* Bristol suggests it is seeing connection problems mostly, but not exclusively, to US sites.
 
* The [https://gocdb-test.esc.rl.ac.uk/portal/ GOCDB test server] has been updated to [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/GOCDB/Release4/Development/MultipleEndpointsPerService v5.3].
 
* GOCDB has received a new service type request for ‘egi.Perun’.  As required by the lightweight EGI review process, we are required to respond with any suggestions/issues before 14th August. Perun is used by the EGI Fed Cloud to manage users access rights to cloud services. Therefore, every cloud VO needs to be supported by Perun, this is why it has been requested to be properly registered and then monitored.
 
* LHCb have reported that the dCache problems they have seen recently do not seem to have any correlation with a particular dCache version. Even different endpoints in the same site could fail or work OK. This is all related to xrootd endpoints and some sites have solved the issues that seem to be caused by misconfigurations on their site.
 
* GridPP will receive some RIPE probes for distribution - note there is now a waiting list for UK based requests.

'''Tuesday 5th August'''
 
* There was an EGI Operations Management Board (OMB) [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2191 meeting last week]. Several UK  issues (VO DM/job approaches, NFS area futures and availability alarm handling) were input for discussion, but due to the tight agenda will be reviewed at the next EGI ops meeting.
 
* Some things to note from the OMB (see also the [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/getFile.py/access?resId=0&materialId=minutes&confId=2191 meeting minutes]):
 
** Editing of the the EGI wiki is now EGI members (SSO) and on request.
 
** A reminder to keep GOCDB information up-to-date - it is used to populate various tools.
 
** A federated [https://documents.egi.eu/public/ShowDocument?docid=2114  cloud security survey] is in progress.
 
** There is an EGI [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2160 Big Data conference 24th-26th September].
 
** Resource requests - 19 pools registered. 13 available for allocation. It is a brokering service only. There is one request in the system for cloud resources.
 
** There is a new [https://documents.egi.eu/public/ShowDocument?docid=31 draft Resource Centre OLA] for comment till 15th August. Updates coming for Technical Policy, User and EGI.eu SLAs. Refer to the [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Performance performance wiki page] for a chart showing relevance.
 
** A monthly release of the Ops portal following 1 week testing and input from TAG has been proposed.
 
** SAM probes Task Force has been setup to assess the support status of probes and improve documentation. An initial [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/SAM_Nagios_probes_refactoring_TF#Identified_Issues list of issues] is available.
 
** There are plans for VAPOR - combined Vo Administration and operations PORtal. There is a [https://operations-portal.egi.eu/vapor/ prototype] available.

+
* For the September MB we have been asked for ideas on improving operational efficiency within WLCG.
+
  
'''Tuesday 29th July'''
+
* I got stuck (figuratively) in my machine room last Thursday afternoon so missed it. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/823800/ Agenda.] [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes190606 Minutes.] Ste was there - any observations?
* There was a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/326084/ WLCG coordination meeting] last Thursday.  [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes140724 Minutes] are available.
+
* News: MB agreed gstat no longer supported. Notes from WLCG workshop available.
+
* Baseline: Changes FTS3 v3.2.26; DPM 1.8.8; perfSONAR 3.3.2-17; Storm 1.11.4.
+
* Baseline: Issues: “Missing Key Usage Extension in delegated proxy” affecting CREAM; dCache upgrade; EOS (Brazilian proxies). Tickets for CVMFS upgrade to 2.1.19.
+
* Tier-2 – feedback from GridPP given. CVMFS monitoring, gstat and ARGUS-SE status.
+
* ALICE: Very high to low throughput due to input tasks. ALICE site admins to note VOMS changes
+
* ATLAS: issues related to the new ATLAS frameworks commissioning/integration. Using MCORE and want more. under discussion within ATLAS new way of measure the availability of the sites, through their availability for analysis.
+
* CMS: Busy. CAS2014 soon target 40k concurrent jobs. Want to make xrootd-fallback test critical. Removal individual release tags from CEs. 5 site reminders.
+
* LHCb: Access to lcg-voms2 and voms2 from outside CERN are timing out. re-curring problem after upgrade of dCache sites. [http://dashb-lhcb-ssb.cern.ch/dashboard/request.py/siteview?view=CVMFS#currentView=CVMFS CVMFS clients not all upgraded]. Question - What happens to VM if it fails and needs reinstantiation. Lose the cores? No.
+
* Tracking tools: Recommendation to close TF.
+
* FTS3: Only a few CMS sites running over FTS2. Can now monitor FTS3 transfers against user DN (needed by CRAB3)
+
* Glexec: no change. Some running unreleased rpms due to ARGUS status. Someone needs to pledge effort to support ARGUS. SWITCH unable pledge effort. 
+

 +
* 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:
 +
 
 +
* 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.

* Chris noted yesterday that [http://gstat2.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gstat/summary/Country/UK/ gstat] reports most sites as critical. SB thought the underlying problem is that a value is supposed to be "Production" in GLUE 1 and "production" in GLUE 2; at some point they changed both to lower case.

* A fairly quiet week. Site availability alerts is a bit of a pain - there are open "Rod notepad" entries for each but no tickets created. Closing the alarms but they reappear each day. The UCL case is steadily improving and Durham are still moving stuff to a new server room so the situation will persist for them.

20 Open UK tickets this week.
 
 
'''CSIRT Site Security Checks'''<br />
 
Master ticket: [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107538  107538](7/8)
 
 
Jeremy has been submitting tickets to site security e-mails addresses to test that they're all working. Most seem to be present and correct, but on the not-yet-replied pile we have:<br />
 
'''SUSSEX''' ([https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107545 107545])<br />
 
'''EFDA-JET''' ([https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107551 107551])<br />
 
'''CAMBRIDGE''' ([https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107558 107558])
 
 
It could be that the sites in question have everyone on holiday, or that the site security contact address is a generic one for the University and someone at the other end is wondering what in the name of Odin's beard a GGUS ticket is.
 
 
In the event that that any of these three saw the ticket's here first rather then through the proper channels please, please can you check your lines of communication rather then treating this like any other ticket.
 
 
'''SHEFFIELD'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107217 107217](24/7)<br />
 
The information publishing on one of Elena's CEs seems to have spontaneously broken (as I found Torque and Maui to be wont to do). If anyone has had their CE's suddenly start publishing all the 4s for their job numbers recently then I'm sure any help would be appreciated. In progress (6/8)
 
 
'''BRISTOL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106554 106554](29/6)<br />
 
As seen from TB-SUPPORT, Bristol are having networking problems - especially with regards to the US. Lukasz and Winne are working at it, but the submitter (and maybe CMS) seems to be losing patience (unfairly). In progress (6/8)
 
 
'''TIER 1'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106615 106615](2/7)<br />
 
Decommissioning of the FTS2 service. Gareth sent out a broadcast - https://operations-portal.in2p3.fr/broadcast/archive/id/1187 Preparation are well underway. In progress (11/8)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106324 106324](18/6)<br />
 
The RAL counterpart to Bristol's  [https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106325 106325] (cms pilots losing contact to their submission hosts), it looks like this problem still persists as well. A mixup between RALPP and Bristol on the CMS end (and not for the first time) meant that CMS didn't answer RAL's question (which was do you see the same problem at RALPP too?). Still Waiting for reply (7/8)
 
  
 +
32 Open Tickets this week, which is an in depth a look as I've been able to take.

'''Monday 20th November'''

* The WLCG dashboard is available here: http://dashboard.cern.ch/.  
Winnie reported on Saturday 12th July that most of the UK sites are failing nagios test. Problem started with unscheduled power cut at a Greek site hosting EGI Message broker (mq.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr) around 2PM on 11th July. Message broker was put in downtime but topbdii's continued to publish it for quite long time.  Stephen Burke mentioned in TB support thread that now default caching time is 4 days. When I checked on Monday morning only Manchester was still publishing mq.afroditi and it went away after Alessandra manually restarted top bdii. It seams that Imperial is configured with much shorter cache time.
+
* Please review the results on [http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ Steve's test pages].
Only Oxford and Imperial was almost not affected and the reason may be that Oxford WN's have Imperial top bdii as first option in BDII_LIST. Other NGI's have reported same problem and this outage is likely to be considered when calculating availability/reliability. All Nagios tests came back to normal now.  
+
 
+
Emir reported this on tools-admin mailing list
+
"We were planning to raise this issue at the next Operations meeting. In these extreme cases 24h cache rule in Top BDII has to be somehow circumvented."     
+
  
'''Tuesday 1st July'''
+
'''Tuesday 18th July'''
* There was a monitoring problem on 26th June. All ARC CE's were using storage-monit.phyics.ox.ac.uk for replicating files as part of the nagios testing. storage-monit was updated but not re-yaimed until later.  Storage-monit was broken for the morning leading to all ARC SRM tests failing.
+
* 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 24th June'''
 
* An update from Janusz on DIRAC:
 
* We had a stupid bug in Dirac which affected the gridpp VO and storage. Now it is fixed and I was able to successfully upload a test file to Liverpool and register the file with the DFC
 
* The async FTS is still under study, there some issues with this.
 
*I have a link to software to sync user database from a VOMS server, haven’t looked into this in detail yet.

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.
