* [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGBaselineVersions Baselines]: WMS fix for 512-bit keys, already applied at CERN.
 
* CERN would like to propose a deadline to switch FTS 2 off on the 1st of August.
 
* Review of baselines - main update is that fix for the 512-bit keys on WMSes is being applied.
 
* dCache is going to extend the security support for 2.2 until Enstore and dCache 2.6 are properly integrated. This will happen by summer.
 
* Tests ongoing with Oracle12
 
* dCache: is going to extend the security support for 2.2 until Enstore and dCache 2.6 are properly integrated.
 
* ALICE: [https://indico.cern.ch/event/274974/ Tier-1/2 workshop in Japan].
 
* ATLAS: in the middle of a disk crisis, many of the Tier1s are almost full of primary data. JEDI is under testing now. JEM activated (Job Evolution Monitor) for all the production resources. Rucio migration (Rucio as file catalog instead of LFC) in progress.
 
* CMS: Soon starting 13 TeV MC DIGI/RECO. Looking at ccess to high memory resources and multi-core jobs.
 
* LHCb: 2014 spring incremental stripping in full swing, 1/4 of the data has been processed ([http://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Reprocessing/stats-inc-stripping-spring14.html statistics]).

* Multicore: Several meetings. Conclusions so far systems reviewed are capable of supporting multicore jobs however a tuning of each system is required to be able to absorb them (draining/reservation of resources) when running together with single core jobs.
 
* perfSONAR: perfSONAR 3.3.2 is now baseline. Deadline April 1, 2014 - all WLCG sites should have instances deployed, using the mesh - configuration and registered in OIM/GOCDB. Instructions in [https://indico.cern.ch/event/280062/contribution/1/6/material/slides/1.pdf slides].

'''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].
* A replacement MyProxy server has been put into production (to resolve the MyProxy issues raised in GGUS ticket [https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=97025 97025]). This new service is called myproxy.gridpp.rl.ac.uk. Sites and VOs need to make appropriate reconfigurations to use this. We plan to turn the old one (lcgrbp01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk) off tomorrow (2nd April).
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* Load related problems with the CMS Castor instance have been ongoing. Plans to mitigate this are in place.
+
* EMI-3 WN roll out underway with half of the nodes now done.
+
* The most recent purchases of worker nodes are currently being deployed into the batch farm. New disk server deployment is also ongoing.
+
 
<!-- **********************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.

''' Tue 9th July 2019'''
 +
 
 +
LHCb has added this to their requirements:
 +
 
 +
Sites not having an SRM installation must provide:
 +
 
 +
* 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)
 +
 
 +
''' 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.

34 Open UK tickets this week.
 
 
'''TIER 1'''<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=101968 (11/3)<br />
 
Atlas deletion errors at the Tier 1. Alastair posted a good explanation of the problem and some mitigation details, but atlas would like an update. On hold (12/3) ''Update - Problem persists, reminder set for 7/4''
 
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102611 (24/3)<br />
 
The Tier 1's EMI upgrade ticket. Some false positives on this list, Kashif asks if the NGI argus is also a false alarm? In progress (28/3)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=101079 (9/2)<br />
 
Tweaking the ARCCE DefaultSE publishing. As a bit of bookkeeping can the priority be tweaked to less urgent (seeing as the issue isn't causing great woe). On hold (17/3)
 
 
As an aside tickets often are submitted using the default priority of "urgent" and category of "Incident" - if you catch these in your tickets then you should feel free to change them.
 
 
'''SUSSEX'''<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102810 (28/3)<br />
 
Sussex's original EMI upgrade ticket (102212) was closed "automatically"- ("broken ticket - close by Operations Portal"), leaving this one in it's stead. I'm not sure if the information Matt RB carefully posted in the previous ticket needs to be cut and pasted over to here. All seems a bit weird. In progress (28/3)
 
 
'''OXFORD'''<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102469 (19/3)<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102544 (21/3) ''Solved'' <br />
 
A couple of Oxford tickets look a bit neglected (one about cvmfs for T2K, t'other an lhcb/torque problem). I suspect these got overlooked with the excitement of Pitlochry last week. In progress (21/3)
 
 
(Also there's ticket https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102740, which could be seen as either an annoyingly finicky request or the epitome of a low hanging fruit, for when you *really* need a win that day!). ''Also Solved''.
 
 
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102489 (20/3)<br />
 
Similarly at Sheffield, maybe this biomed "invalid publishing" ticket got forgotten about on the trip to sunny Scotland. In progress (20/3)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=100037 (3/1)<br />
 
The Sheffield perfsonar ticket. Things just needed finishing off by the looks of it - let us know if any advice is needed. On hold (11/3)
 
 
'''BIRMINGHAM'''<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=102404 (18/3)<br />
 
Birmingham's perfsonar "being weird" (ignoring Bristol), although Matt fixed it. Just doing the post-game roundup to figure out what magic actually fixed things, but could do with an update in the ticket. In progress (20/3) '''Update-Solved'''
 
 
'''QMUL'''<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=101639 (26/2)<br />
 
RFC3820 proxy problems. The problem is spread wider then QM, and likely needs a middleware patch or three to solve. Dan and Chris have asked for a master ticket to be created (failing that some more information would be nice). Nothing forthcoming from the submitter yet. I think this ticket has mutated to include the issues from RAL as well as QM. A bit of a mess. In progress (18/3)
 
 
  
 +
32 Open Tickets this week, which is an in depth a look as I've been able to take.

* Please review the results on [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ Steve's test pages].
 +
 
 +
'''Tuesday 18th July'''
 +
* 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 26th November'''
 
* Regional [https://gridppnagios.lancs.ac.uk/nagios Nagios] updated to release 22. It is a glite to UMD update and it required a fresh installation.
 
* There have been some internal changes in SAM-Nagios. Test probes are now the responsibility of product team. Some test names have been changed as a result of this reorganization.  For example the org.sam.CREAMCE-DirectJobSubmit test has become  emi.cream.CREAMCE-DirectJobSubmit.  This does not affect the operational activities.
 
* Please could all site admins look at services associated to their site and please mail Kashif if anything odd is noticed. Site admins can reschedule tests for their sites and it would be helpful if most functionalities are tested.
 
* Also, look at [https://gridppnagios.lancs.ac.uk/myegi/ myegi] which can be useful with links to the Dashboard, GSTAT, Accounting Portal and GGUS.

Tuesday 4th June 2019


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.

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

Wed 23 Oct

  • Rucio reporting

  • 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.


Tier-2 Evolution - GridPP JIRA

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.
