RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 5th April2017
Review of Issues during the week 29th March to 5th April 2017.
|
- LHCb cator instance has been running with problems all this last week. Initially it appeared teh new SRM version was causing a bottleneck. This was fixed but it then appea=rs teh stager was also struggling. Work has been ongoing to resolve this.
- Some batch job submission errors have been seen by CMS and LHCb. These are not yet understood. ?? Ongoing
- Over the weekend there were problems with the Atlas Frontier systems. Lyon were also affected.
- On Monday problems were reported on one of the ARC CEs (AC-CE4) and its services wree restarted.
Resolved Disk Server Issues
|
- GDSS780 (LHCbDst - D1T0) had failed on Sunday (26th) and was put back in service the following day. However, it crashed again on the 29th March. Following that its disks were swapped into new chassis and that was brought into service (as GDSS780) on Monday 3rd April.
- GDSS733 (LHCbDst - D1T0) was taken out of service on Thursday 30th March. The server seemed to be behaving badly in Castor and was taken out of production and checked over by Fabric Team although nothing was found. It was returned to service the following afternoon.
Current operational status and issues
|
- We are still seeing a rate of failures of the CMS SAM tests against the SRM. These are affecting our (CMS) availabilities but the level of failures is reduced as compared to a few weeks ago.
Ongoing Disk Server Issues
|
Limits on concurrent batch system jobs.
|
- Atlas Pilot (Analysis) 1500
- CMS Multicore 460
Notable Changes made since the last meeting.
|
- Six 2014 batch of disk servers have been installed in CMSDisk.
- Perfsonar nodes are now working over IPv6 on the production Tier1 network.
- The second chiller to be replaced was craned out on last Thursday and the replacement put in its place.
- Out of Hours cover for the CEPH ECHO service is being piloted.
Advanced warning for other interventions
|
The following items are being discussed and are still to be formally scheduled and announced.
|
Pending - but not yet formally announced:
- Update Castor SRMs - CMS & GEN still to do. This is awaiting a full understanding of the problem seen with LHCb.
- Chiller replacement - work ongoing.
- Merge AtlasScratchDisk into larger Atlas disk pool.
Listing by category:
- Castor:
- Update SRMs to new version, including updating to SL6.
- Bring some newer disk servers ('14 generation) into service, replacing some older ('12 generation) servers.
- Networking
- Enable first services on production network with IPv6 once addressing scheme agreed.
- Infrastructure:
- Two of the chillers supplying the air-conditioning for the R89 machine room are being replaced.
