* On Monday (8th Sep) there was a few minute break in network access to the Tier1 at around 5pm. Investigation showed that the primary router of our failover pair that connects the Tier1 network to the site rebooted at around 4pm. This cased two short (seconds) breaks in connectivity as the traffic failed over to the backup router then failed back. The cause of the problem an hour later, with a break in connnectivity for a few minutes, is not yet understood.

* On Saturday (13th Sep) there was a problem with the Atlas Castor instance that persisted into the beginning of Sunday. A number of measures were taken to improve it, although the root cause remains unknown.

* A high rate of Atlas file access failures into/from Castor was seen during the day yesterday (9th Sep). A number of measures were taken and the problem stopped - although the underlying cause is not yet understood.

* For the second half of last week there were problems with cream-ce02.
−
* Checks on the disk servers to be removed from the GenTape cache show a number (~300) of problematic files. These are likely to be the results of partly failed transfers into Castor in the past. These are being checked and will be followed up with the appropriate VOs.
+
* This morning (Wednesday 17th Sep) there was a problem with some machines that run as VMs - the symptom was that their networking stopped. Restarting the network fixed the problem. This is similar to a problem seen on the 30th August. The configuration of the network interface on these systems has been changed to workaround this. One of the systems affected was the argus server and this caused a problem for batch job submissions for an hour or so.

RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 17th September 2014

Review of Issues during the week 10th to 17th September 2014.
  • On Saturday (13th Sep) there was a problem with the Atlas Castor instance that persisted into the beginning of Sunday. A number of measures were taken to improve it, although the root cause remains unknown.
  • For the second half of last week there were problems with cream-ce02.
  • This morning (Wednesday 17th Sep) there was a problem with some machines that run as VMs - the symptom was that their networking stopped. Restarting the network fixed the problem. This is similar to a problem seen on the 30th August. The configuration of the network interface on these systems has been changed to workaround this. One of the systems affected was the argus server and this caused a problem for batch job submissions for an hour or so.

Advanced warning for other interventions
The following items are being discussed and are still to be formally scheduled and announced.
  • The rollout of the RIP protocol to the Tier1 routers still has to be completed.
  • Access to the Cream CEs will be withdrawn apart from leaving access for ALICE. The proposed date for this is Tuesday

30th September.

  • The Atlas Frontier service will be switched to use the new database system that updates from CERN using Oracle "GoldenGate" on 24th Sep.

Listing by category:

  • Databases:
    • Apply latest Oracle patches (PSU) to the production database systems (Castor, LFC).
    • A new database (Oracle RAC) has been set-up to host the Atlas3D database. This is updated from CERN via Oracle GoldenGate.
    • Switch LFC/3D to new Database Infrastructure.
  • Castor:
    • Update Castor headnodes to SL6.
    • Fix discrepancies were found in some of the Castor database tables and columns. (The issue has no operational impact.)
  • Networking:
    • Move switches connecting the 2011 disk servers batches onto the Tier1 mesh network.
    • Make routing changes to allow the removal of the UKLight Router.
    • Enable the RIP protocol for updating routing tables on the Tier1 routers.
  • Fabric
    • Migration of data to new T10KD tapes. (Migration of CMS from 'B' to 'D' tapes underway; migration of GEN from 'A' to 'D' tapes to follow.)
    • Firmware updates on remaining EMC disk arrays (Castor, FTS/LFC)
    • There will be circuit testing of the remaining (i.e. non-UPS) circuits in the machine room (Expected first quarter 2015).
Entries in GOC DB starting between the 10th and 17th September 2014.
  • None
