* DPM Workshop last week - come to this week's storage meeting for an in-depth look.
−
* The PMB discussed the issues raised at last week's ops meeting regarding LHCONE and reiterate that the UK position is that we do not need to join LHCONE, though the technical issue of whether a peering point is possible is being investigated by JANET. The UK position will only change if there is a demonstrable need in this area and the experiments formally request it.

* The notified outage of the RAL top-BDII last week impacted other services such as Nagios in a way that could have been prevented. We must improve our change control and impact procedures within core ops. The approach will also be invoked when other (inter)nationally facing services are going to cause wider impacts (e.g. VOMS, DIRAC, website...).

−
* CMS: SAM test for glexec goes critical on May 15th. Reminder to sites to please deploy detailed xrootd monitoring. Started to send production workflows through mixture of multi-core and single-core pilots. FTS3 for Phedex Debug transfers becoming mandatory now.
 
−
* Some discussion on strategy for availability recalculation in case of failures or timeouts in submission of SAM jobs through gliteWMS, which do not necessarily affect production jobs.
 
−
* LHCb: Incremental stripping campaign finished, all productions closed. CASTOR->EOS migration of LHCb user data finished.
 
  
−

−
* SHA-2: New issue found for CERN VOMS - job submission to CREAM fails when the proxy is signed by a VOMS server with a SHA512 host certificate. Fix out soon. Sites will then need to update CEs. CMS has found no blocking issues with RFC proxie.
 
−
* WMS decom: CERN WMS instances for experiments have been switched off on May 5
 
−
* IPv6: HEPiX IPv6 meeting last week.  Also, lxplus-ipv6.cern.ch, an lxplus instance with dual-stack connectivity now available.

 +
* 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.

 +
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.

−
* Regional [https://gridppnagios.lancs.ac.uk/nagios Nagios] updated to release 22. It is a glite to UMD update and it required a fresh installation.
 
−
* There have been some internal changes in SAM-Nagios. Test probes are now the responsibility of product team. Some test names have been changed as a result of this reorganization.  For example the org.sam.CREAMCE-DirectJobSubmit test has become  emi.cream.CREAMCE-DirectJobSubmit.  This does not affect the operational activities.
 
−
* Please could all site admins look at services associated to their site and please mail Kashif if anything odd is noticed. Site admins can reschedule tests for their sites and it would be helpful if most functionalities are tested.
 
−
* Also, look at [https://gridppnagios.lancs.ac.uk/myegi/ myegi] which can be useful with links to the Dashboard, GSTAT, Accounting Portal and GGUS.

WLCG Operations Coordination - AgendasWiki Page

Tuesday 11th June

  • I got stuck (figuratively) in my machine room last Thursday afternoon so missed it. Agenda. Minutes. Ste was there - any observations?

Tuesday 14th May

  • Next meeting this Thursday.

Tuesday 9th April


Tuesday 26th March

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.

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.
Storage & Data Management - Agendas/Minutes

Wed 30 Oct

  • DOME upgrade problems at Edinburgh
  • Data management support/development for IRIS users

Wed 23 Oct

  • Rucio reporting

Wed 16 Oct

Monday 14th November

  • Alessandra has written an FAQ to extract numbers from ATLAS and APEL avoiding the SSB.

Monday 26th September

  • A problem with the APEL Pub and Sync tests developed last Tuesday and was resolved on Wednesday. This had a temporary impact on the accounting portal.
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.
