<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* "GEN Scratch" storage in Castor will be decommissioned.
+
* Catalin is organizing the CernVM Users Workshop at RAL on the 6-8 June 2016.

* 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.

'''Tuesday 5th February'''
* Normal week with few alarms which were fixed in time. Birmingham has  a low availability ticket. ECDF has ticket on hold as it test ARC CE and putting this CE in downtime might effect proper job test from ATLAS.

* Lancaster has WebDav ticket on hold which seems to be effect of DOME rollout

'''Monday 4th April 2016, 14.00 BST'''<br />
 
26 Open UK Tickets this month.
 
 
'''NGI'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119995 119995] (7/3)<br />
 
Uncertified site ticket for the UK - Jeremy is on the case, and there appears to be no need to rush. In progress (4/4)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120588 120588] (4/4)<br />
 
A fresh ticket, saying we have achieved insufficient "Quality of Support performance" - we had an average of a 1.4 day response time for very urgent tickets during March.
 
 
I've looked into this using the [https://ggus.eu/?mode=report_view ggus report viewer] and I believe we're being accused of a crime we only technically committed (if I'm looking at things right). We only had 2 "very urgent" tickets in this period, and one of them the site forgot to put In Progress, so had an erroneous response time of two and a half days. When averaged with the single other very urgent ticket this gave us an average response time > 1. Poor statistics is a right blimmer. I've updated the ticket - which was solved whilst I wrote the report.
 
 
The take home from this - please remember to set your tickets In Progress! It does actually matter (kinda).
 
 
'''SUSSEX'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118337 118337] (14/12/15)<br />
 
Sussex Storage down for Sno+ - I assume this is still the case? Jeremy M replied a while ago but no news since. On Hold (15/2)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117894 117894] (23/11/15)<br />
 
One of the last Atlas Consistency Checking tickets - in a similar state to the former. On Hold (25/1)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118289 118289] (10/12/15)<br />
 
gridpp pilots at Sussex- again no news. On Hold (25/1)
 
  
I was supposed to poke the Sussex tickets before Easter but local things came up - I will prod them after tomorrow's meeting if we don't get a chance to discuss them during.
+
32 Open Tickets this week, which is an in depth a look as I've been able to take.
  
'''RALPP'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118628 118628] (5/1)<br />
 
LZ support at RALPP. Chris tried to roll out the LZ-friendly test version of ARC to a production server but hit a roadblock and had to rollback. Chris is waiting on the fix to go out into the proper repositories, and is interested to see how things fair on a test centos7/umd4 ArcCE he has brewing (no pun intended). On hold (22/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120282 120282] (18/3)
 
Atlas HTTP taskforce ticket. Chris has asked that the tests be re-aimed at another, less-loaded server. Waiting for reply (1/4)
 
 
'''OXFORD'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120019 120019] (7/3)<br />
 
A CMS ticket asking the Oxford T3 to change its xrootd federation subscription. Ewan was the chap who first-responded to this ticket, quiet since - it needs some attention. In progress (7/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117892 117892] (23/11/15)<br />
 
The other holdout of the Atlas Storage Consistency Checking tickets, and again in a similar state. In progress (24/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120345 120345] (22/3)<br />
 
At atlas ticket asking Oxford to update their xroot monitoring settings. Kashif battled this issue with Ilija's help, and with luck it can be closed. In progress (31/3)
 
 
'''BIRMINGHAM'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119957 119957] (4/3)<br />
 
A ROD availiability ticket after their SE DB crisis, just waiting to for the alarms to go green. On hold (31/3)
 
 
'''GLASGOW'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117706 117706] (19/11/15)<br />
 
Pheno (and other?) pilots at Glasgow. Gareth reports that they should have their new identity management system up and running soon (it it arrived on time). On Hold (23/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118052 118052] (30/11/15)<br />
 
ATLAS HTTP Taskforce ticket. Reopened just before Easter after tests started failing with TLS issues. Reopened (24/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120351 120351] (22/3)<br />
 
The first on a few enable LSST tickets - On Hold until the new identity management system is up and running. On hold (23/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120135 120135] (11/3)<br />
 
I'm not entirely sure why you chaps got a second http TF ticket, but you have (for a slightly different issue). In progress (1/4)
 
 
'''EDINBURGH'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120004 120004] (7/3)<br />
 
ROD ticket for the test ARC CE fronting ARCHER, where tests fail as expected. I remember years ago being among many who couldn't think of a good reason to keep the "Production=yes, Monitoring=no" option, so they got rid of it - but it would perfectly apply here. How long can the ROD keep this ticket on hold before the dashboard self-destructs? On hold (29/3)
 
 
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118764 118764] (12/1)<br />
 
Another HTTP TF ticket. Elena kicked the services a while ago, but no news since (and the tests are still not passing by the looks of things). In progress (24/2)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114460 114460] (18/6/15)<br />
 
gridpp pilots at Sheffield. Did you get round to having a look at this? In progress (29/2)
 
 
'''MANCHESTER'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120430 120430] (24/3)<br />
 
Ticket tracking setting up Manchester for Icecube glideins (the coolest of VOs...). It opens with a request to the Manchester site admins to enable their user (looks like just the one pilot DN), but no reply (as the Mancunians might have missed that the ticket has turned on them). Assigned (24/3)
 
 
'''LANCASTER'''
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120412 120412] (24/3)<br />
 
Atlas deletion errors at Lancaster - caused by a few files badly drained back in 2014. I'm trying to figure out a clever, database-y way of listing all the files on these long gone servers (the best I've got so far is `select * from Cns_file_replica where host like 'fal-pygrid-%';`, but of course the dpns mapping isn't that straightforward. Expect a cry for help soone! In progress (4/4)
 
 
'''RHUL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119509 119509] (12/2)<br />
 
Sno+ job directories being cleaned up prematurely. It looks like this problem could have been transient - Matt M submitted some test jobs and didn't see the problem, and is re-testing with some proper work. Hopefully those tests completed okay. In progress (22/3)
 
 
'''QMUL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120352 120352] (22/3)<br />
 
Request to enable LSST at QM. Dan has asked for a reminder after/during GRIDPP36. On hold (24/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120204 120204] (15/3)<br />
 
LHCB having issues with some of the QM CEs. The reasons for this are unclear - pilots stopped around the start of March and the problem persisted at last check. In progress (17/3)
 
 
'''THE TIER 1'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117683 117683] (18/11/15)<br />
 
CASTOR not publishing GLUE2. It's being worked on in people's spare time - any recent news? If not, maybe progress is slow enough to warrant on-holding the ticket. In progress (17/2)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119841 119841] (1/3)<br />
 
HTTP TF ticket, this time for LHCB. Proxy functionality isn't working (although regular cert/key pair access is okay) - this functionality was never turned on and is being looked into. In progress (22/3)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120350 120350] (22/3)<br />
 
Request to enable LSST at the Tier 1. Daniela notes that the Tier 1 will likely hit the same problem as RALPP for LZ ([https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118628 118628]), Andrew L concurs. Pool accounts have been requested, things chug along nicely. In progress (22/3)

'''Monday 20th November'''
 
+
* The WLCG dashboard is available here: http://dashboard.cern.ch/.  
Oxford had a scheduled network warning so active nagios instance was moved from Oxford to Lancaster. I am not planning to move it back to Oxford for the time being.
+
* Please review the results on [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ Steve's test pages].
 
+
 
+
''' Tuesday 26th Jan 2016 '''
+
 
+
One of the message broker was in downtime for almost three days. Nagios probes picks up a random message broker and failover is not working so a lot of ops jobs hanged for long time. Its a known issue and unlikely to be fixed as SAM Nagios is in its last leg. Monitoring is moving to ARGO and many things are not clear at the moment.  
+
 
+
'''Monday 30th November'''
+
* The SAM/ARGO team has created a [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Service_Level_Target_-_Availability_Reliability document] describing Availability reliability calculation in ARGO tool.
+
 
+
  
 +
'''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 6 Oct 2015'''
 
  
Moved Gridppnagios instance back to Oxford from Lancaster. It was kind of double whammy as both sites went down together. Fortunately Oxford site was partially working so we managed to start SAM Nagios at Oxford. Sam tests were unavailable for few hours but no affect on egi availibilty/reliability. Sites can have a look at https://mon.egi.eu/myegi/ss/ for a/r status.
 
 
'''Tuesday 29 Sep 2015'''
 
 
Following an air-conditioning problem at machine room in Oxford Tier-2 site on 26 September, gridppnagios(OX) was shut down and gridppnagios(Lancs) became active instance. Oxford site is in downtime until 1st Oct and it may be extended depending on the situation.
 
VO-Nagios was also unavailable for two days but we have started it yesterday as it is running on a VM. VO-nagios is using oxford SE for replication test so it is failing those tests. I am looking to change to some other SE.

** RHUL: The largest problem was related to the SRM. The DPM version was upgraded and it took several weeks to get it working again (13 Jan onwards). Several short-lived occurrences of running out of space on the SRM for non-ATLAS VOs. For around 3 days (15-17 Jan) the site suffered from a DNS configuration error by their site network manager which removed their SRM from the DNS, causing external connections such as tests and transfers to fail. For one day (25 Jan) the site network was down for upgrade to the 10Gb link to JANET. Some unexpected problems occurred extending the interruption from an hour to a day. The link has been successfully commissioned.
+
 
+
** Lancaster: The ASAP metric for Lancaster for January is 97.5 %. There is a particular problem with ATLAS SAM tests which doesn’t affect the site activity in production and analysis and this relates to the path name being too long. A re-calculation has been performed.
+
 
+
** RALPP: Both CMS and LHCb low figures are due to specific CMS jobs overloading the site SRM head node. The jobs should have stopped now.

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.

  • 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.

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.
