'''Thursday 7th May'''
+
'''Tuesday 11th June'''
* The [https://indico.cern.ch/event/392739/ agenda]. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150507 Minutes]
+
 
* News: Alessandra will present the WLCG workshop conclusions at next week's GDB.
+
* 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?
* Middleware news: UMD 3.12.0 released this week (fixes for ARGUS-PAP and dCache server)
+
 
* Middleware baselines: dCache 2.6.x removed. New version 2.10.28/ 2.12.8 of dCache. Sites should avoid simultaneous updates.
+
'''Tuesday 14th May'''
* Middleware issues: major upgrade of torque arrived in EPEL (from torque-2.5.7 to torque-4.2.10) which is not compatible standard EMI torque installation. If upgraded the patched 2.5.13 version of torque has been pushed to the EMI third-party repo in order to downgrade.
+
* Next meeting this Thursday.
* T0 & T1 upgrades: FTS 3.2.33 upgraded at CERN & RAL.
+
 
* T0 news:  batch HTCondor pilot is open for grid submission. Lower-than-usual WLCG availability figures in March for Atlas and CMS - possible overload.
+
'''Tuesday 9th April'''
* T1 feedback: NTR
+
* Ops meeting last week: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes190404
* T2 feedback: NTR
+
 
* OS support in UMD: Plans in EGI for CentOS7 support. 13 products are ready for EPEL7, but in general CentOS7 is not a viable option for sites. The release of UMD4 (supporting EPEL7 and Ubuntu) is foreseen for September 2015 and the decommissioning of SL5 for March 2016. It is likely that some products relevant for WLCG will not be ready for EPEL7 before 2016. The requirement for WLCG is to provide SL6 until the end of Run2, however, there are already offers for resources on CentOS7 and this is an incentive for experiments to validate their software on it.
+
 
* ALICE: CASTOR at CERN - some re-reco job instabilities.
+
'''Tuesday 26th March'''
* ATLAS: ~running full. Considering increasing job lengths for all MCORE jobs. Need sites to provide MCORE resources. Rucio/FTS issue was discovered - fix via update. Tier-0 data and computing workflow fully commissioned.
+
* For information, there was an Ops meeting on the 7th: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes190307 (I think we might have dicussed this one).
* CMS: CMS production activities continue - Several sites reported network saturation. Evaluating to use selected “strong" Tier-2 sites to add computing capacity for DIGI-RECO. Plan to drop support of CRC32 checksum in CMS data transfer systems.
+
* Next meeting booked for 4th April
* LHCb: Various operational issues reported - CASTOR/CERN SRM access problems; other data access issues.
+
 
* gLExec: ATLAS 61 out of 94 sites. RAL, RALPP and TW-FTT issue was due to a bug in the pilot code that showed up with ARC CE + Condor sites.
+
'''Monday 11th February 2019'''
* SHA-2:  old VOMS server aliases (lcg-)voms.cern.ch were removed on Tue Apr 28.
+
* There was a WLCG ops coordination meeting last Thursday. You can view the meeting notes [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes190207 here].
* RFC proxies: RFC proxy readiness to be followed up per experiment. SAM-Nagios proxy renewal code fix to support RFC proxies.
+
** End of CREAM support Dec 2020.
* Machine/Job features: NTR
+
** Migration from CREAM to be discussed at the EGI conference 6-8 of May in Amsterdam.
* MW readiness: 10th meeting on 6th [http://indico.cern.ch/event/392665/ agenda]. WG is making a check-point of goals and priorities. ARGUS testbed at CERN is set-up and ready to start. Pakiti client requested at other test sites.  
+
** Operational intelligence discussion ([https://indico.cern.ch/event/795889/sessions/302520/attachments/1792600/2920978/Operational_Intelligence_-_WLCG_Ops_Coord-2.pdf see slides]).  
* MC deployment: NTR
+
** Experiment updates (see ATLAS discussion on DOMA)
* IPv6: LHCb: DIRAC was made IPv6-compatible back in November, but testing has started in April. Issue found at CERN with python library (wrong IPV6 address returned).
+
** WG updates (few).
* Network/Transfers WG: NTR
+
 
* HTTP deployment: perfSONAR - Security: NDT 3.7.0.1 was released. The latest perfSONAR Toolkit version that all sites should be running is 3.4.2-12.pSPS. Network performance incidents process put in place as was agreed at the last meeting. OSG/Datastore validation progressing well. Publishing results to message bus progressing, development has finalized for esmond2mq prototype. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/382623/ Recent meeting] focussed on FTS performance. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/382624/ Next meeting 3rd June]. Plan is to focus it on latency ramp up and proximity service.

'''17 June 2019''' Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (17/06/2019) is [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2019-06-17 here].
* We will turn off our remaining CREAM CEs at lunchtime today (5th May).
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* At Atlas's request we are updating the Test FTS3 services today (5th May) to v3.2.33. All being well the production service will be updated on Thursday (7th).
+
* The problems with our primary network router are still being followed up.
+
 
<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->

 +
* 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.

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

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

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.
