 +
* 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.

'''Tuesday 17th March'''
 
* Documents reviewed at core-ops meeting last week. Agreed to remove 4 documents and add 2 (tarball status).
 
  
'''Tuesday 3rd March'''
 
* Proposals for about 4 keydocs to be removed/downgraded. For discussion at next core-ops or focus meeting.
 
  
'''Tuesday 24th February'''
+
'''General note'''
* Question of where to direct new VOs. [http://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/registrationWelcome EGI welcome page]?
+
  
* New section in Wiki called "Project Management Pages".
+
See the [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/keydocs?sort=reviewed worst KeyDocs list] for documents needing review now and the names of the responsible people.
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.

''Fresh in this morning - [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113010 113010] and [https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113011 113011] - Sno+ tickets concerning the RAL and Glasgow WMSes not updating job statuses.''
 
 
'''RALPP'''<br />
 
[https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111703 111703](11/2)<br />
 
Atlas glexec hammercloud tests failing. There's been a lot of waiting on atlas to build new HC jobs. The most recent exchange (delayed due to Easter), was asking about SELinux - but no news since the first. In progress (1/4)

Another ROD ticket for bdii errors at Glasgow. Gareth has been doing everything right investigating this. Kashif recommended ticketed the midmon unit, but Gareth has spotted that the errors correspond to high load on their ARC CE - so it might be a site problem after all - Gareth asks for clarification.

Deploying vmcatcher at 100IT. After David's questions falling on deaf ears for a while it has been advised that the ticket be closed as this issue will be dealt with elsewhere. Whether or not it is to be "solved" or "unsolved" is open to debate! In progress (can possibly be closed) (13/4)

CMS AAA tests failing at RAL. After a lot of work and new xrootd redirectors problems persist. It's looking to be a problem that needs the CASTOR and/or xrootd devs to look at. In progress (30/3)

The Sno+ gfal copy ticket. Matt M still sees gfal-copy hang for files at RAL when he uses the GUID (SURL works). A Castor oddity perhaps? Matt asks a question about what problems like this (coupled with the move away from lcg tools) will mean for VOs that rely on the LFC. In progress (31/3)

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.

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.

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.
