Bulletin archive


Week commencing Monday 11th June 2018
Task Areas
General updates

Monday 11th June

  • There is a pre-GDB Tuesday on benchmarking.
  • There is a June GDB on Wednesday.
  • HEPSYSMAN is next week 18th-19th June - so no ops meeting next Tuesday.
  • Winnie – 8th June problem with argo-mon.egi.eu
  • Progress towards running LSST DESC data challenge on GridPP. Lack of multicore option in DIRAC for per VO basis.
  • DPM 1.10.2 update issue
  • dCache and IPv6: GridFTP doors and pools require that if a client can connect to an IPv6 address on an interface, that interface should also have an IPv4 address to which that client can connect.
  • Brian: requested input last week to Hardware for Grid SE page.
  • Of note: VO vo.geoss.eu status from Pending to Production
  • APEL: delay in processing VM accounting records and new cloud data appearing in the Portal during the week of the 11th to 15th June. This is so that the APEL Repository can be updated to correctly assign the usage VMs incur to individual months when they run over month boundaries (i.e. long running VMs). This requires reloading a large volume of existing cloud accounting data once the update has been applied.
  • May A/R (waiting for replies to 6th June request):
    • ALICE All OK
    • Atlas RHUL 81% Lanc 86%
    • LHCB RHUL 76% Bristol 74% (Availability only)
    • CMS Bristol 77%
  • WLCG weekly ops meeting minutes from Monday 11th.
  • Today there are issues affecting the databases that GOCDB relies on, leading to very slow responses through the portal and API.


Monday 21st May

  • CHEP 2018 registration is open until June 2nd.
  • As of 15th May: EUGridPMA have announced a new set of CA rpms.
  • AD will talk on Rucio work at the storage meeting tomorrow.
  • The WLCG weekly ops meeting takes place on Tuesday this week (meeting notes).

Monday 14th May

WLCG Operations Coordination - AgendasWiki Page

Monday 16th April

  • There was a meeting on 12th. Agenda | Minutes.
    • Balazs Konya is new in the role of WLCG Middleware Officer.
    • Next meeting 7th June.
    • Delay for submission of GGUS tickets for recalculation should be respected. It is 10 days after monthly drafts of the availability reports are sent around by WLCG project office. If the GGUS tickets are not submitted respecting 10 days delay, they are not accepted.
    • A/R recalculations will be accepted if they are relevant to the site MoU commitment or concern time ranges of sufficient length.

Monday 5th March

  • The agenda and minutes from the WLCG ops coordination meeting last week are available.
  • Special topics were: CNAF recovery update; SAM recalculation policy draft discussion and Progress on WLCG Storage Space Accounting Prototype including tape metrics.

Tuesday 27th February


Tier-1 - Status Page

Tuesday 11th June Report for the Experiments Liaison Report (11/06/2018) is here.

  • Continuing problems with small VOs and Castor (BDii) - Please be advised that in the light of the impact on a number of smaller VO's the removal of this service has caused, that Castor information (at least in the short term), is now being published in the BDii.
Storage & Data Management - Agendas/Minutes

Wed 16 May

  • Operational issues some of which at least are due to timeouts hardwired in the system.
  • Report on CERN data lakes - still lots of questions, though. Maybe if we could try it out?

Wed 02 May

  • DPM DOME discussion... will Glasgow (or someone else) volunteer to test before DPM workshop?
  • Storage agenda for HEPiX

Monday 30th April

  • There is a new recommended GridFTP configuration change to accommodate checksum.

Wed 25 Apr

  • Discussion regarding CMS (ab)use of Bristol?
  • Report on impact of Spectre and Meltdown BIOS patches
Tier-2 Evolution - GridPP JIRA

Tuesday 5th Jun

  • RHUL updated to Vac 3.0 / Vac-in-a-Box 1.0 last week, including support for custom network configurations (network interface bonding)

Tuesday 15th May

Tuesday 8th May

  • Updated the instructions in the wiki about supporting GridPP DIRAC Service VOs at Vac sites. This makes use of the multipart vacuum pipes in Vac 3.0, which allow the definitions of multiple VMs to be obtained from a single JSON file: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Vac_configuration_for_GridPP_DIRAC (The same mechanism will work in Vcycle 1.0)



Accounting - UK Grid Metrics HEPSPEC06 Atlas Dashboard HS06

Tickets

Monday 11th June 2018, 16.00 BST

36 Open UK Tickets this week.

Link to all the UK Tickets.

The only tickets that caught my eye are:

NGI: 135038 - The NGI gocdb check ticket. Does any more input need to be given from sites for this?
QMUL: 134532 - LHCB have got back to this ticket and confirmed things are working, so it can be closed.
BRISTOL: 134820 - I reckon this old CMS ticket requested information can be closed too.
RHUL: 135542 - Another for the 'can be closed' pile, although CMS would like to see if there were any explanations for the temporary pilot problems that they saw.


Tools - MyEGI Nagios

Monday 20th November

Tuesday 18th July

  • Following our ops discussion last week, Steve will focus his tests on supporting the GridPP DIRAC area and decommission the other tests.
