'''Tuesday 7th July'''
 
* There was an ops coordination meeting last Thursday 2nd July. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393610/ Agenda]: [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150702 Minutes].
 
* Highlights: The next WLCG workshop will take place in Lisbon in the first week of February 2016 and organised by LIP. A new version of UMD (3.13) has been released. The size of the HTCondor pilot service at CERN is now 300 cores and fully used. Agreed to establish a full, WLCG-wide perfSONAR mesh for the top 100 sites .
 
* [https://wlcg-mw-readiness.cern.ch/baseline/current/ Baselines]: New version of UMD ( v 3.13): Fixes/improvements for: gLexec; CREAM; StorRM; dpm-xrootd; fetch-crl.
 
** New version of the WN tarball (3.15.3-1_sl6v1) published to CVMFS grid.cern.ch, it includes updates and the gfal2-util package for the first time.
 
* Issues: NTR
 
* T0/T1 services: LFC decommissioned. Various T1 storage updates.
 
* T0 news: Condor prototype at CERN: We have now increased the pool size to almost 300 cores; ATLAS T0 LSF instance: the required capacity (110 KSpec) has been provided; The T0 receives more and more tickets (coming from GGUS or directly from SNOW) which are related to experiment support.
 
* T1: NTR
 
* T2: NTR
 
* ALICE: 80k concurrent jobs reached for many hours on Jun 21-22. Failed jobs due to CVMFS cache corruption; network incident Fri evening Jun 26 caused all VOBOXes for CERN to become unreachable; latest CASTOR versions are incompatible with old xrd3cp implementation.
 
* * Tier-1 sites requested to upgrade to Xrootd 4.1 (or newer).
 
* ATLAS: seeing lost files due to interaction between Rucio/FTS, something in Rucio, something in FTS.
 
* CMS: Good utilization; Faulty MC production workflows seen (me allocations >100GB); Root certificate of Spanish CA recently expired at some sites.
 
* LHCb: Problems with DPM SEs at T2 sites. Some files had no checksum. Checking and recovering checksum for all files.
 
* WLCG site survey on GGUS: Pablo reports the high level of satisfaction (98%). Some requests already supported. Some common issues reported (like lack of detail in tickets). [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393610/contribution/5/material/slides/1.pdf See slides].
 
* gLExec: NTR
 
* RPF proxies: proper patch of the proxy renewal sensor for SAM is available.
 
* Machine/job features: NTR
 
* MIddleware readiness: Latest version of pakiti-client (v3.0.1) with tag support has been pushed to EPEL stable; PIC and Brunel are collaborating for PhedeX tests. This allows PIC to better compare one site against another. Next meeting Wednesday September 16th at 4pm CEST.
 
* Multicore deployment: John Gordon will send out a broadcast and produce an updated list of missing CEs. Action should stay until all sites done.
 
* IPv6: NTR.
 
* Squid monitoring & HTTP proxy discovery: Little reported.
 
* Network & transfers: Agreed to establish WLCG-wide meshes for top 100 sites (based on the contributed storage and location). This will enable full mesh testing of latencies, traceroutes and throughput; perfSONAR 3.5 RC is planned to be released this week. [https://indico.cern.ch/event/393101/ Next meeting will be on 8th of July].
 
* HTTP deployment: NTR.
 
* [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes150702#Specific_actions_for_sites See site actions].
 
  
  
'''Tuesday 30th June'''
 
* A new WLCG ops portal will be live soon. If you are particularly keen to give feedback please contact Jeremy

'''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].
* RAL Open Days went very well.
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* We are extending the number of worker nodes running a test configuration (these obtain the grid middleware via cvmfs).
+
* There will be an intervention on our faulty router on Tuesday 4th August. Just about to announce a site outage from 08:30 to 15:00.
+
 
<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->
 
<!-- **********************End T1 text************************** ----->
 +
* 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.

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.

The high level summary is that the UK is not in favour, as within the UK we have no explicit need for LHCONE for any reason of T1 capacity planning, but to implement it involves additional complexity and possibly cost.

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.
