https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139476 (1/2)<br />
 
This request for an LFC dump for MICE has been sitting for a month, has it fallen under a pile? In progress (4/2)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=138665 (4/12/18)<br />

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139639 (12/2)<br />

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=138500 (26/11/18)<br />

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139723 (15/2)<br />
 
Atlas permissions problems on echo scratch disk. I've just scanned the ticket, but there's a reference to problems with stating files immediately after upload that were seen at Lancaster. Investigations are ongoing, but perhaps are a little stalled? In progress (26/2)
 
 
'''UCL'''<br />
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139101 (8/1)<br />
 
A ROD APEL ticket - Ben is stuck trying to fix it as he's having no luck installing ViaB on his nodes - "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: UMDbase.". Although it jsut occurs to me it might be worth having Ben try again as he might have tried when the UMD repos were down t'other week. In progress (4/3)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134573 (17/4/18)<br />

Debugging a problem with one of RALPP's perfsonar hosts. Chris thinks there might be an errant expired certificate somewhere on his server. But where? Does it sound similar to anyone? In progress (14/2)
 
 
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139915 (26/2)<br />
 
v6 transfer problem ticket. Chris fixed the immediate problem with a network restart, but the root cause remains unknown. In Progress (28/2)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139344 (28/1)<br />

Task Areas
General updates

Tuesday 5th March 2019


Monday 18th February 2019


Tuesday 12th February

  • DPM release - 1.11
  • Approved VOs: changes to BIOMED and ENMR
  • Simon: VAC with VM condor VM to support local batch jobs?
  • There is a GDB this week - agenda.
  • NGI Argus/Central Banning config (see DC message).
  • There was a WLCG ops meeting yesterday. Minutes are available.
  • HOW19 registration (early bird rate has ended). HSF-OSG-WLCG joint workshop.
  • A/R explanations for January: QMUL power outage; Bham now on EOS so SE tests fail; ECDF 80% LHCb??


Tuesday 5th February

  • The EGI RP/RC A/R Report for January 2019 is available. UKI overall fine. Bham and RAL-LCG2 may wish to examine their results.
  • A reminder.... Please could everyone think about their WLCG (and beyond) engagements and commitments and put anything of note in the wiki table here.
  • Notes from yesterday's WLCG ops meeting are available. Issues at RAL noted by LHCb.
  • It is CMS week this week.
  • In case missed here is Elena's ATLAS update:
    • https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=138033: singularity jobs failing at RAL. A job that Alessandra submitted still has a problem with the home directory. Ral is trying to fix it.
    • There was a power lost to a rack and the two storage nodes in it in Lancaster over weekend which cause a problem to ATLAS jobs. This was fixed on Monday.
    • Raul asked for srmless atlas transfers for Brunel. Elena is changing transfer configuration in AGIS but the jobs are still failing. Peter will look into this.
    • There was a discussion on lightweight ATLAS Grid sites @ADC weekly last week. Sheffield, Cambridge, Brunel, Durham, Bham and Sussex should become diskless sites.
  • There is an ongoing discussion about LSST jobs on GridPP resources that may be of wider interest. Their VOMS was down so the question was raised about using GridPP VOMS or setting up another VOMS in the UK to read its data from the SLAC instance.
  • The 9th DIRAC Users Workshop will be held in London 14. - 17. May 2019. Here is the registration link.
  • December's WLCG A/R final report is available at via this link.
  • The figures for January 2019 are now available and updates from 3 sites requested:
  • Simon G asks: VAC with VM condor VM to support local batch jobs? Has anyone done it??
  • EGI has started an HTCondor integration process and captures progress here: https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139377.
  • End of Support for CREAM-CE: The CREAM working group has announced that official support for the CREAM-CE component will cease at the end of the EOSC-hub project, i.e. in Dec 2020. The CREAM working group will be providing full support until the end of 2019, including one minor release already scheduled. During 2020 only security updates will be released.
