<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->
 
<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->

 +
* 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.

SJ: Changes to approved VOs, to discuss.
+
''' Tue 9th July 2019'''
  
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
+
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.
 +
 
 +
Ste
  
* DTEAM CA_DN changed
 
* CDF voms.fnal DN changed (contains 'voms2')
 
* DZERO voms.fnal DN changed (contains 'voms2')
 
* LSST Duplication (voms1.fnal.gov) removed, by converting it to voms.fnal.gov. Also corresponding changes to admin servers.
 
* Changes to Resource Requirements for icecube (HW+cvmfs), na62 (HW+cvmfs) and zeus.
 
  
'''Friday 27th May'''
+
'''Tuesday 5th Mar 2019'''
* New Approved VOs published; icecube and fermilab
+
New VOMs details for Biomed:
 
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
 
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
  
'''Tuesday 17th May'''
+
New VOMs rpms to match.
* TW implementing use-cases summary matrix according to these:
+
** CERN@school - LUCID (full workflow with DIRAC)
+
** GalDyn (full workflow with DIRAC)
+
** PRaVDA (full workflow with DIRAC)
+

For enmr, certificate of voms-02.pd.infn.it
  
Statement on recent history of LSST VOMS records. To be discussed at Ops Meeting.
+
New DN: /DC=org/DC=terena/DC=tcs/C=IT/L=Frascati/O=Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare/CN=voms-02.pd.infn.it,
 +
New CA_DN: /C=NL/ST=Noord-Holland/L=Amsterdam/O=TERENA/CN=TERENA eScience SSL CA 3
 +
 
 +
Please check approved VOs: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
  
* Feb 16: 3 x VOMS servers, port 1503, names: voms.fnal.gov (DigiCert-Grid, admin), voms1.fnal.gov (DigiCert-Grid, not admin), voms2.fnal.gov (opensciencegrid , admin).
 
* 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.
 
* Apr 21: 3 x VOMS servers, port 15003, names: voms.fnal.gov (opensciencegrid, admin), voms1.fnal.gov  (opensciencegrid, not admin), voms2.fnal.gov opensciencegrid admin
 
  
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.

Tickets from atlas trying to get the last few sites that don't seem to have xroot or webdav working or advertised (the Sheffield one looks like just a misconfiguration).

+
* The WLCG dashboard is available here: http://dashboard.cern.ch/.  
Central ARGO monitoring service  has started from 1st of July. All grid resources are monitored through two Nagios instances
+
* Please review the results on [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ Steve's test pages].
 
+
https://argo-mon.egi.eu/nagios/
+
 
+
https://argo-mon2.egi.eu/nagios/
+
 
+
It has same interface as gridppnagios. Alarms from these instances goes to Operational Dashboard
+
 
+
http://argo.egi.eu/ is a web interface which provides availability/reliability figures and site status. It is equivalent of old myegi interface with some additional services.
+
 
+
I am planning to decommission both instances of gridppnagios in coming weeks. I have stopped nagios  and httpd on both instances so it will not send tests to grid resources in UK.  I will also decommission storage-monit.physics.ox.ac.uk which was only used for storage replication test.
+
 
+
We will keep vo-nagios.physics.ox.ac.uk running until we get a replacement for vo-monitoring.
+
 
+
 
+
'''Monday 13th June'''
+
* Active Nagios instance moved to Lancaster

''' Tuesday 5th April 2016 '''

'''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.
  
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 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.

** 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.

  • 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.
