'''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].
* Since last Wednesday there have been some problems with the control software for the tape library crashing. We have put in place various mitigations (e.g. a re-starter) and the system has worked through the weekend. The vendor is coming in tomorrow (Wed) to fix a couple of hardware faults on the library.
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* "GEN Scratch" storage in Castor will be decommissioned. This has been announced via an EGI broadcast. Write Access to this area was disabled last week - ahead of full withdrawal in a few weeks time.
+
* One of our three WMS systems (lcgwms06) will be decommissioned. It will stop accepting work tomorrow, 1st June.
+
* Migration of Atlas data from the T10000C to T10000D drives/media is ongoing. Around 400 out of a total of 1300 tapes now done.
+
* One of the two batches of new CPU capacity went into production last week.
+
* Reminder: CernVM Users Workshop at RAL on the 6-8 June 2016.
+
* Reminder: HEP SYSMAN at RAL 21-23 June. The first day being a Security training day. See: http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/sysman/june2016/main.html

 +
* 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.

* New Approved VOs published; icecube and fermilab
+
''' 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.
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
'''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.

* Apr 18: 1 x VOMS server. port 15003, names: voms.fnal.gov (opensciencegrid, admin). Caused by a hitch with security that caused the omission of some data. GGUS: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120925. Fixed.

So, similar to how it was in feb, but DNs (and CA_DNs) of 2 certs changed. But other things to note:
 
* Alessandra tells us that further changes are pending.
 
* Daniela tells us that data at the server itself is old, and differs from data in the portal:  https://voms1.fnal.gov:8443/voms/lsst/configuration/configuration.action
 
  
Please discuss.

'''Monday 6th June 2016, 14.00 BST'''<br />
 
35 Open UK Tickets this month - I'll format these properly before the meeting, I promise.
 
 
NGI<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121987<br />
 
The NGI's very urgent reponse times for May weren't up to par - a dug into the reason why and updated the ticket. In progress (6/6)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119995 (7/3)<br />
 
Uncertified NGS sites to clear up - Jeremy has been on it. In Progress (17/5)
 
 
SUSSEX<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118289 (10/12/15)<br />
 
Pilot ticket - Jeremy M thought he had got it, but Daniela's tests say otherwise (although the errors look like the CE playing up). In progress (26/5)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121797 (26/5)<br />
 
Sno+ dirac jobs failing at Sussex - looks like the same problem as above. No word from the site - I'll poke Jeremy M offline. Assigned (26/5)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120735 (11/4)<br />
 
Low availability ROD ticket. Hopefully Sussex will have a clear month. On Hold (6/6)
 
 
OXFORD<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121641 (18/5)<br />
 
Wrong capacities reported in REBUS - this ball has landed in Oxford's court, with Pete G looking at the SE publishing. Assigned (I set it In Progress) (3/6)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121924 (2/6)<br />
 
An interesting ticket from Duncan, concerning a drop in perfsonar throughput performance at Oxford. Still just Assigned (2/6)
 
 
BRISTOL<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120455 (29/3)<br />
 
Validation of a new HTCondor CE at Bristol by CMS. At last check Bristol were testing the CERN accounting daemon, but that was a few weeks ago. Any news? In progress (9/5)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121989 (6/6)<br />
 
Super-fresh ROD ticket (.glexec.CREAMCE-JobSubmit tests). Assigned (6/6)
 
 
BIRMINGHAM<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121125 (28/4)<br />
 
Missing ATLAS SE dumps. At last check Matt W was having troubles with xrdcp-ing the dumps into his DPM, Alessandra suggested that others succeeded using rfcp (with the caveat that rfcp might not be around much longer). In progress (1/6)
 
 
GLASGOW<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120135 (11/3)<br />
 
HTTP support ticket. Any news? An update would be nice, no matter how vacuous. On holding the ticket would be even better. In progress (7/4)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121929 (2/6)<br />
 
Glasgow's SE "not working" for Biomed- which it isn't meant to - but biomed support was still being published. Gareth is sorting that out, and will close the ticket once the Biomed references are purged. All good. In progress (3/3)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120351 (22/3)<br />
 
Enabling LSST at Glasgow. I'll repeat Alessandra's question in the ticket - any news? On hold (5/5)
 
 
EDINBURGH<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121465 (11/5)<br />
 
ROD Availability ticket, just waiting for time to pass. On hold (31/5)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121990 (6/6)<br />
 
BDII issues caused a few ROD test failures - Marcus fixed things around lunchtime, hopefully they heal up soon (to answer Marcus's question, I believe BDII changes typically take 2-3 hours to fully propagate). In progress (6/6)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120004 (7/3)<br />
 
ROD test failures for the ARCHER test CE. The last update has Andy asking if the ticket could be put on "long term hold"? That's if someone can't manually edit the gocdb to set this service "Monitored=N, Production=Y". On hold (24/5)
 
 
SHEFFIELD<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121991 (6/6)<br />
 
A fresh ROD ticket, srm tests were failing. Elena freed up some space and things should be good now. Waiting for reply (6/6)
 
 
LIVERPOOL<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121759 (25/5)<br />
 
Another Availability ROD ticket. John identified the cause as likely due to the DPM publishing problems after a cert upgrade (that's got me too before). Just needs time to heal these wounds now. On hold (27/5)
 
 
RHUL<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121575 (16/5)<br />
 
Yet another availability ticket (May was not kind to the UK). Likely needs On Holding whilst the metrics "fix" themselves - if the underlying problems have passed. In progress (16/5)
 
 
QMUL<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120352 (22/3)<br />
 
LSSt support at QM. Dan reports today that LSST should be enabled on three CEs. Nice one. Waiting for testing. (6/6)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120204 (15/3)<br />
 
LHCB problems, due to an issue submitting jobs to dual stack CEs from CERN. The referenced issue (120586) has had a priority bump and a few extra parties cc'd in, so hopefully there will be some movement on it. On Hold (25/4)
 
 
BRUNEL<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121573 (16/5)<br />
 
ROD BDII issue ticket - possibly due to multiple site BDIIs (although I was under the same impression as Daniela). Kashif has opened a related ticket (https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121760 which Raul commented on today to asj for confirmation the issues are related). On hold (27/5)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121813 (27/5)<br />
 
Brunel failing CMS validation - likely due to cvmfs playing up on two nodes. The ticket has turned a conversation on CMS site settings, and seems to be chugging along fine. In progress (6/6)
 
 
EFDA-JET<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121899 (1/6)<br />
 
Low availability JET ticket. Assigned (1/6)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121837 (30/5)<br />
 
JET SE not working for biomed. I thought that JET stopped supporting Biomed a while ago, I'll need to check my notes. Assigned (30/5)
 
 
100IT<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121189 (2/5)<br />
 
A ticket I don't understand! Waiting for reply (16/5)
 
 
TIER 1<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=119841 (1/3)<br />
 
HTTP support at the Tier 1 - on hold awaiting dev support. On Hold (26/4)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121687 (20/5)<br />
 
Another perfsonar performance ticket from Duncan. A router that could be the cause is due to be replaced, things will be looked into in more detail after. On hold (23/5)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=121894 (1/6)<br />
 
A request for the Tier 1's plans to deploy a "LHCOPN IPv6 Peering, incl. dualstack Perfsonar". The upcoming router replacement is a blocker for this. In progress (1/6)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120810 (13/4)<br />
 
Biomed requiring a bit of extra reassurance during the decommissioning of their volume. In progress (20/6)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=120350 (22/3)<br />
 
Enabling LSST at RAL. Things were looking good, but it looks like progress stalled rolling out the VO to the workers (aka the hard bit). Any news? In progress (6/5)

* Please review the results on [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ Steve's test pages].
  
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.

'''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 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 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.

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.

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.
