RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 19th November 2014=
Review of Issues during the week 12th to 19th November 2014. |
- During the morning of Tuesday 18th there were network problems - particularly affecting DNS lookups. This occured following a planned network change that was not expected to affect Tier1 operations.
Resolved Disk Server Issues |
- None
Current operational status and issues |
- Some problems on Atlas Castor instance. At various times in the last couple of weeks the Atlas workload has led to differing groups of disk servers spending a lot of time in a "wait i/o" state. This is triggered by the numbers of reads using xroot and has led to some SAM test failures.
Ongoing Disk Server Issues |
- None
Notable Changes made this last week. |
- Doubled the uplink (10 -> 20Gbit) for the network stack used by the Tape servers serving the T10000B & C drives. The existing link was at full capacity.
- Grid Service updates: BDIIs updated to EMI 3 update 21; LB nodes updated to EMI 3 update 21; LFC updated to EMI 3 update 16.
- OS Errata rolled out to Castor GEN instance (headnodes & disk servers) this morning (12th Nov).
Declared in the GOC DB |
Service | Scheduled? | Outage/At Risk | Start | End | Duration | Reason |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Atlas, CMS & LHCb Castor instances (srm-atlas, srm-cms, srm-lhcb) | SCHEDULED | WARNING | 19/11/2014 11:00 | 19/11/2014 12:00 | 1 hour | Warning on Castor Atlas, CMS and LHCb instance during application of OS errata updates. |
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.
- First quarter 2015: Circuit testing of the remaining (i.e. non-UPS) circuits in the machine room.(Provisional dates: week 12-16 January).
Listing by category:
- Databases:
- A new database (Oracle RAC) has been set-up to host the Atlas 3D database. This is updated from CERN via Oracle GoldenGate. This system is yet to be brought into use. (Currently Atlas 3D/Frontier still uses the OGMA datase system, although this was also changed to update from CERN using Oracle Golden Gate.)
- 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).
