| |
| − | * There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting on [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes180118 18th January].
| |
| − | * Theere was a theme of SAM tests and their use in WLCG reporting. The short summary is that there is overwhelming support for use of SAM tests for operational benefits but there is often a gap between the SAM reports and experiment perceptions of site performance. One major concern was the effort required to recompute results given the number of requests where sites are trying to show even small improvements in their performance to their management/funders. A more useful measure would include a reference to job accounting. A proposal will be made to the MB. GridPP may make a statement to the WLCG MB regarding our management use.

| − | * There was a problem with the system that runs the tape library control software overnight Wed/Thu (24/25 Jan). Staff were called late Wednesday evening but were unable to get the system up then. Overnight we were unable to mount tapes - effectively blocking tape access (although writes to the disk buffers in front of tape, plus reads of any data in those buffers, carried on). The fault on the server was resolved Thursday morning and normal tape service resumed. | + | |
| − | * There is a problem on one of the BMS (Building Management System) in the R89 machine room that has had an intermittent fault. Work is ongoing to look at how to replace the faulty board in the system while ensuring the cooling carries on OK. | + | |

| − | * The Hyper-K VO has been enabled on the batch farm. | + | |

| | | | |
| − | '''Tuesday 9th Jan 2018'''
| + | https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs#VO_Resource_Requirements |
| − | Changes to Approved VOs.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | a) VOMS servers for planck, ipv6.hepix.org and enmr are now restored to as they were before the flooding at CNAF.
| + | '''Tue 2nd April 2019''' |
| − | b) The DN of a VOMS server for magic has changed.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
| + | Changes to Approved for DUNE (and LZ) |
| | | | |
| − | '''Tuesday 5th Sept 2017''' | + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | New Approved VO. SKA European regional data centre, skatelescope.eu
| + | 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. |
