickets for non-DOME DPM sites

Wed 04 Sept

  • Banning in SSC not entirely successful in non-DOME DPM, and end of support is nigh; tickets to upgrade will go out shortly.
  • Storage-and-data-management-wise, GridPP43 was interesting although no-one volunteered to install the next CEPH.

Monday 14th November

  • Alessandra has written an FAQ to extract numbers from ATLAS and APEL avoiding the SSB.

Monday 26th September

  • A problem with the APEL Pub and Sync tests developed last Tuesday and was resolved on Wednesday. This had a temporary impact on the accounting portal.
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.
