+ | * There was a [https://indico.cern.ch/event/326086/ WLCG coordination meeting] last Thursday. [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes140821] are available. | ||
+ | * News: CERN-IT to terminate the SLC5-based interactive and batch services (lxplus5 and lxbatch5) soon. The current target date is 30 September 2014. | ||
+ | * A study to assess how operational effort in WLCG is used and could be optimised will launch in the next weeks. This will cover the management of sites and site services. It will (generally) not cover the experiment computing operations. | ||
+ | * MW baselines: No recent updates | ||
+ | * MW Issues: Storm and Argus integration issues.APEL fails to parse accounting records , affecting APEL 1.2.1 (released mid-August). Sites affected should move to 1.2.2. CVMFS upgrade to 2.1.19 almost done. | ||
+ | * Oracle: [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/OracleDeployment upgrade plans] now available. | ||
+ | * T0: ARGUS latest version deployed. Looking at decommissioning AFS UI. A few users have already contacted CERN pointing out that they need SLC5 to build their software, as they haven't completed the porting to SLC6 yet - plan to push users to VMs on OpenStack. | ||
+ | * Confirmation wanted on the AFS UI tarball support. | ||
+ | * T1: No feedback. | ||
+ | * T2: No feedback. | ||
+ | * ALICE: steady production and analysis activities throughout the past weeks. | ||
+ | * ATLAS: No report. | ||
+ | * CMS: Finishing samples for CSA14; Computing Analysis Software challenge 2014 extended till mid-September. Users happy with AAA and miniAOD. Reminder for sites: Need to change xrootd redirectors, see this hn post; Need to adapt site-local-config.xml to include <phedex-node value=“Tx_CO_Site{_type}"/> (e.g. value=“T1_DE_KIT_Disk") in the <local-stage-out> section and the same format (but the PhEDEx name for the fallback endpoint) in <fallback-stage-out> NEW; Need to upgrade to CVMFS >= 2.1.19 immediately. | ||
+ | * LHCb: Low activity, mainly monte carlo simulation and user jobs. For SAM/Nagios in order to probe the ARC CEs at several UK sites, the probes are submitted now via a WMS instance from RAL-LCG2. The WMS instance was confirmed to be kept in production also for this purpose at least until 2015. | ||
+ | * Tracking tools: no report. | ||
+ | * FTS3: no report. | ||
+ | * glexec: no report. | ||
+ | * Machine/job features: Developer is leaving OSG. | ||
+ | * MW readiness: A new version of the WLCG Package Reporter has been released. A new BDII update 9 and Cream-ce 1.6.3 for CMS verification being deployed. | ||
+ | * Multicore: no report. | ||
+ | * SHA-2: Progress with new VOMS servers - compliance with the WLCG infrastructure being tested, ALICE results show CREAM/ARGUS config issues at some sites. Broadcast next week with hard deadline for 15th September. Sites that fail the SAM preprod tests by the end of Aug will be ticketed . | ||
+ | * WMS decommissioning: Condor validation - ATLAS and CMS ready. Deployment to production is planned on Wed 1st of October 2014. | ||
+ | * IPv6: Ewan ran tests on pure IPv6 EMI-3 UI. Mixed results. | ||
+ | * Squid monitoring/HTTP proxy: Reactivated Squid Monitoring TF to track its [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/SquidMonitoringTaskForce#Task_Overview task list]. | ||
+ | * Network and transfer metrics: [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/NetworkTransferMetrics Tasks/membership updated]. perfSONAR Toolkit 3.4rc2 became available for testing, version 3.4 is a major milestone for the WG as it enables access via REST API and introduces several important performance improvements, therefore deployment campaign will follow once we get a stable release. | ||
