'''Tuesday 25th November'''
 
* There was a WLCG ops meeting last Thursday. The [https://indico.cern.ch/event/341737/ agenda] and [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes141120 minutes] are linked here. Highlights for easier digestion:
 
  
* News: ARGUS future workshop in December. WLCG survey pending web form update.
 
* Middleware: WLCG repository is now signed.
 
* Baselines: UMD 3.9.0 - gfal2, BDII, WN and UI updates.
 
* MW issues: RHEL6.6 kernel fuse bug affecting CVMFS NFS installations. Recommend all sites with this type of installation to not upgrade to SL6.6. gridftp logging too verbose on DPM 1.8.9 - wait to upgrade as also publishes webDAV while EGI ops probes SRM.
 
* T0 & T1 updates: Some dCache upgrades to 2.10.10. CERN move to FTS v3.2.30.
 
* Oracle: CERN upgrades ongoing.
 
* T0 news: myproxy.cern.ch will be upgraded to 6.0-2 on Tuesday, November 25th. VO feedback sought on voms-admin test instance - move in January? voms.cern.ch and lcg-voms.cern.ch to be replaced by voms2.cern.ch and lcg-voms2.cern.ch on Wednesday November 26th.
 
** VOMRS registration page (https://lcg-voms.cern.ch:8443/vo/{vo-name}/vomrs) will remain in lcg-voms.cern.ch.
 
* Tier-1 news: NDGF-T1 2 new tape systems are getting deployed (Oslo and Copenhagen).
 
* Tier-2 news: NTR
 
* ALICE: High activity. RAL ARC CEs direct submission work in progress.
 
* ATLAS: ATLAS Central Service status (migration to AI) ongoing. ProdSys2 and Rucio migration timeline agreed - ramping up but stopping the prodys1 so low no of jobs for next ~2weeks.
 
* CMS: Various tests ongoing (VOMS; data transfer; tape...). Moving CRAB and central production into a single global Condor pool. Reminder of site config requests.
 
* LHCb: MC and user jobs in the last 2 weeks. Stripping 21 validation revealed a problem and delayed the start of the campaign.
 
* glexec: in PanDA testing ongoing - some issues.
 
* Machine/job features: NTR
 
* Middleware readiness: Following technical discussions between the MW Package Reporter and Pakiti developers and the WLCG and EGI Security responsibles, a technical solution of common agreement was adopted by which each site will be given the option to enable pakiti only, the Package Reporter or both. Thus security concerns are addressed and the site independence is respected. A release along these lines is expected during the 1st quarter 2015.
 
* Multicore: Passing parameters to batch systems [https://indico.cern.ch/event/272779/session/0/contribution/8/material/slides/0.pdf reviewed at GDB by Alessandra]. Capabilities recorded in [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/BSPassingParameters this table]. A [http://indico.cern.ch/event/336243/contribution/3/material/slides/0.pdf report on accounting given to MB by Alessandra]. See recommendations.
 
* SHA-2:  the old servers can be used until November 26th, 14:00 UTC. The maximum proxy lifetime for the old servers will be as low as 2 days and by then the old VOMS ports will refuse connections.
 
* IPv6: NTR
 
* Squid Mon & HTTP proxy discovery: Alistair working on updates.
 
* Network & transfer metrics: 107 instances updated to 3.4.1 following the WLCG and EGI broadcasts. Starting validation of 3.4.1 instances.
 
* Next meeting 4th December.

 +
* 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.

LHCb has added this to their requirements:
* New section in Wiki called "Project Management Pages".
+
The idea is to cluster all Self-Edited Site Tracking Tables
+
in here. Sites should keep entries in [[Current Activities]]
+
up to date. Once a Self-Edited Site Tracking Tables has
+
served its purpose, PM to move it to [[Historical Archive]]
+
or otherwise dispose of the table.
+

Sites not having an SRM installation must provide:

* disk only storage

* a GRIDFPT endpoint (a single dns entry)
** Do we want to complete and update [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Core_Grid_services this wiki page on core grid services]?

* an XROOT endpoint (a single dns entry)
** What about [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/BDII this page on the BDII]?

* a way to do the accounting (preferably following the WLCG TF standard: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/StorageSpaceAccounting)
* Are there documents missing that we should create?

''' Tue 16th April 2019'''
* Keydocs were reviewed at the core-ops meeting last week. The situation with updates is improving.
+
* Main GridPP website expected to use Wordpress with a plug-in to cover the gridsite aspects.
+
  
 +
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.

'''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.

'''Monday 1st December 2014, 14.30 GMT'''<br />
 
34 Open UK Tickets this month. Quite a few of them are from Duncan, asking sites to please reinstall their perfsonar hosts.
 
 
'''THE CA'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110484 110484](1/12)<br />
 
Simon F ticketed the CA concerning a possible problem with the ticket reminder system. JK has responded with a reply, and asked that similar tickets in the future use the helpdesk at support@grid-support.ac.uk rather then GGUS (and definitely don't use both!). He's looking into it at his end, and has asked Simon to check the spam filters. Assigned (should be In Progress?) (1/12) ''Update - in progress now, and Jens has been roped in to the ticket as well - there was a problem after all (see JK's email).''
 
 
'''SUSSEX'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110389 110389](26/11)<br />
 
Duncan has reminded Matt RB to reinstall his Perfsonar with the latest release. Matt reckons he'll get to this the first half of this week. Nothing more to say. In Progress (26/11)
 
 
'''BRISTOL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110365 110365](25/11)<br />
 
Another perfsonar ticket, Bristol's perfsonar seems ill, but Duncan gave the URL for the Sheffield perfsonar. Probably just a copy and paste error when he wrote the ticket though. In progress (26/11) ''Update - Winnie confirms that the perfsonar has been reinstalled, poked and prodded. Things are still off with the box, and the site firewall admins are being consulted - but if it isn't a firewall problem Winnie would appreciate assistance debugging the problem.''
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106325 106325](18/6)<br />
 
CMS pilots losing connection at Bristol. The Bristol admins are still looking at this, and the problems are still happening. They've asked some questions (which likely will need a ticket status switch), and have tried disabling IPv6 on their workers for the time being to cross another factor off the list. On Hold (27/11)
 
 
'''BIRMINGHAM'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110388 110388](26/11)<br />
 
Duncan has also asked Birmingham to update their perfsonar boxen- no reply from Matt or Mark yet. Maybe they missed the ticket. Assigned (26/11)
 
 
'''GLASGOW'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110387 110387](26/11)<br />
 
Another request to upgrade perfsonar boxes. Gareth has replied, hopefully it'll get done this week. In progress (26/11)
 
 
'''ECDF'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110386 110386](26/11)<br />
 
The Edinburgh "please upgrade your Perfsonar" ticket. Wahid has replied with the ECDF stance on perfsonar, and put the ticket On Hold. On Hold (26/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95303 95303](1/7/13)<br />
 
ECDF's glexec tarball ticket. Same position as last month I'm afraid. On Hold (29/8)
 
 
'''DURHAM'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108273 108273](5/9)<br />
 
Durham's perfsonar results going just plain weird. The Durham chaps have reinstalled their perfsonar, but as expected things are still odd. Hope to test a new routing arrangement later this week. Is that still on course? On hold (12/11)
 
 
'''MANCHESTER'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110457 110457](29/11)<br />
 
Atlas have ticketed Manchester about the same issue again (see 110366), which boils down to lost files not being able to be declared lost due to the rucio migration. Not much that can be done Manchester side until the file deletion service is back up at full swing- On Hold the ticket? In progress (1/12)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110225 110225](18/11)<br />
 
A ticket for the voms service host at Manchester, detailing the change in VO manager for vo.helios-vo.eu. Bit of confusion with the new VO manager's certificate to be used for this, this ticket might need some shepherding, perhaps even On Holding if it gets too close to Christmas. In Progress (21/11)
 
 
'''LIVERPOOL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110391 110391](26/11)<br />
 
Atlas have noticed that the Liverpool DPM has some kind of webdav access problem, browsing works but downloads didn't. This was on purpose as a security, but John enabled http access offsite from the disk nodes. There was some discussion in the ticket about http/https access within DPM, but I suspect this ticket is done unless these points need to be thrashed out a bit. In progress (26/11)
 
 
'''LANCASTER'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110482 110482](1/12)<br />
 
I upgraded my DPM to 1.8.9, and all I got was this ticket! Lancaster's failing the second half of the getTURL test due to what I believe is an incompatibility with the latest DPM version and the SAM tests (and I wasn't rolling back to pass nagios tests!). Waiting on a new set of tests to be rolled out. On Hold (1/12)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=100566 100566](27/1)<br />
 
Lancaster's bad perfsonar performance ticket. No win after upgrading to the latest perfsonar, hope to run some other tests in the pre-Christmas quiet period.
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95299 95299](1/7/2013)<br />
 
Lancaster's glexec tarball ticket. No news - my hope is to work on this in the two week per-Christmas quiet period, same as our perfsonar problem. On Hold (14/11)
 
 
'''UCL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110442 110442](28/11)<br />
 
Atlas have noticed transfer problems to UCL. Ben is trying to investigate, and Wahid is lending a hand. In Progress (28/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110384 110384](26/11)<br />
 
UCL's "please reinstall your perfsonar" ticket. In progress (26/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110358 110358](25/11)<br />
 
Nagios ticket for UCL, concerning glexec test failures. Ben has replied that he is trying to debug their glexec installation. In progress (28/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95298 95298](1/7/13)<br />
 
UCL's glexec ticket. Ben's working on it, but the site got hit by problems last week. In progress (24/11)
 
 
'''QMUL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110353 110353](25/11)<br />
 
Another atlas httpd access ticket, although this one is quite different from the Liverpool one as it appears they are trying from within a job. I don't think this has been noticed by the QM chaps yet. Assigned (25/11) ''Update - In Progress now, Dan's checking if https should be working. Elena has involved uk cloud support.''
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107880 107880](26/8)<br />
 
The not-really-a-QM problem snoplus/suse/srmcp ticket. We discussed how to handle this last week, but no news - it seems we're waiting for Matt M to re-engage? Waiting for reply (20/11)
 
 
'''BRUNEL'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110383 110383](26/11)<br />
 
Brunel's "please reinstall your perfsonar" ticket. Raul is on it. In progress (26/11)
 
 
'''EFDA-JET'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=97485 97485](21/9/13)<br />
 
The Jet LHCB job failure ticket. If ever there was a candidate for setting a ticket to unsolved, this is it. On Hold (1/10)
 
 
'''100IT'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108356 108356](10/9)<br />
 
Our commercial cloud site's vmcatcher ticket. After Owen's help it looks like things are on the up, but the images still aren't being published. An interesting link was posted with the instructions how to do that. In progress (28/11)
 
 
'''THE TIER 1'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=106324 106324](18/6)<br />
 
CMS Pilots losing connectivity at RAL, sister to the Bristol ticket. Not much news, but Andrew L has a plan to discuss the problem with the HTCondor devs at CERN when he's there. On Hold (27/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109694 109694](28/10)<br />
 
Sno+ not being able to copy files out of RAL with the gfal tools. It appears to be a non-snoplus specific gfal problem. Perhaps an install problem with wrong versions of gfal2-utils? Andrew L is going to contact the gfal2 devs for help. On hold (26/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=107935 107935](27/8)<br />
 
Inconsistant published BDII/SRM storage numbers. Has been discussed recently in the Ops meeting, a conversation is ongoing with the Castor devs about this, but there wasn't much noise from them at last check. The ticket could do with a mini-update, even if it's "nothing to see here, move along". On Hold (3/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109276 109276](11/10)<br />
 
Some CMS users having trouble with the RAL FTS REST web interface. Everything seems to be fixed now, so it looks like this ticket can be closed. In progress (27/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110397 110397](26/11)<br />
 
Duncan has ticketed the Tier 1 regarding not being able to access the LFC via his browser. Catalin confirmed that the problem was occurring for him for his non-dteam identities. Things seem to be working for Chris though. How goes it? In progress (27/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=109712 109712](29/10)<br />
 
CMS glexec errors at the Tier 1. Andrew is back on the case, but needs to test things out first before rolling them out. In progress (27/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 108944](1/10)<br />
 
Another CMS ticket, this time AAA tests failing at RAL. Andrew L asked for the testing scripts so that RAL can test themselves - Duncan provided a link that will help point the way. In progress (26/11)
 
 
[https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=110382 110382](26/11)<br />
 
And the last ticket, the Tier 1's "please upgrade your perfsonar" ticket. In progress (26/11)

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.

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.
