'''Tuesday 28th July'''
 
* Science Board has convened... but the GridPP outcome will not be announced for some weeks. We should know by the GridPP35 meeting.
 
* GGUS was down at the weekend due to an unscheduled downtime.
 
* Winnie: minor VOs sending to queues they're not allowed to after re-YAIM of CREAM CE. (24/07)
 
* Brian: automating storage dumps and uploads for ATLAS to be extended to T2s ( possibly)
 
* LSST French CVMFS does not 'UK' software so is of limited use.
 
* The DIRAC server outage (also IC top BDII) - lessons learned and resilience options.
 
* Dan: how would you set up an xrootd server for another vo like snoplus? (22/07). Relates to Remote loading of Grid files for SNO+.
 
 
'''Tuesday 21st July'''
 
* Various requests (e.g. via EGI) to express interest in "Compute Resources for PanCancer Analysis of Whole Genomes" call.
 
* MM raised a question about remote loading of Grid files for SNO+ (email 20th July).
 
* From Winnie: yaim on CREAM-CE - no update of var/lib/bdii/gip/ldif/ files. Should it?
 
* From Catalin (16th July): The decommissioning process of the 'gridpp.ac.uk' CVMFS space is about halfway, and it came to my attention the fact that sites are defining the CVMFS_REPOSITORIES variable at WN level. Whilst this variable was mandatory with cvmfs v2.0.X, this is not case with v2.1.Y. I would ask site admins to remove the 'gridpp.ac.uk' repository names from there, except the regional UK VO repositories (londongrid, scotgrid, southgrid, north grid)
 
* /cvmfs/gridpp-vo help. Down to the repository? Is more documentation needed here?
 
* Atlas ADC meeting containing discussion of the future of cloud support is at 4.30 on the 21st of July, and sites are welcome to attend.
 
* For those who missed it: [arxiv.org/abs/1507.03414 observation of a new particle with LHCb]! Also see the [http://lhcb-public.web.cern.ch/lhcb-public/Welcome.html#Penta press release].
 
* [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2587 Minutes of the last EGI operations meeting] are now available.
 
* Process for uploading files to CVMFS.

A reminder that there is a weekly [http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/RAL_Tier1_Experiments_Liaison_Meeting Tier-1 experiment liaison meeting]. Notes from the last meeting [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2015-08-05 here]
+
'''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].
* the outages of the previous week preceded a long-planned scheduled intervention on 4th August when an engineer from the router vendor company was present. As a result of this intervention and associated discussions we believe these router problems are now largely understood and we are again running with a resilient pair of network routers.  
+
<!-- *********************************************************** ----->
* There was a problem with a core switch and router on the morning of Saturday 8th August. The RAL site was offline from approx 7:30 until 10:00.
+
* Looking upgrading Castor disk servers OS during second half of August and updating the Castor Oracle database during September.
+
* Ongoing testing of worker nodes running a new configuration where they obtain the grid middleware via cvmfs. Will now move to rollout across more nodes.
+
 
<!-- **********************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.
 +
 +
'''11 June 2019''' Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (10/06/2019) is [https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2019-06-10 here].

 +
* 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.

'''Tuesday 28th July'''
 
* Ewan:  /cvmfs/gridpp-vo help ... there's a lot of historical stuff on the GridPP wiki that makes it look a lot more complicated than it is now. We really should have a bit of a clear out at some point.

'''Tuesday 9th June '''
+
LHCb has added this to their requirements:
  
LSST voms2 records are not present in VOID cards yet.
+
Sites not having an SRM installation must provide:
As a workaround, a temporary note of the actual
+
values has been added to the LSST section of
+
Approved VOs.
+
  
 +
* 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.

 +
 +
'''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.

** ...Concerning LHCONE for both T1 and T2. 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. The current system works fine and we therefore see no overriding reason to remove T1-T1 transit via LHCOPN. ...The UK is sensitive to the “collective” needs of the community, and as a general statement we would always seek to address any legitimate request agreed by the WLCG MB in order to play our role in meeting international expectations.

Atlas deletion errors after a a disk server fell over- nothing wrong with the ticket handling, but Alessandra brings up a point that always niggles me - the emphasis on the total number of transaction errors and not the number of affected unique files. In progress (8/8)

LHCB ticket sparked by those IPv6 problems. Still no word from Vladimir; Raja - could you comment? I suspect there's been plenty of room for LHCB jobs in QM's (and everyone else who mainlines atlas jobs) queues this weekend. Waiting for reply (21/7)

  • 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.

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.
