* LSST: submission from panda is now working at Lancs, Manc and RAL. The plan (only sketched for now) is to run a data challenge. GridPP is behind this and said we should give a high priority to this effort. At the moment the initial plan is to use 16,000 cores for a month. This is a significant chunk of resources and will require organisation and much testing to get it running smoothly. Though using panda LSST doesn't have all the resubmission features ATLAS has, they also use the storage tools slightly differently privileging xrootd which is not as well supported as gridftp.

* The SOAP interface to the FTS3 service has been stopped on Monday 17th July. This will allow us to update FTS3 to the latest version.
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* Castor unavailable during morning of 25th July for OS patching.
+
* EGI have announced withdrawal of support for the WMS at the end of 2017 (as announced elsewhere).
+
* A test Centos7 queue has been enabled on one of our CEs.
+
* A test gateway to Echo ceph-test-gw691.gridpp.rl.ac.uk) has been made dual stack and test transfers have been shown to work over IPv6 to/from CERN.
+
* Data is flowing from the Dirac Leicester site - reaching a peak transfer rate of around 1Gbit/sec.

 +
* 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 16th April 2019'''
As part of the process of moving everything to Centos7 (or some other form of RHEL7), I've written up how we build nodes at Liverpool for our ARC/Condor system.
+
  
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Centos7_Adoption
+
Minor change to LHCB requirements in Approved VOs:
  
I hope it's also a decent cheatsheet for Puppet3/Hiera. It's a draft, and I need to put in some more details, but it should be usable.
+
* Sites having migrated to the Centos7 (including "Cern Centos7") operating system or  later versions are requested to provide support for singularity containers.
  
'''Tue 7th Mar'''
+
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs#VO_Resource_Requirements
  
I want to get rid of following stale docs...
+
'''Tue 2nd April 2019'''
  
* Ten Easy Network Questions
+
Changes to Approved for DUNE (and LZ)
* GridPP Answers to 10 Easy Network Questions
+
* SL5 status
+
* Glasgow Middleware Operations Logbook
+
* London Tier2 Shares
+
* 23rd June 2010 Special Topic: NGS Technical Roadmap - Pete Gronbech
+
* SAM availability: Monthly summary table
+
* Transfer Tests Birmingham Endpoints
+
* EVO Tips and Tricks
+
* BaBar: bbrbsub270
+
  
'''Monday 13th Feb'''
+
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.
* Please check the keydocs page. Would all owners please review their pages and prepare a short note on how they will bring things up-to-date in the coming months. This will be discussed at a core ops meeting (poll to be circulated shortly).
+
* There are several EGI operations document updates out for review. Please make comments to Jeremy by 20th Febraury for inclusion in the UK feedback:
+
** - Resource Centre OLA https://documents.egi.eu/document/31
+
** - Resource Infrastructure Provider OLA https://documents.egi.eu/document/463
+
** - Corporate-level EGI OLA https://documents.egi.eu/document/2752
+
  
 +
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
  
'''Monday 30th January'''
+
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.
  
The fusion VO has been removed from GridPP Approved VOs.
+
Sites with DUNE services need to update using whatever method they employ.
  
'''Monday 9th January'''
+
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.

The Imperial GridPP module now has integrated testing. It was also noted that every dirac instance has it's own special module to adapt to their community on top of main dira.

29 Open UK Tickets this week.
 
  
'''QM SE having a spot of bother?'''<br />

32 Open Tickets this week, which is an in depth a look as I've been able to take.
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129692 129692] - LHCB<br />
+
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129684 129684] - Atlas<br />

'''Atlas Jobs at Sheffield'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129054 129054] (19/6)<br />
 
Atlas multicore jobs seemingly being killed by the batch system at Sheffield. Elena narrowed the failures down to a single task, suggesting the jobs were doing something weird - which isn't the first time we've seen a dodgey batch of jobs recently. But following the panda link it looks like these errors are persisting. In progress (21/6)

[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124052 124052] (25/9/2015)<br />
 
Vladimir replied today that the attempted fix didn't work for svr009. However he didn't answer any of the other questions. Perhaps talking to Raja or Andrew directly in the meeting tomorrow will help clear things up? In progress (24/7)

  • 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.

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.
